Phenomenal Performance!

Having Priya Dupree as our wedding violinist was an absolute delight! Her performance was nothing short of phenomenal, captivating everyone present. The guests thoroughly enjoyed her music, and she seamlessly coordinated with our DJ, who later raved about their collaboration. Priya's talent was so impressive that guests were asking for her contact information. What truly stood out was her thoughtful gesture of personally greeting me before leaving—it was a lovely touch that made our day even more special. I highly recommend Priya for any event where exceptional talent and professionalism are desired!

Professional, Talented and Flexible

My review is late but I had to circle back to complete it. I hired Priya for a wake. She was more than on time as she accommodated a last minute time change with grace. Her skills on the violin were & are impressive as she played all requested music and then some without sheet music. Set up was quick & she was very respectful during the service. She absolutely brought a light to a sad occasion. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this type of entertainment!

Priya was the highlight of my wedding!

I want to get married again just so I can hear Priya play! Priya was the violinist at my 11/11/21 wedding and she was unbelievable! My guests could not stop raving about her and though I, as the bride didn’t have the pleasure of enjoying her play as much as my guests. I got so much joy re-watching my wedding videos with her in it. I spent a sizable chunk of the day after my wedding giving my guests Priya’s contact info so they can book her as well.

Thank you Priya!

Fantastic

Not only is Priya is an exceptionally talented musician, but she had the best playlist and was a great communicator. We loved working with her and she really set the mood for our baby shower!
