Joyful violinist / vocalist

Shawn performed at Easter service at our little Tabor Church, in rural Wisconsin. Her violin playing is stellar, along with her soaring voice and beautiful presence. The congregation loved her! She fit right in with the Tabor community.

Shawn played quiet meditative violin music during the prelude.
Then she played 2 Scandinavian songs from “Secret Garden”, with piano accompaniment, during the service.
She also joined in on the closing hymn, “The Goodness of God”, on violin with piano accompaniment, and then blew away the congregation with her strong soaring voice on the final verse. Magnificent. The congregation wasn’t expecting her to sing, so it was a big joyful surprise for the finale.
She then played spirited violin music during the postlude.

It was a wonderful memorable service, and we look forward to Shawn’s violin and voice at a future service. Five stars!

Perfect

From the start Shawn was ideal to work with. She replied timely and kindly. The day of the memorial she arrived right on time and played her beautiful music - just as I ordered. She was also pretty as a picture - dressed in a lovely summer dress with a generous smile and empathetic attitude. It was striking how compassionate she was. She took in my son's memorial table and teared up. Hire this woman and enhance your memory of your event.

An absolute delight to work with

We had such an amazing experience with our violinist, Shawn, for my friend’s proposal. She was incredibly communicative from the beginning, genuinely excited about our vision, and so flexible with all the little changes and adjustments we made along the way. She was easy to work with, professional, and brought such a beautiful energy to the entire moment.

Most importantly, she played beautifully and made the proposal feel so emotional, elegant, and memorable. We are so grateful for her talent and kindness. Thank you so much for helping create such a special memory — I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented violinist for a special event.

Amazing Artist

Shawn was very attentive during the planning phase of my engagement. She communicated timely, effectively and helped guide some of the best songs from Her repertoire. She played beautifully and really made my proposal an unforgettable experience for myself and my Fiancé. Bravo!
