December 16, 2025Elegant, Professional, and Exceptionally Talented Violinist
We had an excellent experience with Thiago. His communication leading up to the event was seamless, he arrived right on time, and he was a pleasure to work with. Most importantly, his violin performance was stunning and added such an elegant, memorable touch to our event. Highly recommend.

October 29, 2025Thiago performed better than I could have imagined!!
We hired Thiago to perform during the ceremony of our wedding and he did such an amazing job. I really cannot recommend him enough. People started tearing up as soon as he started playing, it really added to the magic of the ceremony. The music was beautiful and he was so incredibly kind following the event. He went out of his way to wish us a long and happy marriage.

July 5, 2025Amazing musician and loves what he does!
Thiago was such a wonderful element to our wedding day! He’s incredibly talented, kind, and passionate about what he does. He created such a warm, inviting, and romantic atmosphere for our wedding. Even though he’s was a soloist for our ceremony, his performance brought so much depth and soul to our special moments with our loved ones. He was able to accommodate a couple special requests and worked seamlessly with my coordinator and officiant. Do not hesitate to book him!
