Hello!
My name is Chelsea and I currently live in Europe (between Croatia and the UK) but will be available to play events in Miami on November 25th-27th 2023 and also in Atlanta from November 28- December 9 2023.
I completed a fellowship at the New World Symphony and attended both Rice University and the University of Southern California majoring in violin performance. I have over 15 years of gig experience and am available for events including weddings, church services, parties, funerals, etc. I hope to perform at your next event and thank you for reading!
Chelsea was wonderful, she played beautifully…… would highly recommend!
I will be honest, When getting married, you barely have time to enjoy the music. What I did enjoy was how amazing Chelsea has been throughout the entire planning process. From sending us reminders to helping set up a perfectly arranged selection, Chelsea was very flexible and available for any changes needed. Provided samples of the music to songs for originally different instruments. Everything very smooth.
Chelsea was fantastic! She played beautifully! She was super easy to work with - sent me a list of songs to give feedback on - I didn't have time to go through all of them, and yet, the songs she picked were perfect! The Basics: she was on time, professional, followed covid guidelines, and we had great conversation too (we engaged in case you prefer to have someone just play, I have no doubt she would do that). Super talented and lovely.
Response from Chelsea Sharpe:
Thank you Lauren!!
Chelsea is THE BEST! She took all of our varied song requests and played them all with such detail and beauty! Before finding her, we checked out many other wedding violinist who were the music equivalent of a friend who loves to sing karaoke, but not a true singer. Chelsea's playing is that of a true musician. She is not just playing the notes; she is an artist.
And she is not just incredibly talented, she is also a great person to work with. She is prompt, has a great positive energy and is very helpful. We got many compliments from our guests about how beautiful our wedding music was. So, stop looking for your violinist and hire her!
Response from Chelsea Sharpe:
Kayla, you're so kind! Thank you for having me be a part of your special day, it was an absolute honor.
As the bride, I actually didn't hear much of Chelsea's playing but everyone said it was great. I threw a surprise wedding (everyone thought it was an engagement party). I gave Chelsea specific instructions for where to park and exactly when to come out after the reveal. She was on time and it all went down perfectly. She made picking a song easy by giving me lots of options and then happily played our requests that weren't on her list. I really appreciated that she accommodated our unusual event. Thanks again Chelsea!
Response from Chelsea Sharpe:
I loved being a part of your surprise wedding, Malone! Thank you for your kind words.
She was very friendly, considerate and elegant. She played beautifully. Would definitely use her again for our Anniversary.
Response from Chelsea Sharpe:
Thank you Tisheka! I so enjoyed providing music for your gorgeous beach wedding.
Chelsea was fantastic. Incredibly friendly and kind on top of obviously playing great music.
Response from Chelsea Sharpe:
Thank you Chris! It was an honor to perform at your family's Valentine's Day dinner.
Chelsea Sharpe is a rising star. Even hearing just a few notes, you know that she is special. We feel so lucky to have been graced with her music.
Response from Chelsea Sharpe:
Thank you so much John!!
Chelsea was amazing - she helped with all my small requests and performed so beautifully. She really made our special occasion something to remember. Thanks so much. Cant wait to hear you play again.
Response from Chelsea Sharpe:
Thank you for your kind words, Paul! I look forward to performing at your next event!
She’s was absolutely fantastic! She was punctual and she played so beautifully. She was everything we expected and more. She played at a surprise baby shower for my sister and she was my sisters favorite part of the baby shower.
Chelsea is amazing! So professional and talented. She made our event a true success. Her music was beautiful and just filled our souls with warmth and joy.

Audiences and planners can expect a well-trained musician who is prompt, professional, well-dressed, and personable. I truly love engaging with my audience (if appropriate) and believe that live music adds sophistication and beauty to any setting.
