Solo violinist for wedding ceremony

We are so glad we had Mary Alice perform all music at our wedding ceremony. Easy to work with, was able to do all the songs I asked for and all of our guests loved her. Will definitely hire her again if I ever need a solo violinist again. Highly recommend. Very professional as well.

Beautiful performance

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect touch to our ceremony than to have Mary Alice perform throughout. From booking until the end of our event, she was fantastic to work with and made sure our questions were answered and our needs met. She is an amazing violinist and we are beyond lucky she was a part of our wedding! Thank you :)

Wonderful to work with

Mary Alice performed at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend working with her! Communication was stress free, I simply gave her the information and requested music and she showed up without any need for direction. Her performance was wonderful and everything was very professional. I can't imagine the evening without her.

Beautiful Holiday Music by String Quartet

We had an event at the Walker Skyline Room and this string quartet was absolutely wonderful. Everyone showed up on time, the holiday music they played was beautiful and everyone was mesmerized by their performance over a cocktail hour. I think they left with 2 weddings to play for in the very near future!

Perfect for our wedding!

I am so grateful to Mary Alice and the cellist she brought along for the beautiful music at our wedding ceremony on 10/20/17 in Shakopee. Booking her was very easy, and she was very communicative and flexible regarding the songs I requested and the plan for our ceremony. She suggested adding a cellist to the booking, and I appreciated that suggestion. She and the cellist arrived early and played as guests arrived, and I didn't have to do a thing. I sent someone to check in with them, and he said that they were all set and already playing! What a relief :-) She played exactly what I wanted as we walked down the aisle, and for our recessional, and continued playing until all the guests had left. To be honest, I never had a chance to meet her in person--- which I took as a good thing! Her email communications were quick, clear, and professional. I received many compliments from our guests on the music, and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend her, and would book her in the future!

Amazing Artist!

We contacted Mary for a violin and cello duo for our wedding ceremony. They were very talented. They were able to play all our requests even on short notice. She was very responsive when I had questions throughout all the wedding planning, something I truly appreciated during a busy time! Their prices were very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a violinist! Thank you Mary and Rosa, you made our day very special!

Backyard Wedding Ceremony/Reception

Mary Alice Hutton and other musicians were well-prepared and adaptable to a the chaotic environment that exists right before a wedding. They responded well to a last minute playlist change, and read the ceremony and reception perfectly in terms of volume, pace, and song selection. They dressed professionally and we received many compliments about the ambiance they created for the afternoon. Well-recommended!

About

Mary Alice Hutton is known for her beautiful tone and her passion for the violin. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Mary Alice began studying the violin at the age of five. She was inspired to learn after seeing famous soloist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg perform on Sesame Street. Mary Alice attended the University of Minnesota studying with Sally O’Reilly and received her Bachelor's and Master's degree. She has won several competitions in the Minneapolis area, most recently second place in the 2018 Thursday Musical competition. Ms. Hutton has also been featured as a soloist with multiple ensembles throughout the state of Minnesota. Most recently she participated in the New York String Orchestra Seminar (NYSOS) giving performances at Carnegie Hall. She has performed for more than ten years playing solo and chamber music for private events, including many weddings, recording sessions, church services and parties throughout the metro area. Excel Energy Center, Dakota Jazz Club, The State Fair Grandstand, The Varsity Theater, and The Icehouse are just some of the many venues where she has performed. Mary Alice is also an active teacher in the Twin Cities area. She is on faculty at Sarah Jane’s Music School in NE Minneapolis and also manages her own private studio.

I'll work with you to create the perfect musical environment for your event! I'm an affordable musician in the Twin-Cities and can play any and all styles of music that you would like. I am happy to and often do collaborate with additional instrumentalists if needed.
