So Talented!!

Katsumi was an absolute highlight of our wedding day, bringing a level of elegance and emotion that truly made the ceremony unforgettable. Her violin playing was not only technically beautiful but deeply expressive, creating the perfect atmosphere from start to finish. She was professional, punctual, and easy to work with throughout the entire process, helping everything run smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how moving and unique the music was, and we couldn’t agree more. Katsumi’s talent and presence added something truly special to our celebration, and we’re so grateful she was a part of it.

Amazing!!

I was the maid of honor for my sister and I am here to say THANK YOU Katsumi!! You came through for us with literally 2 days notice before the wedding, which I am so grateful for how flexible and willing you were to perform on such short notice. That being said, you were incredible. Your performance as my sister walked down the aisle moved me to tears, and the music during cocktail hour was nothing short of beautiful. I can't thank you enough for what you contributed to my sister and her husband's special day. You are a lifesaver on extremely short notice, and even despite connecting just days before the wedding, you didn't miss a beat. If I could rate you higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

Katsumi is the best at her craft!

Katsumi fitted right in to the event. She was present, made everyone feel at ease and was the highlight of my birthday festivities. You can tell she’s passionate about her craft, it shows as we all watched her played the strings of her violin delivering quality experience and a sense of peace and union without words.
Thank you for mastering such a beautiful gift. Everyone definitely need to witness your art on display. Definitely will be booking Katsumi for all of my events.

Price range: $500 and up

Languages: English

Gig length: 30 - 480 minutes

Insurance: $1,000,000 - Commercial General Liability Insurance

What to expect

After the official booking has been made, I will work together with you to create the music selection / setlist for your beloved one or your guests. Then I check - learn - review the requested music, do the official paperwork if needed ( COI etc.. ) , brush up the performance always, arranging the music if it's more than solo, prepare the music ahead of time, secure and check the travel schedule carefully, keep my health physically & mentally as the best condition, get the event location around 30 minutes before the event, do the sound check, then perform. Sometimes, I have to complete those in the last minutes, but I do.
You can hear live musician's sounds after those listed above have done, finally! Let's enjoy the special moment together!!
