Lara played for a few hours at our wedding. She was AMAZING to work with. She learned or already knew our requested songs, and several of our guests told us it was the perfect touch to our backyard celebration. I would recommend Lara a million times over. She was wonderful!

Response from Lara Madden Violin:
Thank you so much!! Lovely to meet you and your partner.

Lara was super easy to work with and was such an amazing and gifted violinist. There were so many changes to my wedding ceremony and Lara just rolled with all the changes. We provided a list of songs we wanted her to play and she delivered! Most of the songs we asked her to play were contemporary/modern songs which sounded great on the violin. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Lara for your event.
