October 12, 2022The Real Deal
Alex and his fellow musicians are the real deal. Being used to a high quality of music from my church (but most of my church connections being unavailable on a Monday) I was looking around for a professional string quartet for an event and came across Gig Salad. I had several groups write me on here, but Alex's videos were the best so I took a chance--and was NOT disappointed! The quality of their performance was top notch and our guests at the event raved about them during and afterward. They are also a very professional group, having arrived well before the event to test the acoustics of the venue room and find the best spot. Would 100% hire them again.

December 12, 2018Great performance by a great musician!
Sasha and his partner were a perfect fit for our holiday party. Our guests weren't exactly the dancing crowd so we were primarily looking for upscale background music. The duo of violin and cello was a perfect fit. They did a great mix of holiday tunes, classical music and pop. Everyone was very impressed.

April 8, 2026A talented and amazing violinist.
My grandmother passed away recently and I wanted to do something unique and hire a violinist to perform on the day she would be buried. This was my first time booking a violinist, and Alexandr was so incredibly kind, understanding and professional. Alexandr's performance was absolutely beautiful and moving. His incredible talent brought a sense of peace and comfort in such a difficult and emotional time, and everyone was deeply touched. I am so grateful, and thank you for reaching out. You made this an unforgettable experience for me. I highly recommend him for any special occasion and would gladly book him again in the future. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it with all my heart.
