We were so lucky to have found this artist, Anna, who beautifully played at my son's wedding. Her sweet strings were a subtle and powerful backdrop to a small and simple wedding at minnehaha pergola garden. She was flexible and completely open to out needs, and her music filled our souls. Thank you, Anna, for your amazing contribution to such an important event.
Absolutely wonderful experience with Anna Andrews for our recent wedding event! It rained on our special day, which forced us to change the location and start time. Anna was so flexible and easy to communicate with during these changes, it was seamless! Thank you so much for everything Anna, our day was absolutely perfect!
Response from Anna Andrews- Violinist:
Thanks so much, Kelsey! Even with the rain and having to change plans your ceremony was still beautiful and it was an honor to play for it. Thanks again for having me play!
We were so happy that we hired Anna Andrews as our violinist. She did an excellent job of playing before the memorial service and during with the requested songs. We couldn't have had anyone better. We were very happy with the whole gigsalad experience.
Anna is very professional and accommodating. She played all my songs that I had requested for my wedding reception, which I wasn’t expecting because my list was hefty. I enjoyed finally sitting down to eat dinner & listen to her but I wasn’t able to for long. I was so stoked to listen to her. I honestly wish I would have recorded her because I just wanted to sit, listen and watch her but as a bride had to talk to my guests as well. My venue where she played was ok. I could hear her while I was sitting for dinner but as I moved to the back of the room, I could not hear her as well. I was pulled from guest to guest for photos and discussion & wishing I could have had a chance to tell her we couldn’t hear her in the back but it was just busy. When I walked back up to the stage for a group photo, she was in the middle of playing “shallow” I felt soo special when I could hear that while walking up and had goosebumps. I was over the moon to hear Anna. Kicking myself in the butt for not recording her. I would like to hire her again just so that I can focus on watching her and listening to her. She’s wonderful, replies back to messages and reasonably priced. You want to hire Anna. I sure do again! Thank you Anna

Anna did a great job. Arrived on time and was very professional. Loved her rendition of Somewhere over the rainbow. Beautiful !
She was excellent and did a great job playing everything we requested and entertaining our guests. Highly recommended
Response from Anna Andrews- Violinist:
Thank you so much, Erin! It was my pleasure to play for your special day.
Anna played for the Polish-American community Christmas celebration and was very well received. She made the event very special. We would love to have her back next year!
Anna helped kick off our event with her professional violin skills. Anna was very easy to work with and added a lot to the success of our wedding.
She made the process easy, she had many questions which were organized well. She showed early and I didn't have to worry about her, so I could focus on other details of the wedding.
Wonderful lady and a talented violinist. Would recommend her to anyone.
Anna was extremely professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. She took the time to learn my complicated music request (songs from the Amelie soundtrack) which was above and beyond anything I could have imagined. It took our wedding to the next level and will be one of the most memorable parts for us. We cannot express our gratitude enough. Thank you!
Anna performed for our New Years Eve Party at our house. The one hour performance was a highlight of the evening. In deciding to have Anna perform I liked how she could play a variety of music -- classics, holiday and fiddle tunes. She was very professional in advance of the party and helped me -- a novice -- decide on the type of song selection which would work based on our friends interests. A very memorable occasion for us. I would definitely hire Anna in the future for musical events.
Price Range: $200-$1000
