Wend O’Lynn the Fiddler came to entertain our residents at an apartment complex. She was vibrant and entertaining! Great mix of oldies, modern music and even some Irish jigs! We really enjoyed having Wendy and will happily have her come back anytime!!

June 3, 2024Wonderful
I reached out to Wendy to perform at our dad's celebration of life. The booking was easy and the cost was was fair. She arrived early and was easy to talk to. Perky and full of smiles. She checked with us during the celebration a couple times to make sure we were happy with the music see chose and the volume level. It was perfect. She fit right in with the crowd and was a welcome addition by all to the event. We were completely satisfied and hope for the possibility of having her at future events.

April 23, 2024Wendy is Fantastic
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.
