Mary was absolutely the best to work with! I could not recommend her more. We used her services for our wedding and another event and everyone absolutely loved it. Everyone was raving about her music all night!
Her work ethic was absolutely amazing, she came to all our meetings super prepared and asked all the small detailed questions that everyone else forgets about.Also, for the wedding we wanted to enter using a cultural song and she learned it and played it perfectly.
Mary is soo sweet, hardworking, and talented. Thank you for making our days special Mary!

What a wonderful experience we had with Mary Brunson. Our family absolutely loved the performance she played and we could not possibly have been happier with her work.
My mother, who is now 90 yrs old, owns a violin that belonged to her father. She remembers him playing it when she was a little girl. Sadly, he passed away when she was very young and no one had played it since. It had fallen into quite a state of disrepair and we were not sure that it could be restored. Fortunately, the artisans at Carraway Strings in Richardson, Tx did a fantastic job in restoring the violin. All was done without my mother knowing about it. For Easter, my brothers and I surprised my mother by telling her we hired a violinist to come play for us for Easter as an afternoon private concert. She was not aware the violin that Mary was playing was, in fact, her father's violin. After a few songs, we let her in on the secret and she was absolutely thrilled and speechless the violin had been restored so well and played so beautifully. Mary came well prepared and played it perfectly, which was great considering she had never played on this instrument before that day. Our family is forever grateful to Mary for giving up her Easter to help us give our mother a very special Easter gift! Thanks again Mary for giving our family an unbelievably memorable day.

We hired Mary to play violin at our wedding, and she was truly one of the highlights of our entire day. From the moment we first connected with her, she made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. She is incredibly kind, warm, and professional, and her talent is absolutely unmatched.
Her music added such a beautiful, emotional touch to our ceremony — several of our guests even commented that her performance was one of their favorite parts of the wedding. Mary didn’t just play the violin; she elevated the entire atmosphere.
We are so grateful we chose her. If you’re considering having a violinist for your event, Mary is everything you could hope for and more. Highly, highly recommend! 🎻✨

A week ago, Mary performed her melodies at our wedding reception. She truly brightened the occasion in a very special way. We thoroughly enjoyed her music. Her repertoire is extensive and ranges from classical to contemporary. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Our guests were fascinated.

I reached out to Mary after a quick search on Google for a local violinist. We didn’t have much time to the event day and Mary was one of the first to respond, quickly. Thank God for that because she was amazing! She sent her list of music, stayed in constant communication, showed up dressed perfectly for the event, played so beautifully and was so gracious to us. We are grateful to her for being with us for our special night, a surprise proposal. We will be using Mary again for the big day!
