November 2, 2022I can't say enough wonderful things about Victoria. She's talented, amazing, and we consider her not only a beautiful force of musical wonder, but also a friend. She played for both ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding -- including helping to customize the perfect song for us for walking down the aisle. I couldn't recommend her more, because with her talent, you also get an amazing professional as well as a kind and caring person all around that is truly invested.

August 18, 2022Victoria played for our wedding July 2022 and was absolutley amazing. She took the time to call me to ask what songs I was thinking. Additionally, she had an idea of songs I could choose from, which I appeciated. She was professional and a wonderful musician. She is a must have for any wedding.

October 13, 2021I hired Victoria and her partner, at the recommendation of my wedding planner. I am SO GLAD that we found them and used them for my wedding ceremony! Victoria was easy to communicate with prior to the wedding, always responding quickly to my emails. I had asked for one song that they hadn't played before, and she made sure that they were able to do that song justice before agreeing to play it, which I appreciated. The night before the wedding, the sent me a few different videos of them playing the songs for the ceremony, since I wouldn't be able to hear them at the ceremony (the bride has to hide beforehand!)- and this was such a nice touch!! It got me so excited for the next day. Everyone at the wedding commented that the live musicians were perfect, and that the songs they played sounded so beautiful. I can't wait until we get the wedding video so I can see them in entirety. Thank you again for making my wedding ceremony so beautiful and special ❤
