Sophia was amazing to work with for my church wedding ceremony. From the moment I reached out she was very responsive and honest. Her pricing was more than fair. I was in a pinch and needed a musician for my Church wedding ceremony, it was so helpful that she’s played at Catholic wedding ceremonies before. We bounced ideas off of each other and in the end it was perfect! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional musician for their event. My wedding guests loved her violin playing. Thank you Sophia!!

Sophia was so amazing. She was able to play a wide range of music from Broadway, Classics, Disney and even Chinese selections.
Our guest loved her music and enjoyed requesting songs. Amazingly she knew every song request.
It was an elegant touch to our dinner at Skates on the Bay in Berkeley.
We can't wait for another event to have her perform at.
