We hired Alicia to play music during our wedding ceremony. As a very particular and organized bride, I sent her music and timing instructions which she followed and played absolutely perfectly. Thank you SO much for the communication and for making our special day even more special.

Alicia Randisi-Hooker played for my daughter's wedding. She performed beautifully and everyone loved her. She helped us find appropriate music and learned new music that we wanted played. Communication was excellent. She was on time, very professional and lovely to work with.

I cannot recommend Alicia enough! She was the most beautiful part of my wedding day. Having her play meant so much to me because she was also my private cello teacher growing up, and after 12 years it was such an honor to see her again. Her performance was absolutely breathtaking—every note was heartfelt and elegant, creating the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony. She brought not only incredible talent but also a deep sense of warmth and familiarity that made my day even more special.

Additional booking notes
While we are flexible and want to reach a wide audience, we also have a few basic needs! The following things will help us give you our very best!
For strings only, it's vitally important to have some sort of canopy or cover for outdoor events, or a shelter in case of inclement weather. Fine wooden string instruments cannot be exposed to the elements, including direct hot, bright sunlight, which can damage the varnish and cause tuning problems which can impact the way we sound.
For performances with piano, we need a well-maintained instrument that has been recently tuned in order to sound our best for you.
