I feel so lucky to have had Amy as our violinist at our wedding ceremony. My husband and I got married at an outdoor venue, and Amy was provided her own portable sound setup. She was so accommodating of my last-minute requests, and charged a very fair rate. She was so easy to work with during the time leading up to the wedding
She played an acoustic Taylor Swift song as I walked down the aisle, and she played classic music during the pre-ceremony seating, and during the rest of the processional. We loved her music and I really enjoyed working with her. Her music really elevated our ceremony and it was a joy talking with her during the planning process.

Amy played for my wedding ceremony and for the appetizer hour. The music during the ceremony was beautiful and ethereal. She was wonderful with reading the room and making the music fit the flow of the procession and the ceremony. I am SO glad that we found her!

Amy did an amazing job! We couldn't be happier with her performance at our cliffside wedding. She added just the right touch and played Christina Perri's 1000 years and Bruno Mars Marry You, as well as other classics.
