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!

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!

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!!

About

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.
