Grace Makes Beautiful Music, Delivers Excellent Service

What can I say that the headline doesn't? Grace has incredible musical talent and impeccable taste in matching her selected music with her events. I had no idea how to hire a violinist in the area we were opening a new-home community, and this service and Ms. Grace made it super simple and worry-free.

As part of her set up, Grace recommended a keyboardist with whom she had previously worked to accompany her. That was the right call. He is just as gifted as Grace, and they played in perfect harmony. Both cool, calm and collected as hundreds of people walked past and around them; the visitors were talking, pointing and laughing but this made no difference to either. The music kept floating into the space and out into the open back patio as though she were playing for herself in a quiet room. Simply unflappable, and just what we needed.

No doubt, I will hire her again for another event in this area!

Ivan the Great

Ivan played at our donor event yesterday and he was wonderful. What a great young man. He is so talented and was just the right person for our event. He received many compliments from our attendees who loved his playing. Ivan came highly recommended and and more than lived up to that recommendation. Can't say enough good things about him.

Wonderful evening of piano music

Ivan Utomo played for three hours, non-stop, of the most beautiful background music for our event. It made for a lovely and elegant party. His musicality and professionalism make him someone I would hire again to play for many different functions.

Expert and Adaptable Musician

Grace did the music for my wedding, and though I did not get a chance to meet with her, my coordinator said she was a pleasure to work with; she showed up on time and was very professional. I enjoyed the fact that Grace was able to take popular songs, and play them in a classical fashion. I could not have been happier with the music. My only complaint was the turnaround time on email communication. As a bride, you have so many things to juggle that you like to have more timely communication with your vendors. With that being said, Grace did follow-up right before the wedding and executed our song choices beautifully.

Beautiful Music, Professional and Accommodating

We contacted Grace on fairly short notice to perform a violin/piano duo for our small wedding ceremony. Our communication in the weeks before the wedding was extremely professional and friendly. She was very accommodating about our chosen musical selections (several well known classical pieces and a modern hymn) and offered good suggestions about the performance and other musical selections. On the day of the wedding they were very punctual and professional. Their music was beautiful and perfect for the setting of the wedding. Many of our guests commented about how the music was such a nice complement to the service. I think the kindness of Grace and Teri comes across in their musical performances and they were very nice to work with before and after the event. The rate was very reasonable given the high quality of their performance and professionalism.
