I loved her music

Dalilah and Jim were awesome!!! They are very talented and were perfect in setting the tone my daughter wanted for her wedding ceremony. I am SO VERY HAPPY with their performance and will definitely be using them again as well as recommending them. They made are special day EXTRAspecial! I had a couple of requests, which they accomadated. And asked her to use her judgement with a third song and she picked my granddaughters favorite (Hallelujah/Shrek song), without realizing it! I was already asked where I got them; that tells you I'm not the only one that LOVED them :)

Violin Speaks to The Heavens!

In a time of sadness, having lost a loved one, planning for a proper burial and send off is always complicated and demanding. If our experience was the norm, having an accomplished violinist would be the closest thing to bringing heaven to the graveside. I can't fathom ever having a funeral without that touch again! We were lucky to have Dalila share her talent and sounds at our time of need, it was heavenly!

Magical evening!

How do you thank two people whose beautiful music made your anniversary magical? There are no words! My wife said it was the best evening she’s ever had, and I have to agree! Their music is SO beautiful, they are simply amazing. In addition, they communicated well before the event, had a HUGE selection of music to choose from, they were prompt and on time, and even gave me her personal cell in case there were any questions before the event. The event was in our back yard, and several neighbors told me how beautiful the music was. Two of them just say I’m their yard and listened. They all loved it as well. And finally, Jim and Dalila are wonderful, friendly, kind people ! They are the best! Thank you both again SO much for making my wife fell like the special woman that she is, and sharing our anniversary with us! God bless and Godspeed!

Hudson and Delilah played an integral part in making our wedding possible. They arrived earlier than scheduled, leaving plenty of time to check mikes and make sure everything was working correctly. All the guests enjoyed their arrangements, and they were very communicative to make sure all our needs were met. They were both professional and talented.

Hudson & Delilah are amazing musicians- HIRE THEM!

I booked "Hudson & Delilah" for my surprise proposal to my partner! Within 3 minutes of posting the request on "Gig Salad" they wrote back with their interest to play my event and I appreciated their professionalism, quick communication, and that they were LGBTQ friendly :) The proposal went perfectly as planned, they followed every detailed request, and the music was so beautiful it made everyone in attendance cry! If you are looking for affordable, amicable, and delightful musicians to make your event special- I would highly recommend booking Hudson & Delilah for any occasion!

Very professional and very talented

Delilah was able to help me pull off the perfect engagement proposal! She went above and beyond by setting a staging area with a blanket, rose pedals, and candles. She knew many songs and even played a special song I requested. I would highly reccomend her to anyone looking for a violinist. Her partner is also a very good guitarist so the two of them together make a great duo.

Awesome and Professional

This is my first time booking anything over the internet, especially an 80th birthday party for my dad. We're so very thankful to have come across Delilah and Jim on gigsalad! They were very prompt in my inquiries and very patient with my questions. Also on the day of the party, it rained in LA and they arrived ahead of time and are just pleasant and talented, easy-going musicians! Plus, they played a custom song that my dad wrote too and moved him and everyone in the room! They provided a range of variety of music from mellow to upbeat to contemporary. Highly recommend!

Best performance ever!

Hudson&Delilah played at my fiance and I's engagement party and not only were we more than pleased with their performance, we were VERY appreciative and thankful for their flexibility and overall professionalism when it came to our program being delayed 30-45 minutes. We requested 2 specific performances, "A Thousand Years" and a last minute request to do a live backing of "Besame Mucho", and they came through with flying colors. I would HIGHLY recommend Hudson&Delilah for your next event they are THAT GOOD! And I will definitely be booking them for our wedding next year. Thank you once again Hudson&Delilah for your talents and good music.
