Evelyn was AMAZING from our first conversation all the way through our wedding day. She is so lovely to work with. She learned new songs for us, found an amazing cellist to accompany her. They sounded fantastic. The icing on the cake was that Evelyn recorded the prelude and ceremony music on her phone for me so I could listen to it later. She’s just the best and you should absolutely hire her.
