We hired Florina to be the violinist at our wedding and she was definitely the best choice. She set up an intro call and prep calls to make sure she knew exactly what to do, where to go, and what to play - she’s very organized and talented at what she does, and would be an excellent choice for anyone in need of a violinist for any kind of occasion.
Our experience with her was amazing!
Florina shared her beautiful talent with us at the ceremony and cocktail reception of my daughters wedding . The music was perfect and brought such an elegant touch to our event. Floina came prepared to adjust for the inclement weather and by the time it was ceremony time the sun finally came out and we had an amazing day. Thank you so much Florina for being a part of our special day.

Florina was amazing to have a part of my couple's wedding day. They wanted a violinist to play their wedding ceremony, and she was super prepared to have documents of song choices to choose from, making it easy to select music. Her performance at the wedding was beautiful. Her talent for playing the violin was so pretty to listen to. She works professionally and knows her ques very well. If you're looking for a professional and beautiful entertainment book Florina! Review from a wedding planner!

Thank you so much, Annette. Was a pleasure working with you! Wishing your daughter, her husband, and your whole family all the best!
Florina is simply a flawless violinist. She played for our wedding dinner at a hotel in Birmingham. Not only was I at times absorbed in her music, but many guests remarked how much they enjoyed her playing. A bonus of her playing is that she was able to of course play classical music, as well as many contemporary pop songs we requested. it was such a stunning blend and offered a little for everyone. It was one of the best parts of the evening. As to Florina herself: she is the sweetest person who did everything she could to understand and acclimate to our preferences. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

^^These are the only words to describe Florina's violin skills. She did an incredible job playing the requested song for my event. Her playing elevated the entire room and made the moment so unbelievably special. I could not be more pleased and I would 100% recommend her for any occasion. She was also easy to communicate with and very professional.

Florina
Flory’s violin performance was excellent and added a nice touch to the movie scene. She was very professional and extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend her!!!
I hired Florina for the cocktail hour at my friend's reception. I was flying in from out of town so I didn't have time to arrange everything in a proper manner but the DJ set her up with a mic and it turned out great. It was a bigger wedding so the music got a bit lost among the crowd and the chatter, but it was still a nice way of welcoming guests into the room. She is amazing and very talented, loved her selection of covers.
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Thank you Andres! I loved being part of this event and the way you took care of everything once you were there. Very nice of you! It was indeed a big wedding but a pleasure to play for so many people!
Have an excellent day,
Florina
Florina was a great addition to our wedding ceremony! She was able to play all the songs we requested, and even learned 4 new songs that we wanted as part of our wedding. She was very responsive, and wanted to make sure everything was perfect! She arrived on time and sounded beautiful during the ceremony. Would definitely recommend her service!
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Thank you, Kameron!! It was a pleasure being alongside you and your bride and share the happiness! I wish you all the best in the world!! :)
Florina
Flory did a great job at our wedding, she was on time and worked well with our pianist. I only heard her at the ceremony, however she played during cocktail hour and our guests said she was amazing. Her communication was great and she worked with us on our song list. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional violinist!
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Chelsie, thank you for your review!! It was a pleasure to be part of your wonderful day! I wish you both all the best and all the happiness in the world!!
Florina
Flory was Wonderful!!! So much talent and so accommodating. I called last minute for a Garden Party that I was having for my daughter’s up coming wedding. Flory made the event so special!!! She walked around to the backyard playing her violin and everyone, especially my daughter, was stunned and delighted. I would call Flory again in a heartbeat!!! Loved her ❤️
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Beverly! It was a pleasure being there, sharing that beautiful day with special people! Thank you for inviting me and I wish your daughter good luck, a beautiful wedding and lots of happiness!
From my heart,
Flory
I booked Florina to play at my wedding. Despite a snow storm and treacherous road conditions, she arrived on time and played beautifully throughout our small ceremony and kept guests entertained afterward while photos were being taken. She was extremely professional and played my favorite song as I walked down the aisle. This was the first time I've hired a professional musician, but her excellent reviews speak for themselves and I'd book her again in a heartbeat.
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Thank you very much, Meredith! It was a pleasure to be by your side and to play for your ceremony! I wish you and your husband all the best in the world!!!
Florina
Florys was prompt and ready for our event! She played beautifully as a strolling violinist and guests were very impressed! Thank you Florys for your beautiful music!
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Thank you so much, Renee!!! It was a great pleasure to play!! :) Such a positive atmosphere!!!!!! Loved it!!!
I was unable to hear some of Flory's violin music, because I was the bride, and unfortunately, they made me stay in the car until it was my turn to walk down the aisle! But I heard she was amazing, and what I did hear sounded great. She played along with a pianist we hired. They had never played together, but didn't seem to have any issues doing so! I received compliments about her playing.
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Naomi,
Thank you very much for your kind words!!! I wish you the best of luck on your journey together!!!
Florina

We hired Florina to play at our wedding in a park and it was BEAUTIFUL! Would hire again, my guest LOVED her. I also wrote about her on my site http://www.juskeepsmile.net/2018/07/the-wedding-vendors.html
Flory played the violin during my wedding ceremony. She did great and so many guests told me that they were blown away! Definitely book her.
Excellent violinist! Songs were exceptional! Very professional! I would recommend her for any occasion so professional! Thank you glory for your beautiful talent!
Flory was a joy to work with. She arrived early-so early that I wasn't sure if she remembered the event start time! Her performance was masterful and provided the perfect atmosphere for our senior event. I will look to book Flory again in the near future and if you're looking for a violinist for an upcoming event, I highly encourage you to look at Flory first.

I requested a string quartet to provide the mood and support the emotion of my late husband's memorial service. Quartet Flory was there for my every request from Jobim to Joplin, Samuel Barber to Piazzolla. My heart is touched by their performance and my personal experience to sit at the very heart of the quartet and take in the movement of the harmony from instrument to instrument. I hope that I might provide one more such concert to my hometown.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. All of my guests were awed by your musicianship.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your performance. We received much positive feedback from our guests. The owner of our company was very happy with the music and the atmosphere it helped to create.
Response from Florys Violin Art:
Thank you so much!!! I enjoyed every moment!!
Flory was prompt, had marvelous suggestions, knew what she was doing, and entertained all of wedding guests! Two thumbs up....fantastic! I highly recommend her performing for you!

Flory played for my sister's wedding at my request and the experience was beyond fantastic. In addition to her incredible talent, she is an absolute professional with such a lovely, positive attitude. She plays exquisitely and was so accommodating with our musical selections. Flory and her beautiful music made this celebration extraordinary. My family and I would highly recommend her!
Flory played at our wedding in Caseville, MI. She was extremely responsive and helpful with a selection of beautiful music. She answered all my questions with patience and kindness. She was dressed very nice for our wedding and she played beautifully. All of our guests enjoyed her music. She made our day extra special and I highly recommend her.

Florina is a professional violinist, performer, teacher, writer, and YouTuber.
Born in Bucharest, Romania, she decided that "city life" is interfering with her creative nature, so she moved to... Transylvania in 2008. Not a joke! And YES, Transylvania is a real place! But with so many vampires in sight...In 2014 she relocated to Michigan where she now resides.
Her favorite food is sushi and her drink... you guessed it! COFFEE! You did not guess? Hmm...
She holds a Master's Degree in Chamber Music - Violin and a Bachelor's Degree in Violin Performance from the National University of Music "Ciprian Porumbescu" Bucharest. But more important, she has a passion for MUSIC that goes beyond the certifications and degrees.
