October 22, 2026Sophie was so kind, responsive, and wonderful to work with! She helped arrange a violin and piano duo with Che Brown for our wedding, and they were both incredibly talented! She had a wide repertoire available and they even learned new pieces for us from our favorite video game, Stardew Valley, which created the perfect balance of whimsy and uniqueness of us as a couple. The music was such a special touch, and we couldn’t have asked for a better duo for our perfect day!

April 19, 2026A few weeks before my wedding, my original musician had to pull out of playing, so I was devastated thinking it would be too late to find someone else to play. Enter Sophie!! She was so sweet and sooo reasonably priced - I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to work with her!
My husband is a massive Doctor Who fan and I am a massive Avatar the Last Airbender fan, and Sophie had no problem learning and playing songs from these shows for us to walk down the aisle to with such short notice. I was having a nervous breakdown walking down the aisle (not a fan of being the center of attention lol), so I wasn't truly able to listen while she was playing, but my husband and so many of our guests came up to me afterwards to tell me how beautiful Sophie played and how much it elevated the ceremony!
I will recommend Sophie over and over again - thank you, Sophie, for making my special day so magical!!! <3

Price range: Starts at $200
For solo performances, I am on acoustic or electric violin with backing tracks. If you’re interested in an ensemble, I can perform with my string quartet/trio as well as a duo with guitar, cello, piano, or harp.
I have a library of over 300 songs including Bridgerton-style pop, jazz, classic rock, country, and Disney. I will work with you to plan your program/setlist and am happy to accommodate any special requests!
