Hit of the party!!

Sandy was very professional from the start. She was quick to respond to emails, and even FaceTimed us so we could hear her play the songs we were requesting for our Ceremony. She also performed at our Cocktail hour, at which multiple guests and vendors asked me "where did you find her?!" I would highly recommend Sandy for your event.

Wonderful and professional violinist

Sandy played at our ceremony. She arrived well in advance to set up and was extremely professional. Prior to the wedding she worked with me on the prelude and ceremony style. I really enjoyed having her play at our small initiate wedding, she was perfect! Highly recommend! Plays beautifully

Amazing Musician!

Sandy was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly organized and communicative. She was flexible with last minute changes (weather, changes in songs, playing family requests on the spot) and was the star of the show. My family could not say enough about how much they loved her music at our wedding. She provided us with a video chat to get to know us and to determine what we wanted for out wedding. She then learned new piece that we desired to have at our wedding. She maintained contact with us up until the day of the wedding and was very reliable. She has been doing weddings for over 20 years and hasn’t missed one yet! We LOVE her so much!

Wonderful addition to our Wedding!

If you're looking for a violinist to bring the perfect touch of elegance and romance to your wedding, look no further than Sandy. I had the pleasure of having her perform at my wedding and was completely blown away.

She was thorough throughout the entire planning process, and even learned to play the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to! We got to hear her play pieces on FaceTime to see how we liked them and had an extensive list of song choices to sift though to decide on the rest of the ceremony music.

From the moment she began playing, the entire atmosphere of the ceremony was transformed. Her soulful playing brought a tear to the eye of even the most stoic attendee.

Her technical proficiency was absolutely astounding - every note was crisp and clear. But beyond her technical mastery, what truly made her performance special was the passion and emotion she poured into every song. You could tell that she was playing not just because it was her job, but because she was truly invested in making the day unforgettable for us.

Overall, I couldn't recommend Sandy more highly. If you're looking for a skilled and talented musician to set the tone for your wedding, she is the perfect choice.

We loved Sandy as our wedding violinist!

Sandy performed as a solo violinist for our wedding in Asheville last month, and it was as beautiful as we expected. She performed pre-ceremony music, as well as the ceremony music, and it was a perfect complement to the events of the day. She received so many compliments from our guests for her performances! During the planning process, she facetimed us a couple times to perform us music and provide us with a one-on-one consultation to make sure we had our dream music selection. We would recommend Sandy for any wedding event you may have!

About

I am a unique performer, able to seamlessly play popular rock, movie music, to classical and Celtic music. My shows are varied and unexpected. Passionate about music, I am always adding to my repertoire and play what is needed for the event. I work with you on your specific preferences.

Background:
Sandy Herrault has been a violinist since the age of 7, when she first fell in love with the instrument. Dedicated to the violin, she quickly developed skills making her an outstanding player in local Philadelphia youth orchestras. After majoring in violin performance, she went on to other career choices, but always kept the violin central to her life, learning to play Irish fiddle, and other styles. In 1999, she helped establish the well-known Irish rock band, Celtic Soul, and began performing full-time.

After years performing at festivals and venues with several Irish and Rock bands, she launched her solo career, and now plays regular shows throughout the Charlotte and Asheville areas. She collaborates with other Irish and classical musicians. You can expect a passionate performance that flows easily between genres; Classical, Irish, Pop/Rock, classic well-known tunes and original music.

Additional booking notes

My violin has a pickup and I can bring a PA system to a larger venue or outdoor venue.
