Abby put together a group of string players (herself included) for my wedding and reception, and totally blew me away with her professionalism, prompt attention to requests/emails, flexibility, and sheer quality of playing. Whether it was a Classical or a pop selection, it was flawlessly executed and seemingly effortless for Abby and her fellow musicians. I highly recommend her - you won't regret it!

The music was beautiful and exactly what what we wanted! Abigail and her team were professional and sounded wonderful-what an accomplished group of musicians!
String Trio
We worked with Abigail for a short session for my wife's birthday weekend. My wife loves the cello, and Abigail was willing to take song requests that my wife likes. Abigail communicated very well and was enthusiastic about the event. Her playing was beautiful! Highly recommended.
Cellist
Abby was not able to perform at the last minute; she sent another cellist friend of hers, Cameron.
He did a great job.

Cellist
Abigail performed at my niece's quinceanera, and my entire familia was blown away. Never have I seen a cellist do the things that she does. Her rendition of "the Swan" had my abuelita crying. And to think - we almost went with someone else!

This cellist is fantastic, and was so good at adjusting on the fly to any thing we needed! She can play anything ranging from pop tunes to classical music and crushes it no matter what. Really added a great vibe to our event and would certainly recommend her for anyone else.

Abi was wonderful. On time, performed beautiful selections with a lovely warm tone, and was very personable. She made my mom's funeral reception more uplifting and peaceful for the mourners. Highly recommend! (Ask her to share videos of her playing since as of this review she did not yet have them on gig salad.)
