Emily was incredible! I recently hired her to play at my proposal and she did an unbelievable job. She arrived well before and was highly communicative to make sure she was positioned perfectly for how I wanted to propose. She also learned a cover of my fiancé’s favorite song just me and played it at the exact right timing. The music was beautiful and she made the most special moment of our lives come to life. Highly highly recommend Emily!

Emily was an absolute delight to work with in every way. Emily arrived early and was very upbeat and very attentive to the wedding venue and her role in the ceremony. Emily played her violin beautifully and in perfect timing to the cadence of the bride and the bride’s father as they walked to the wedding abor. As the bride and groom walked away, after their wedding vows were done, Emily played their requested song until they were out of sight. Emily was professional and at the same time, so personal and engaging, without being overbearing. I would not hesitate to hire Emily again for any sort of venue that needed violin music playing in the background during the event.

I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is a true pro, and made our wedding day so very special! She was communicative, friendly, and had some great suggestions. Not to mention, of course, that she plays BEAUTIFULLY. Our officiant is a musician himself and at one point pulled me aside and said, I've worked with and heard some other violinists perform, and she is "top tier"! You will not go wrong with her, book with confidence! Thank you again, Emily, for being such a great addition to our wedding!

Emily is amazing! We hired Emily and her associate Mike (guitar) to play at my parents' 50th anniversary party. My parents love The Beatles whose music has been the soundtrack to their life together. Emily and Mike played instrumental Beatles music plus a few other special requests during a cocktail hour. Our party was small and chaotic at the same time (teens, younger kids, dogs, and food prep), and Emily and Mike seamlessly integrated into the event. My parents were so surprised and exceedingly thrilled by the performance. They danced, sang, and cried several times. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. Emily was incredibly responsive and accommodating from beginning to end. Emily and Mike were lovely to work with and are so very talented. Their music gave true value and meaning to my parents' special night. It was a night we will never forget! We highly recommend hiring Emily and Mike for any event!
