Music was lovely and well timed. Elias played beautifully. Would absolutely book him again!
Elias was a great addition to our event. He is super easy to work with, and played a variety of songs that set the mood for our Grand Opening. I will definitely be hiring him again.
It was a pleasure having Elias & colleague play for our corporate event. They did a great job and were perfect for our theme.
Elias was wonderful! Not only did he make the planning process easy, he happily worked with us to prepare music for our Maypole Dance, and to provide musical accompaniment for our choir later that evening. He helped our team with a last-minute on-site amplification need, and did it all with grace and a very pleasant demeanor. I'd work with him again in an instant, and would happily recommend him to anyone seeking a professional performer with a wide variety of instrumental skills and music styles in his repertoire.
I would definitely use Elias services again!
Elias was a terrific communicator--he acted as coordinator to round up a string quintet for my event and also violinist of course. They were all rehearsed and ready to go, showed up on time, and played beautifully. I would definitely hire again!
He really completed the vision I had for our wedding reception …. Incredible musician. Can’t wait to have him play for us again!
I wanted festive background music for an end-of-year informal resident appreciation event in our Club Room. Elias delivered perfectly with a balance of upbeat fiddling and classic holiday interpretations. He smoothly transitioned to each piece and was very well received. His talent was a superb compliment to our event.
I had Elias play at at my proposal, which was a very coordinated event, with many times lines and custom request for music, with only a 2 day notice. He was OUTSTANDING and made this day so special. 11/10 recommendation!
Absolutely beautiful music and very easy going musician. We enjoyed every minute and his rendition of the parting glass moved us. Thank you for your presence Elias! You made the party!
Elias was absolutely phenomenal. He sent me video after video of practice runs for our wedding songs. He responded quickly to everything was open to any changes I wanted and always seemed so enthusiastic and like he was really anticipating my wedding. Everyone complemented how well he played. He made our wedding day so special!!! If you're looking for a violinist he is the ONE!
Elias was very personable and professional. His musical ability was superb and he accommodated our requests for music. Very talented musician.
Had a great experience working with Elias and booking through Gig Salad- he did a great job performing at our event and I would definitely use again in the future!
Elias was absolutely amazing for the surprise proposal of my (now) fiancé. He was very communicative and professional throughout the planning and execution process. Having him there was the icing on the cake and my fiancé appreciated it. Highly recommend!
Previous booking cancelled. Elias came to the rescue, and did a Great Job!
