Outstanding excellence.

Annelle is an extremely talented violinist. Professionally trained and exquisite. Reliable and dependable. Annelle played for our son’s private wedding ceremony, first look, dive release and vows. Each piece was played with perfection. If Annelle is available, book her without hesitation. BTW Annelle is also extremely accommodating, understanding, and kind. We will keep hiring her at every opportunity.

Excellent

I hired the very talented Annelle for a Catholic wedding service. Music ranged from Bach/Gounod Ave Maria to upbeat contemporary Christian. She played beautifully, both genres. She is responsive, focused and has a positive attitude and presence. I recommend her without hesitation!

Just beautiful!

All of my wedding guests were impressed with her performance and she was incredible to communicate with. Extremely professional and kind, she learned and played all the songs I requested while also providing backtrack music when I needed it. Truly incredible!

Small wedding ceremony

Annelle was professional, communicative and efficient. Upon meeting her, you could tell she had a beautiful soul. She made my ceremony so special and played my requests. It was a surprise for my groom and as soon as she started playing, he was already in tears. It was amazing!
