Wedding Violinist

Ayna came recommended from a friend to play violin for our 2020 wedding. She performed for both our ceremony and cocktail hour was absolutely incredible! Prior to our wedding date we had a few calls where we gave her songs to learn and she nailed it. Throwing a COVID safe (outdoor, distanced, masked...) wedding was not an easy feat, but Ayna made the music beautiful and our day that much more special. Highly recommend.

STELLAR PERFORMANCE

Ayna was so professional, thorough, and her performance was beautiful. She reached out to me in a timely manner, sent me a sample of her work, and was very accomodating when I needed to change the time and song. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the near future. Thank you for everything! I love her!!

NYE wedding !!

Funny story - we heard Ayna playing her violin at a Mexican restaurant in NYC. My husband and I thought she is PERFECT for our wedding for cocktail hour; amazing violinist and being able to play pop songs. We got her number that night and began talking about our upcoming wedding. She was available and drove to Somerset NJ for cocktail hour. When I tell you how stunned people were ... they were STUNNED by her skills and ability to play. I was wondering why there was a big circle of people in a corner at cocktail hour and then u realized Ayna was in the middle and everyone was watching and videotaping her !! She played the violin and was able to amplify it so it was really loud, like an electric violin. She was absolutely amazing and made our wedding night. Our band even told me he got her number because she was that amazing. My husband and I even asked Ayna to stay long until dinner, so she can play in the background while we danced with our parents. I couldn’t believe all the pop songs she knew and was able to play. We will never ever regret hiring her and having her play at our wedding, best decision we ever made. People still talk about her til this day!!!!!!
