A dedicated violinist with over 20+ years of playing experience, I would be thrilled to play at your event whether it be a wedding, party, or at a get together to make the experience a great one! I currently play with the Tampa Bay Symphony Orchestra and have played at several weddings and events in Orlando and the Tampa Bay Area. I passionately play classical music, fiddle music, and modern day music making the experience fun for everyone. In addition, with the vast experience I have with events, you can be sure that I will be 100% prepared so that you can enjoy the event / experience! I hope to be able to play at your next great event!
Highly recommended!
Any Occasion Violin provided lovely music for a memorial luncheon held at a private club. The club manager told me he hears many musicians play, but ours was one of the best he’s heard. I highly recommend for the lovely music and professionalism.
Alvaro played so beautifully at our destination beach wedding, we got so many compliments about his music and are so happy we booked him. He was very communicative and accommodating with our special requests. I highly recommend him for any occasion and you will not be disappointed with his services!
Alvaro played for our Ribbon Cutting ceremony. He plays beautifully. So many people commented on hos much they enjoyed listening to him. I would definitely recommend for an future events.
Super punctual and has great communication. We had a beach wedding with Alvaro and everything was amazing!
Alvaro provided our chosen songs from his Playlist and was even able to find one that was not on the list. He arrived ahead of ceremony time and his attire was impeccable. We thoroughly enjoyed the music.
Having a Violin at our event made it so special!! He played everything we asked for and the sound was angelic!! Highly recommend this very professional, timely, friendly violinist for any occasion!!!
We started late and had to change our plans multiple times and he was super flexible!! The music was beautiful and perfectly orchestrated with our event. The bride was thrilled with her perfect beach wedding!! I look forward to working with Any Occasion Violin again!!! I highly recommend his excellent music!!!!!
His music is beautiful, and he can play such a wide range of music! He was prompt, professional, engaging and flexible. We started a little late and had the best attitude. Did I mention his music was amazing? I will definitely book him again. He would do well with big and small groups alike ❤️
