Olivia is a classically trained musician with a Bachelor's of Music in Music Education. Available to play for weddings, corporate parties, religious services, etc. Is willing to sub/work with a string quartet as violinist or violist.
Music plays an integral part in making your event memorable. I would be honored to be the musical choice for your event in the greater San Antonio area!
Olivia played at my wedding ceremony and it was absolutely gorgeous! She was very helpful throughout the whole process with the paperwork and always quick to respond. Thank you so much for making our special day feel so elegant and magical!
Everything I read about her is true! I couldn't have put it better myself. Professional, personable, and reliable! Also very flexible to any last minute changes and very patient. I highly recommend her!!
My wedding coordinator lucked out and found Olivia while searching online for local violinists. Olivia met my fiance and me at Starbucks for a free consultation where she let us listen to one of her performance pieces. She was patient and gracious even as my fiance and I argued with each other over whether or not to pay extra so she could play at our rehearsal. After that meeting, she stayed in touch to remind me about payments and confirm dates and times. She was the first to arrive at our rehearsal and didn't complain even though we started very late. She played beautifully and promptly arrived the next day to play during our wedding ceremony. Olivia is extremely talented. She is also reassuring to the point that I only picked out the song I would be walking down the aisle to. She chose the rest, and it was perfect. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone who wants to add elegance to their special event for a great rate.
I hired Olivia to play several pieces of music for my wedding. We meet prior to the wedding and we discussed all that was involved. My wedding had an nontraditional entrance and exit to the chapel and Olivia really understood what we were trying to achieve. She was just spectacular. She was on time and dressed perfectly for both the Rehearsal and the Ceremony. She has such a pleasant personality and always had a smile on her face. She played beautifully and we were so happy to have her at our wedding. My mother who had never meet her prior to the Big Day of the wedding commented saying "Olivia has such a gentle and kind spirit" She was perfect!!!
Olivia showed up early to our wedding, which is an obvious plus - especially since it was out of town for her and in an area she wasn't familiar with :)
She responded very quickly to all email and phone correspondance throughout our communication, and was very pleasant to work with! I was so overwhelmed with wedding planning, that I decided to leave the decision-making up to her and she chose beautiful music for the wedding. I did want to have some choice in the bridal processional, but I informed her that I had no idea where to start looking, so she happily emailed me a few pieces to peruse and choose from and I found one that was perfect! Olivia's rates are very reasonable, and she is very professional and has organized paperwork and contracts that make it easy for everyone to understand each other's expectations. I couldn't say enough good things about her!!! Thanks Olivia :)
We were very lucky to hire Olivia to play violin for our wedding!
My wife and I contacted Olivia, as well as several other musicians, to interview to play for our wedding and cocktail hour. From the beginning Olivia was THE most professional person we talked to, from email and phone conversations.
She answered all our questions very promptly via email and we set up a meeting over the phone for her husband and us to meet at Starbucks. At that meeting we discussed songs and compositions. She has a small fee to learn and/or transpose specialty songs but well worth it!
She had a contract, which is necessary, and was very clear on what was included, arrival time, and required needs.
As for the wedding day...
She showed up on time, assembled properly and played amazing! The songs were all played beautifully in proper timing. Please provide ceremony outline with all songs and timing.
She then moved out to our cocktail hour to play for approximately 60 minutes while we took pictures. We left the song choice up to her but felt comfortable on her professionalism.
We have no hesitation referring Olivia for any future weddings or special events.
Thanks Olivia for being part of our special day!
Olivia played for my daughter's wedding. She was very professional, on time and appropriately dressed. We spoke several times on the phone, but due to distance and timing we were unable to meet in person prior to the event. After conversing over the phone and through emails, I had a good feeling about her and trusted her judgement in selecting the remaining music pieces to fill the time slot. The wedding was delayed due to rain, but Olivia worked with us to help make the ceremony beautiful. It was one of the few items in the wedding plans that was almost effortless. Thanks!!!!!
My now fiancé asked Olivia to play before he proposed to me. Olivia played beautifully and was willing to cooperate with him. She took the job personal and more than just a gig. She worked with my fiancé and friends to make her surprise entrance spectacular... If we need a violinist or can recommend her she will be the first person to call
Olivia played at my wedding this past Sunday. Before, the ceremony she set up an appointment with my husband and I, to the meeting she came prepared and helped us pick out songs and provided good suggestions for the ceremony. At the wedding, she arrived with enough time to set up, and she played beautifully the songs that we picked. We enjoyed the violin at the wedding and the service provided by Olivia.
Price Range: $100 and up
Gig Length: 30 - 180 minutes
I am committed to offering professional service and am organized, timely, and prepared. I typically do not attend rehearsals but arrange instead for a music consultation meeting with the event planner months in advance. During this meeting, I gather all detailed information necessary (musical selections, timing, cues, etc.) for planning the musical portions of your event and present a legally binding contract. Depending on your event type, you can expect me to arrive between 15-45 minutes before the start of your event. I do require that one straight-back, armless chair be provided for my performance at your event.
