Overview

I've played the violin for 20 years, and I've done events for 10 of those years.

I perform for weddings, receptions, cocktail hours, engagements, formal dinners, birthday parties, corporate events, funerals, and everything in between.

Over the years, I have earned recognition in state competitions, led as concertmaster at Southern Virginia University, and performed multiple solo recitals throughout my career. I'm excited to make your event one guests will never forget!

What to expect

From the first message, I strive to make the entire booking and performance process seamless. You can request a date on my website: (link hidden) From there I will contact you within 24 hours to discuss the details of your event (including any song requests), and finally I will send over a contract. Then leave the rest to me! I show up 30 min before the event to ensure a stress free setup, and a magical event. I look forward to working with you!

About

Performing is my absolute favorite part of playing the violin! I am classically trained, and I have been playing for nearly 20 years.

I have spent years cultivating a deep, emotional, and classic sound that permeates any event hall. I bring this same rich sound to any genre I play whether it be classical or pop music. I look forward to enhancing your event with these characteristics!

Additional booking notes

I bring everything I need with me. All I ask is enough space for myself and a stand for setup. I do have specific temperature requirements: I cannot play in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. For any extreme weather (sun, snow, rain) I ask that you provide a 5x5 covering. Please let me know if you have any specific requests or questions, I am happy to do my best to work with you!
