June 1, 2026The best part of my wedding
SJ was the best decision I made in terms of my wedding. His music was beautiful and he came with ample time to get settled in and ready to play. I can’t thank him enough for making our day so special!!! Book him- you won’t regret it!

March 26, 2026Fantastic Musician with Great Communication
We truly couldn’t have chosen a better violinist for our wedding. His musical talent was exceptional, he has incredible range and his playing has so much depth and warmth. From the very beginning, he was professional and very easy to communicate with. His experience made the whole process feel effortless.
On the day of the event, he handled every unexpected twist with calm confidence and grace, never missing a beat. It was clear he genuinely cared about making everything just right, our requested songs that weren't on his playlist sounded great!
His performance didn’t just complement the day; it elevated it. He was an absolute pleasure, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him.

November 11, 2025Exceptional Violinist Who Elevates Any Event
I hired S.J. Violin for my 70th birthday celebration, and he exceeded all expectations! He arrived impeccably dressed, was professional, kind, and truly gifted. His performance captivated every guest—many are still talking about it days later. An exceptional musician and entertainer. Highly recommended!

October 26, 2025Our Halloween wedding party
Sam was absolutely amazing. If we could give 10 stars we would. He learned 2 requested songs from Glass animals and he came through for my sister’s Halloween wedding backyard party. He was promptly on time and jumped right in all the craziness going on set up and very professional.
