Anna Pora

Isaiah 61:10 arranged a duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I was instructed to purchase the additional copyrighted music at an additional $60. During our first-look photos, the duo was practicing our music, it seemed for the first time as they were not on the same page.. Unfortunately, it rained prior to our ceremony and an unplanned cocktail hour occurred prior to the ceremony while we waited for the rain to stop. During that unplanned cocktail hour, the duo did not play.. which was disappointing as we had purchased additional music for that.
After the rain had stopped and we went forward with the ceremony, the duo stayed on a patio away from the ceremony as it was covered. Unfortunately due to the distance of the patio from the ceremony, the ceremony music could not be heard from our guests or the bridal party, or on our wedding video. It’s unfortunate for the rain for the change of plans, but we wished they had played near the ceremony site, as it was now dry or during the cocktail hour, although it was at the unplanned time. Looking back, it wasn’t worth the expense for a military couple paying for their wedding themselves. I was really hoping for a more curated, classy event with string musicians, however we were disappointed. The rain obviously cannot be controlled, but a better utilization of the musicians hired time is expected. I contacted the owner prior to this review who mentioned another violinist had stepped in the day of the event due to an accident. Her response was nice, but offered no resolution.

Anna was dependable, flexible, communicative, professional and talented. The music she provided and that of her accompanying flautist was lovely. We were extremely pleased.

Anna was amazing from the start , was always available to answer any questions I had. And the day of the ceremony she was on time and a made a childhood dream come to reality. I would definitely recommend her to other brides , which I have done already. Anna played so beautifully everything was magical!!!!!

My family and I are very grateful and pleased to have Anna and her co-performers musical presentations during Angelique & Tyler’s celebration. Thank you so much!

Anna Did an amazing job!

We couldn't be happier. She did a beautiful job playing at our wedding. Very talented Violinist. On time. Did everything we asked. Very pleased. Would highly recommend.

Anna was very reliable and professional! The violin sounded beautiful in Old Christ Church.

She played beautifully at our daughter's beach wedding! We could not be happier with the way things turned out. She was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating with our daughter's music selection. We highly recommend her.

Anna is a top notch violinist. She walked me through the process on obtaining my music request. She was on time and delivered beyond expectations. I'll recommend her to anyone who needs her service

She was wonderful! The music was beautiful and my guests enjoyed it. Very easy to work with and reliable!

Amazing. All my guests loved it. Very professional and punctual. Loved how she played, "Here comes the bride". Very pleased. Thank you.

Anna was professional and her music was great! She added a special touch to our event! She was very easy to work with!

This musician was perfection!! I could not have dreamed of a better violinist. She was on time and her performance was flawless. I had a rather complicated series of songs and she was able to understand what and how I wanted it and pull it off effortlessly. I would hire a thousand times over!!! Thank you for making the ceremony incredible! You were amazing!!!

Anna was amazing! She was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She has a wonderfully sweet attitude, and offered lots of suggestions for music for our wedding. I trusted her judgement, and I'm so glad I did. She showed up early dressed so nicely. Her talent is amazing, and many of our guests also commented to us how wonderfully she played. I highly recommend Anna!

Anna was amazingggggg!!! She contacted me before the ceremony to ask me some questions about what I would like to be played. And she did exactly that... played beautifully!! We had a beach wedding, so as I waited at the top deck to walk down, I had random people up there from the beach telling me how they had been in awe of just listening to her while they waited. Thank you Anna for making our wedding day even more special by playing for us. U were the best!

Anna played at my wedding on the beach near Santa Rosa, Fl. She was amazing! It was a destination wedding and Anna was so helpful at guiding me through the process of picking music and the small details. Her music was beautiful!! I definitely recommend her!

My violinist was sweet, enthusiastic, and very gifted.
I have used her services before and she was wonderful!
I want her to play at my next wedding. I'm a wedding planner.

Wonderful! I hired her for my wedding ceremony and she was amazing very friendly and easy to setup with and it sounded perfect! Thank you so much for making our day special!

Made our wedding reception the perfect post-wedding event! Thank you!

We really enjoyed Anna Francis' performance as well as her graciousness and professionalism. She was prompt, courteous and a pleasure to meet. There was nothing but positive comments from this experience. I hope she will receive future bookings from the attendees. Thank you, again, Anna...and Gigsalad!

Isaiah 61:10 performed for my husband on his birthday in a local restaurant. The contract process was very easy. She was very accommodating on the details of my vision for the event and added her suggestions which improved my vision. She arrived early and so well prepared for the performance. Her performance was incredible and everyone was delighted. I can't emphasize enough how skilled this young woman is with classical music. I highly recommend her for your event.

Anna played at our wedding on Pensacola Beach, Sept 2014. She is tremendously talented. Not only did she play all the classics beautifully but she was so patient, gracious and helpful in picking out the perfect lineup. Thank you so much Anna for making our day perfect.
