Overview

Hi! I am a string musician with 24 years of experience. I started playing piano off and on when I was 7 then learned other instruments such as the violin, cello, string bass, and my favorite, the guitar. I started playing the guitar when I was 14 and have been playing every day since then!

The absolute best

From our very first conversation to the final moments of cocktail hour, Anthony was an absolute pleasure to work with! I still can’t get over how he took my playlist and transformed my favorite songs into something so magical. It truly felt like a fairytale! He brought every song to life in a way I never could have imagined, turning music I already loved into memories I’ll cherish forever.

Anthony was such a joy to work with, and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful addition to our wedding day. If you’re on the fence about hiring a violinist for your wedding, this is your sign to book Anthony! You won’t regret it!

Best decision ever!

Anthony was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, it was him or no one, and somehow he still exceeded every expectation I had. His energy on our wedding day was exactly what I needed, and the music was absolutely perfect. We wanted our cocktail hour to feel fun and us with a mix of hip hop, R&B, and pop, and he completely nailed it. Our guests LOVED him, we received so many compliments throughout the night. Anthony brought such a special energy to our day, and I genuinely cannot recommend him enough.

Amazing

Anthony was so helpful leading up to our wedding, he went over and beyond just playing beautiful music on the violin for us. He is responsive and very nice. He played beautifully and made the whole time feel like a dream! Thank you Anthony for all the help. We would definitely suggest him and would hire him again for any events.

Anthony was AMAZING! He literally learned an entire song for me so I could walk down the aisle to it. I would recommend him to anyone!

All I use is an acoustic guitar with a wired/wireless bluetooth speaker and I will sometimes have a mic for a singer.
