Wedding Reception

Overview

I perform on both electric and acoustic violin and pretty much shape-shift into whatever the event needs. Whether it’s soulful and intimate or high-energy and dancey, the goal is always the same: to elevate the atmosphere and give people that “wait… I’ve never heard a violin do that before” feeling. I improvise across genres, play off the energy of the room, and create a performance that feels exciting, modern, and memorable.

Perfection.

My husband and I hired Mikaila to play the violin at our wedding ceremony in Central Park. It was a scorchingly hot day, and our wedding coordinator was a little disorganized, but Mikaila took it all in stride and was a consummate professional. We worked together on the set list and timing of the ceremony, and everything could not have worked out more perfectly. She even went overtime when our ceremony ran long. Not to mention that she played beautifully….10/10 no notes.

Amazing Violinist for Engagement Party

Mikaila was absolutely wonderful to work with for our engagement party. From the beginning, she completely understood the vision I had for the music and translated it into the perfect setlist. She was very organized, communicative, professional, and thoughtful throughout the planning process, which made everything feel effortless. On the day of the event, her playing was beautiful and added such an elegant atmosphere to the celebration. She also handled the flow of the event seamlessly and was an absolute pleasure to have there.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented violinist who is not only an amazing musician, but also genuinely wonderful to work with. She helped make the day feel so special and I’m very grateful we found her!

Classiest touch to your wedding ceremony

As an Experience pro in the event works, I can say that working with Mikaila shows with her true passion as a Violinist. We had used her for a ceremony more than once for our clients weddings with our team at Constant Entertainment. She is now a part of the family and will be worth your investment to enhance your event. Highly recommend.
