If you want an amazing music experience at your wedding, you need to hire Cassandra! She was AMAZING kind, professional, attentive, on point answering back to emails, messages, changes and concerns. You made my wedding beautiful and more than what I expected! I was throughly impressed by her willingness and ability to learn and play specific songs that I wanted for the ceremony. She is so incredibly friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend her services to anyone wanting a Violinist for any occasion!

Set list
I take requests. I do not have a specific lists of songs because I play whatever is asked of me. I have played anything from classical pieces by Bach, to top Billboard hits from artists like Ed Sheeran or Shawn Mendes, to fiddle pieces like the "Devil Went Down to Georgia."
If you are interested in booking me for a wedding, I do have a Song Suggestion List if needed. This is a list of songs I have played before or are often requested at weddings. If you get stuck in your musical planning process, this list can help or inspire your choices. I always let my clients know that they can always veer from the list!
