Wendy is fantastic.
We hold an annual haunted conference for 130 people, and Wendy played for our Welcome Mixer. What a wonderful, dynamic performance. She somehow manages to provide haunting, beautiful violin music, but enables the participants to chat at their tables while she entertains…and entertain she does.
Our attendees were in awe. People just walking by were in awe. Her musical competency, her stage and strolling presence while performing, her careful attention to delivering exactly what we wanted, and then far exceeding our expectations was so professional.
But the ultimate arbiter is our attendees, and our attendees LOVED the performance. It actually set such a perfect tone, the rest of the weekend flowed like magic. Well, it wasn’t magic. It was Wendy. Really, whether you’re in business, or hosting a social or Organizational event. Retain Wendy, explain to her what you want, put her out front, and watch the magic happen.
You’re welcome.
PS…Wendy also provided the sound system, which perfectly filled the event space, and saved us the cost and hassle of providing/managing sound assets.
Wend O'Lynn is always a go to when I'm booking performers! Her sets are always fun and engaging! You can't go wrong booking Wendy!!
Wendy has performed for the Verona Downtown Farmers Market approximately once a month for 2 seasons. She has also played at my indoor markets. Her music is lively and wonderful and I always look forward to the days she will be playing. Wendy is always on time, prepared, and enthusiastic. She plays for the entire time slotted (with a short break) and never complains about fatiguing. All ages love to hear her play and she engages the audience well. She is VERY talented!
We knew when we asked you to perform at our ceremony that your music would be a highlight of the evening, but we couldn't have anticipated what a perfect complement your performance would be for the happiness and joy we wanted to project. Thank you ever so much for providing an enchanting musical backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour--a moveable musical feast.
Response from Wend O'Lynn the Fiddler:
Thank you so much, Barbara! Your event was beautiful, and I was truly honored to be a part of it!
We saw Wendy at Monona Farmers Market and instantly were delighted by her awesome talent and engaging personality. We invited her to our Pumpkin farm for the afternoon. She was so talented, both acoustic and electric violins. Truly excellent- I’m sure any genre of music she can perform beautifully! I’ve already asked her back for next year! Thank you Wendy!
Response from Wend O'Lynn the Fiddler:
Deb, thank you for the kind words, and for inviting me to perform at your beautiful pumpkin farm! It was such a lovely setting for fiddle music, and nothing makes me happier than seeing people of all ages dancing to tunes on a Fall day! Looking forward to the next time!
