Dayna was incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire experience. She promptly and thoroughly communicated with me. She even flawlessly played a random song I requested at the last minute. I must hire her to perform at my wedding after this amazing experience.

She went above and beyond to ensure that my engagement was truly special. I am so grateful. Words cannot express how thankful I am. If you want to make your special moments unforgettable, you need to hire Dayna, the violinist.

Excellent violinist

We booked Dayna for our microwedding and it was pretty last minute (two weeks before) and she still played everything we requested and did it beautifully. Her music set the right mood for our wedding and made everything feel complete. She was very flexible and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend booking her.

Additional booking notes

Most events I perform acoustically and my violin projects enough to be heard but I’m able to bring my own PA system for a large event or outdoor.
