We were so lucky to have Mike play during our wedding ceremony! From the moment we connected, he was incredibly responsive and accommodating, working with me for months to curate the perfect playlist. He went above and beyond by learning new songs, trimming pieces to fit key moments, and even performing a beautiful, obscure melody from a video game that was special to my husband. He was there early to set up and was just on it with every detail needed for a perfect performance.The music was flawless and added so much heart to the ceremony. It’s everything we dreamed of.Our guests are still talking about it! I can’t recommend Mike enough—professional, talented, and a true joy to work with. Thank you so much for making our day special.

Mike = Vibes. Period. okay, so I’ve been to *plenty* of birthday parties, and usually, live music is just kinda… there. but he made the whole night feel *elevated*. people actually stopped chatting to listen. he just *gets* the vibe. every song felt perfectly picked for the moment, shifting seamlessly from chill background music to full-on “OMG, this is amazing” energy. it never felt forced—just effortless and cool. highly recommend!

I’ve been to plenty of cocktail hours where the music fades into the background—pleasant, but never the focus. That was not the case with Mike. The moment he started playing, people actually stopped their conversations to listen. His performance had this magnetic quality—elegant, dynamic, and completely engaging. What really stood out was his ability to set the perfect mood. He didn’t just play—he read the room, adjusting seamlessly between upbeat, lively pieces and more intimate, soulful moments. It was clear he wasn’t just providing background music; he was creating an experience. If you want music that elevates your event rather than just filling the silence, Mike is the one to book.

Incredible experience being able to watch and listen to Mike play the violin! He picked a combination of fun, modern music to make sure everyone in the audience felt included. He worked the room with his talent in music. Mike was absolutely captivating to where I wanted more! I even checked Spotify afterwards for more (he's not there). You will NOT be disappointed!

I hired Michael to perform at my parents' 40th anniversary celebration, and he exceeded all expectations! He played a wonderful mix of songs that my parents loved, from classical to some of their favorite rock hits. The music was such a special touch to the evening, and our guests kept asking who the violinist was. Michael was so professional and friendly, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything went. Thank you for making this event even more memorable!
