A benefit from working with me is definitely my versatility and willingness to fit whatever your needs may be!

Terrific solo performance for a birthday celebration .

Wow 🤩 what a great evening! Booked Patrick play a birthday celebration for a special lady(30+Years Cellist for the Shoals Symphony). I gave him general direction and he: was on time and set up a cozy corner of the venue; selected the music base on my general directions; emailed me samples of the pieces; upon arrival worked well with venue (Gunrunner Bar: Florence, AL); explained and set up each piece during the performance ; even printed up programs! He carried on detailed music conversations with the birthday girl, the played additional 3 pieces. Way, way exceeded all my expectations!! You should hire this guy, he is an top notch professional!!

Excellent and exceedingly professional violin/violist!

I booked Patrick for a last minute event I was hosting he was the highlight of the evening!
Patrick not only provided beautiful music, but was a pleasure to work with! I wasn’t sure what kind of music or songs I wanted played at my dinner, but Patrick was very patience and easily communicated what kind of music he could provide and I couldn’t have been happier with the selection. He played a variety of classical and pop music for my party, and all my guests loved him. Incredibly professional and I hope to hire him again. Responded very quickly to all of my questions, and provided an evening of fantastic music at short notice.

Wonderful violinist!

Patrick played for my wedding as part of a string trio he organized. He was familiar with all the pieces I wanted played, and was very quick to respond to my messages. The trio showed up right on time, were nicely dressed, and played beautifully. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!

Wedding ceremony 07/25/21

Patrick was amazing and openly communicated throughout our entire wedding process. Having a violinist at our wedding was a sentimental way for us to celebrate. We had to reschedule due to Covid, and he worked with us when we had to change the date. He was able to play our requests without any issues. He was also very affordable and reliable. It was also very hot and humid that day, and he was a champ. I highly recommend Patrick for any event.

Wedding

Was the perfect touch to the most perfect day! I gave him some creative space because I didn’t know what I wanted except to walk down the aisle to... and it couldn’t have been better! Literally so happy. Definitely book him!

Patrick was great!

We hired Patrick to play for our wedding ceremony. I didn't get to meet him in person, but he was nice and friendly when we chatted on the phone. He was even able to play a certain song we wanted for the processional. He was on time and played beautifully. All my guest said he was great. Made my ceremony extra special.

Wonderful Wedding Trio

Patrick and his trio did a wonderful job at our wedding. They played beautiful classical music for our ceremony and even played fun music for our grandkids. It's not every day you hear a string trio play "Baby Got Back"! They made the evening both elegant and fun. We will definitely hire him again!

Wonderful musician and person!

Patrick not only is a wonderful violinist, guitarist and vocalist he is a very dependable and caring person.
He made a 1 1/2 hour trip to my daughter's wedding venue several months ahead of time. He played some at that visit. It was beautiful!! Not only was he scheduled to play the violin during the wedding ceremony, he put together a medley of songs to play and sing for the reception dances. He always responded promptly to my e-mails, phone calls and texts.
Unfortunately the wedding date had to be postponed. However, we really hope Patrick will be available when the new date is set. He is the perfect person for the event!
