Jess was fabulous.

We hired Jess to perform for our immediate family at our 50th anniversary dinner. She was easy to communicate with and she played all our requested songs. It was a lovely event, and we were all impressed with her talent and professionalism. I would hire Jess again.

Wedding Music

We hired Jess for our wedding to play music during the ceremony and cocktail hour. She is extremely talented at violin, and even worked on creating backing tracks for the songs I wanted played for our ceremony! She was very communicative during the planning process and when I was able to meet her on the wedding day she was also incredibly sweet and kind. I definitely would recommend her for any special event!

The best family dinner party!

Jess performed a wide variety of requested songs, from Smash Mouth’s All-Star to Elvis and Woody Guthrie, and much more. My family loved it, and we’ll definitely invite her to another event in the future. This was my first time using gigsalad.com, and I feel like it was a huge success at our home. She also wore a very nice dress and was very kind. The younger kids loved her! One of them now wants to learn to play the violin, and Jess mentioned after the party on gigsalad DM that she also offers violin lessons! I told my sister to encourage their interests, and hopefully she will reach out to Jess! Thanks!!

Jess was awesome

We hired Jess to play at my husband’s memorial service. She was so easy to work with and answered any questions quickly.
Because I was planning the service from out of state I was thankful when she took control and coordinated with the soloist and our church. She played the violin beautifully and with my husband’s favorite church hymns it was a great comfort . She also
Is a kind loving person. Hire her no question. Alice Bakke

Jess is incredible!

I decided on a last minute violinist to play at my wedding ceremony and Jess did amazing. Very good communication with her and she quickly learned a song in Portuguese that I wanted played. I’m glad we hired her for our special day!

About

Jess Wang is a professional violinist based in the Twin Cities area. She performs for weddings, proposals, private events, corporate events, church services, and recording sessions. Her repertoire includes classical music, romantic pieces, wedding favorites, pop covers, and custom selections. Siyun is known for creating elegant, heartfelt, and memorable live music experiences, and she works closely with clients to choose music that fits each occasion.

Additional booking notes

For most events, I only need a small, safe performance space and enough lighting to see my music clearly.
For indoor events, I can perform acoustically in small or medium-sized spaces. For larger venues, outdoor events, or events with background noise, light amplification may be helpful. If the client or venue has a microphone or sound system available, I am happy to coordinate in advance.

Influences and inspiration

My musical background comes from classical violin training, chamber music, orchestra, and solo performance. I have been influenced by the expressive sound of classical violinists, the close communication of chamber music, and the emotional atmosphere that live music can bring to special moments.

As a performer, I am inspired by music that feels sincere, elegant, and personal. For weddings, proposals, and private events, I enjoy combining classical pieces, romantic melodies, film music, and modern pop covers to create a warm and memorable experience for each client.

My goal is not only to play beautifully, but also to understand the feeling of the event and help make the moment more meaningful through music.
