I am a classically trained violinist since age 9. I can play solo violin for your wedding ceremony. NYSSMA All State Qualified (2005). Fun, real, and romantic music catering to the bride and groom's musical tastes.
1st violinist was absolutely amazing. She was very professional and friendly. She was flexible with our rehersal time and was at our venue early the day of the wedding to set up. Her musical talent brought a sweet, romantic atmospher to our outdoor wedding. I would gladly have her play at a future event. Thank you so much 1st violinist for our ceremony music, it was beautiful!!

I can play solo, or with accompaniment such as piano for any one or all five of these stages of a Wedding Ceremony:
Prelude (guest seating)
Processional (Bridal party entrance)
Bride entrance
Unity Candle
Recessional (Bride and Groom exit and celebrate)
I can play popular music melodies like, "All of Me" by John Legend or traditional works like, "Canon in D" or "Air Bach". If you are interested in hearing your favorite contemporary music, the Processional and/or Recessional would be a good place to play the John Legend melody, 'All of Me' or something like it.
I will do my best to cater to the Bride and Groom, because this is their big day! I will communicate with the necessary people planning the big day, i.e. wedding planner(s), Bride, Groom, and any other musician that will be joining me to play for the Ceremony.
Here is a list of music you may like,
