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.

Response from Patrick Monnius, Strings:
Thank you so much for the review, Sarah! I had such a pleasant time working with you and am so glad I got to be a part of this special night. I hope I have the chance to work with you again!
Patrick was very professional and amazing.
Violinist
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!
