Wonderful violinist!

Johnathan's playing for my sister's wedding was absolutely amazing. The guests were very impressed and many complimented on his exceptional musical talent. His violin playing was anything but ordinary; it was truly special! He played all the songs we requested. We are very grateful for his contribution to the wedding and would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Johnathan. We are thrilled that we chose him to perform on this special occasion! I recommend him for anyone looking to hire a violinist!

Additional booking notes

The beautiful thing about string instruments is that we only need the space and ourselves to create magnificent music.

*If the event is outdoors, weather conditions must be above 50ºF with zero precipitation. We recommend having a backup plan in the event of precipitation or poor weather conditions--the instruments will need to be inside should this occur.
