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.

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 :)

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.

I hired Mary Alice for our wedding ceremony and she did an amazing job. She took song requests and played pieces she already knew, and it turned out perfect. I would hire her again in a heart beat.

Thank you, Melissa! It was a joy to be a part of your wedding day. Congratulations!

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!

Thanks, Abby! We were honored to be a part of your ceremony!
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!

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!

Violinist

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!
