November 15, 2025The evening was enhanced by her beautiful music. The guests all communicated how music filled the room and really took it to a higher level. We were so pleased and happy with every aspect of our interactions which were all long distance. She made us feel comfortable and it was a fun process.
Christiina was easy to communicate with and we chatted about details and that process was so fun as we outlined the evening. She gave us 150% of herself to Mae this evening incredible.

August 25, 2025My husband and I attend the same church that Christina does and that is where we first heard her talent. For our wedding ceremony, we hired Christina to do what she does best and it couldn't have been more beautiful. She is very sweet and kind. She is easy going and made our day very special. The song she wrote was magical during the ceremony and she had many happy tears flowing from our family and friends. I glad we get to enjoy her music every Sunday.

July 10, 2025Christina played at our wedding ceremony and again at our reception. Her playing was beautiful and provided a perfect backdrop for our ceremony.
She was friendly and flexible and very reasonably priced. I’d hire again in a second!

June 30, 2025Christina played classical guitar at a memorial celebration we held last week to honor my father's passing. The booking process was very easy, and Christina is very sweet and easy to deal with. She was extremely accommodating to the time, place and type of music we wanted to hear. My father was a fan of Bach and Christina prepared several pieces specially for the event. And then, just days before the event my uncle, who is a flutist, offered to accompany Christina on a few pieces he selected. Christina very kindly agreed, and quickly learned the new pieces he wanted her to play in an extremely short time frame. We could not have been happier with her performance. Her music set the perfect background for our event and helped to make the event special. I give her the highest of recommendations!
