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!

Wedding Violinist

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!

Just Hire Him already!!!

Anthony could not have been more easier to work. He played violin at our wedding ceremony and was amazing!! Everyone after the ceremony was talking about how amazing he was. I truly think he made the ceremony!! He never missed a note and it was perfect. I also found him on tik tok and was hesitant to hire at first, but he is legit and definitely the man that should be playing in your Wedding!!

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.

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.
