So Pleased.

Of the hundreds of choices my wife & I had to make leading up to our big day, hiring Anna was quite possibly the best and easiest decision we made. From the first point of contact, she was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Throughout the entire process, we knew we were in good hands. While we stressed and stressed about so many details, Anna never gave us a single reason to stress about the music we would have for our ceremony and cocktail hour. She graciously accepted every music request we made (no matter how ridiculous some of them were!). If you have the opportunity to make Anna and her violin a part of your big day (or any event!), I strongly urge you to do so - I promise you won't be disappointed.

Very happy!

Anna did a great job referring me to another violinist, Melissa Bogle, to play at my wedding. Melissa did a great job! I would definitely refer Melissa or Anna to anyone looking for a great musician, plus they are very helpful and nice.

Thank you for playing at my wedding!

Anna Blanton played at our wedding and did such an amazing job! Each time I met or talked with Anna she was very professional and accommodating. She had some great suggestions for music selections, and was willing to play a few songs we requested. The music was so beautiful and really enhanced our wedding. We could not be happier. Thank you so much for making our wedding even more beautiful.
