Awesome!!!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Luigi, a talented violinist, for a very special occasion - my proposal! From the moment I booked him, I knew I was in good hands. Luigi exceeded all my expectations in every way possible. His professionalism, kindness, and exceptional talent made our special day truly unforgettable.

Luigi arrived early, which allowed us to go over the details and make any last-minute adjustments. His energy was infectious, and he brought an extra layer of joy to an already joyous day. His violin playing was exquisite, and he had a keen sense of how to enhance the emotional impact of the moment.

What struck me most about Luigi was his kindness and willingness to go above and beyond. He was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, making sure everything was perfect for our special moment. His flexibility was also impressive, as he was open to playing a wide range of songs and adjusting his performance to fit our needs.

Luigi's appearance was also noteworthy - he was very well-dressed and added a touch of elegance to the occasion. His passion for music was evident in every note he played, and his talent shone through in every performance.

Working with Luigi was a breeze, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their special day. Whether it's a proposal, wedding, or any other celebration, Luigi's exceptional talent, kindness, and professionalism make him the perfect choice.

In short, Luigi is a true professional, and his violin playing brought an extra layer of romance and joy to our proposal. I'm so grateful to have had him be a part of our special day, and I know that future customers will be just as delighted with his services as we were.

*Highly recommended!*

About

Born in Romania, raised in Italy and educated by the best violin teacher of the Music's Conservatory, Giuseppe Verdi of Milan, Italy.

I had the great opportunity to study at the prestigious Giuseppe Verdi's Music's Conservatory of Milan, Italy, with Itzack Perlman's classmate, Christian Anzinger. Both students of Ivan Galamian, the best Juilliard School's violin teacher that has ever existed in music history after Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's father.

Finally, my goal is to spread happiness and create good memories for people so that I can participate in making the world a better place by performing the violin.
