February 10, 2026We have a tradition of someone singing or playing Ave Maria at family funerals, so we went looking for someone to fill that role. Anna Andrews caught our attention because she, like a family member, had a connection to St Olaf. She already knew Ave Maria, played it on violin wonderfully and with emotion, and worked with our church music director to accompany on other music during the service. She was very responsive in communications and extremely easy to work with. Highly recommended!

September 28, 2025Anna did an amazing job. She played with our family for our wedding and came early to practice. She was patient and so flexible with our day. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

August 4, 2024We were so lucky to have found this artist, Anna, who beautifully played at my son's wedding. Her sweet strings were a subtle and powerful backdrop to a small and simple wedding at minnehaha pergola garden. She was flexible and completely open to out needs, and her music filled our souls. Thank you, Anna, for your amazing contribution to such an important event.

July 1, 2024Absolutely wonderful experience with Anna Andrews for our recent wedding event! It rained on our special day, which forced us to change the location and start time. Anna was so flexible and easy to communicate with during these changes, it was seamless! Thank you so much for everything Anna, our day was absolutely perfect!
