Hired as violinist

Wilson did a great job at our wedding! He played the songs exactly as we discussed. Additionally, he filled waiting time with beautiful music that we had not discussed. I had multiple guests comment on what a great job he did. I would certainly hire him for any other event that might arise.

Fantastic

Wilson gave a phenomenal performance on the violin at my wedding. Due to circumstances beyond our control our wedding started off later than originally planned. Wilson was understanding, professional during the whole ordeal. He played beautiful music that our guest truly enjoyed, so much so that I passed on his contact so they could hire him for their future events. He is extremely talented and you can tell he put in many hours mastering his craft. It would be wise to book him if you get the opportunity. I can’t thank him enough for making our wedding so special. There is not any song he can’t play well.

What a wonderful experience!

Wilson is awesome. He is passionate about what he does and it shows. His song list is long enough to please just about anyone. Everything was easy to setup and he was an absolute pleasure to have in our wedding. I had him playing during ceremony and cocktail hour. Everyone loved the ambiance that he was able to set. Highly recommended!
