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!

10/5 Stars

Anthony was absolutely amazing. He made our day so special. Anthony was early, got all set up, and played more than we had asked! Anthony has such a God given talent of playing the violin but also just such a joyous presence. Anthony even accommodated when I (accidentally) last minute asked him to play through a moment of worship so we could all sing and give glory to God. Anthony is amazing. I would recommend him for any and everything. Anthony, Ben and I love you so much and are so grateful for all you did for us this weekend. ❤️😊🙌🏼

It’s giving Cinema

Anthony was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, I told him I wanted full-on Bridgerton vibes and he absolutely delivered and then some. He paired beautifully with a cellist, and together they created the most romantic, elegant atmosphere that honestly felt like something straight out of a period drama.

Every moment they played was flawless. Walking down the aisle felt surreal, and so many of our guests kept asking about his music all night. Anthony didn’t just meet expectations, he elevated the entire experience and made it unforgettable.

If you’re even thinking about live strings for your wedding, book Anthony. You will not regret it.

Perfect touch to the ceremony-Violinist

Anthony was absolutely amazing. His communication and effort to play all the songs we requested was above and beyond. The guest truly loved the elegant touch and his talent to play with love and passion.

The Best!!!

Anthony was truly one of the most special parts of our wedding day. From start to finish, he was an absolute dream to work with—so communicative, easy to talk to, and genuinely invested in making everything perfect.

He took the time to learn new songs just for us, which meant more than I can even put into words. That level of care and effort is so rare, and it made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and unique.

And his talent…WOW. He is unbelievably gifted. We received so many compliments throughout the day about how amazing he was, and he created the most romantic, fun, and memorable atmosphere. It truly elevated the entire experience.

I honestly wish I had another event just so I could hire him again. If you’re even thinking about booking Anthony—do it. He is beyond incredible, and I feel so lucky he was part of our day

Phenomenal

Anthony was phenomenal. He was extremely communicative leading up to our wedding day; extremely patient with my husband and I (because we waited to the last minute to choose ceremony songs); he was early and brought all his own equipment; he stitched a song for me to walk out it and it was PERFECT!! He was also very kind and sweet and helped my friends and family before the ceremony when my venue dropped the ball. He also wished my husband and I congratulations before leaving to go home. 12/10 would recommend. He was amazing!!

About

Hi! I have been a musician since I was seven years old, starting with piano. Then I learned the violin and guitar, along with every other string instrument except for the harp! I have played at several weddings and events and would love to play at yours! Please reach out if you have any questions.

Additional booking notes

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

For violin, I have my own speaker that I can hookup to.
