Julie was wonderful!!! We weren't sure if she would be able to play outside for my parents ceremony, but the weather cooperated for us and she was outside with us. My mom was so surprised and happy being able to hear "A Tale as Old as Time", which Julie made sure she knew for her performance. She also learned American Pie and Bohemian Rhapsody for us!
We were all blown away at her skills and everyone really enjoyed the live music she provided for us.
Thank you, Julie!
She came early, played the song “Let’s Get Married” by Jagged Edge and played it perfectly. Awesome job, I’d definitely recommend her.

Contributed to a beautiful wedding
Julie was kind enough to play for my mom's funeral service. She is truly an amazing musician. She played every song I requested ahead of time to perfection. Her violin playing is beautiful . She made my mom's service a memory to cherish as her playing moved the guests to tears. Everyone who attended the service said it was the most meaningful service they have ever been at, thanks to Julie. Julie is a truly brilliant violinist. I would hire her for any event you may have. I would hire her again in an instant. I would give her a 100 Stars A plus. I don't think she charges enough for such a talented person. Best money I ever spent. When you hire her you are getting 3 things. An amazing performance, a thoughtful considerate person, and an event that will become a life long memory to cherish. Look no further.

Juliana’s music was absolutely beautiful . Despite heavy rains and an outdoor ceremony the music was beautiful . Very talented and would highly recommend
Juliana plays beautiful music and seems to know just what will make the event special.
There was a lot of uncertainty in planning our outdoor wedding, and she handled it with ease.
She showed up early, found a spot that worked, and played while people drifted in.
Many compliments from guests on the lovely music.
We booked Juliana to play at our daughter and son-in-law's micro wedding (12 people, pandemic rules followed) on their planned for wedding day. Juliana was a dream for my daughter and I to work with and she provided the perfect ambience for the short ceremony and cocktail hour. With the rain falling outside the tent and the beautiful sound coming from her violin, she helped us to create a bubble of love and celebration. I cannot thank her enough.
Julie was fantastic! She's a great talent and very nice to converse with in between pieces. I hired Julie for my parent's 60th wedding anniversary and they were thrilled to have live music on their back porch. Thank you very much for making their day special!
She and her little violin brought to us all the majesty that a church and its organ was held back from us.
Juliana performance was beautiful. She played the entire afternoon and evening non stop. She obviously loves playing as she declined taking any break throughout the afternoon and evening. Everyone commented on how soothing and calming and what a nice touch her music added to our very sad occasion. She rocks!
Juliana came earlier for the sound check. She was part of a short Christmas concert. She played beautifully and also colaborated with a solo on the openning. Very sweet soul and very talented. I will look forward to book her again in the future.
