Music from Heaven

Julia was a great addition to our wedding! She played beautiful tones before and throughout our wedding ceremony! Everyone loved her and she not only played amazingly but she also looked very sharp! She was very willing to play all the songs I requested and took instructions very well, I also asked her to play a medley of her own selection and she chose great songs such as the beetles. She’s a very talented young woman and you should definitely book her if you want to add a touch of magic to your special day.

Beautiful playing!

Julia did a wonderful job as a solo violinist for our wedding ceremony. She was a pleasure to deal with and was very responsive. Julia was able to play requested songs and customized our set without issue. I would highly recommend Julia for any event!
