Overview

I am a local classically trained violinist with over 16 years of training, lessons, and performances. I have extensive experience playing at various social gatherings, weddings, religious events, and ensembles. While I am classically trained, I can also play pop, jazz, blues, and really anything you'd like to hear! I bring an attitude of excitement, flexibility, and collaboration to my events. I am passionate about using music to make people’s special days come to life!

Soundtrack of my wedding!

Caroline is a godsend. When my wife and I were looking for musicians to play at our wedding ceremony, we came upon Caroline’s page. We were instantly interested given her impressive history and repertoire. When the day came around, she played the most wonderful rendition of the Pines of Rome mvmt. 3 with piano accompaniment. Brought tears to my eyes, genuinely. Cannot speak highly enough of her. She even brought us a gift!

What to expect

If we work together, I will ask you about your ideas for the day and what you would like. I am happy to suggest music if you are not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I am also always happy to learn new music if you do have something specific in mind!

About

Hello! My name is Caroline and I have been a violinist for over 20 years. I played my first wedding gig at the age of 10, and have never looked back! I love using music to make someone's special day even more meaningful. As a solo violinist who was trained both by ear and to read music, I bring flexibility and enthusiasm to your day. My goal is always to listen to your vision and make it come to life.

Additional booking notes

As a solo violinist, I do not need much in terms of set-up which makes it easy for me to play in a variety of locations or even move locations during the course of an event. I bring my own music stand, music, and instrument. Most event spaces do not require a microphone for the sound of my violin to travel!
