I apologize for the late notice and I am truly sorry that I had to withdraw from performing due to personal & family reasons.

November 27, 2023Erin played a beautiful piece at my father’s funeral. She was very professional, punctual, and had no problems with our requested song. She played flawlessly. Thank you for being there at such a sensitive time. Highly recommended. Thank you Erin! ❤️

June 15, 2017Erin was amazing. She played during our wedding ceremony with a pianist and played extremely well with him. She also played music at our sit-down dinner for our reception and did a beautiful job. She easily picked up the songs I requested and any requested songs from the guests! I couldn't have been happier with how she played and was impressed with what an elegant addition she made to our special event!

August 13, 2013Erin was so easy to plan the pieces she would play for our wedding. Everyone loved her music, and it was the perfect fit for our wedding! We could not have asked for a better musician for our special day!

December 12, 2012I recently met Erin at a wedding event where she played outside along with a pianist (also from GigSalad). She did a wonderful job complimenting the pianist as well as shining in her own talents. Erin is very professional and talented while also being very personable and easy to speak with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a violinist.

I am passionate about playing violin and the audience would experience this through my movements and musical playing. I want to take my listener on a peaceful journey away from the craziness of the day and bring fun festive music to their events. I have played a wide variety of venues and I look forward to adding on even more interesting and unique experiences. I give my clients many options of music styles and repertoire, making their event special, memorable and specific to them.
