Brittany's highest fulfillment lies in inspiring others through the universal language of music. Whether in the concert hall performing a solo Bach sonata or in a backyard wedding waltzing to "Can't Help Falling in Love," Brittany performs with a gentle ease that sweeps her listeners away. She is committed to prioritizing your requests and making sure dreams are realized in the special event you have planned!
She played great at our outdoor wedding!
Brittany was extremely professional, accommodating and an excellent violinist! I would highly recommend her for any event that needs a beautiful violin sound! Thank you Brittany!
Brittany did an amazing job for a proposal. She was open to recommendations for song choices and played the songs perfectly!
Brittany did a FABULOUS job carrying out this BEAUTIFUL surprise for my Bride! Thank you SOOO MUCH!!
She was excellent and very accommodating for our event.
Having a violin serenade was a wonderful way to celebrate 50 years of marriage for my parents. Just lovely!
Brittany was awesome for us! As a funeral home owner and funeral director, I had a family request a violinist at the graveside to play a couple of songs. Because we currently are living within the limitations of the Coronavirus, having something special at the graveside made such a difference. Brittany was perfect! I’m sure she normally plays weddings and more festive events, but she was so graceful and passionate with both her music and her words to the family after the service. Her talent with the violin was perfect and beautiful!
Great job! I would not hesitate a second to hire you again! Thanks!
Brittany was great! I gave her a timeline which she followed to the exact minute. Her musical selections were precisely what I requested. She was professional and very easy to work with. I highly recommend her!
Helped with ideas in planning my small private event and was just delightful to listen to. Thanks for everything!
Brittany played for our outdoor wedding ceremony and our guests raved about her! Thank you again for making our special day even more beautiful! The only thing I regret is not being able to experience her playing more.
Response from Brittany Craig:
Thank you for your kind words, Jennifer! Your wedding was so beautiful, and I was honored to be a part of it!:)
She played beautifully. Having a violinist play during the High Tea was the perfect touch to a perfect afternoon.
Fantastic! Had Britny play contemporary pop songs for the younger generation which she researched, practiced and performed beautifully. Had over 300 people of which most made great comments regarding her. Great professionalism as well. Would strongly recommend without hesitation.
I hired Brittany to record a few violin compositions in the studio. She matched the tone of her performance to the mood of the songs perfectly. She had made a few notations on the scores prior to the session, which showed she had prepared. She is prompt, friendly and a true professional. I hope to work with her again someday. Thanks!
Brittany was absolutely Amazing! This woman answered me in GigSalad within an hour of my post. She was by far the most reasonable quote I received (all I needed was 30 minutes of prelude music and 1 song during the Memorial Service for our Mother). She answered every anxiety filled message I sent her in that “fog” you have after someone close to you dies. She was so flexible and so sweet~ I asked her (last minute) if she could continue playing another 15+ minutes while we processed outside, and she was so gracious to agree and was so fair about the additional charge for time (which was very small, and inconsequential to us because we just wanted a beautiful ceremony for our Mom). Her music was beautiful and she was an incredible accompaniment for our singers! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! You made this Memorial Service a memory that we can all cherish! We so look forward to working with you again in the future!
I contacted Brittany a couple months before my wedding and asked if she would play - she responded very quickly and let me know ASAP whether she was available or not. Thankfully, she was! I gave her a list of songs I wanted played and genres I liked, but it was pretty vague. On my wedding day, I heard all the songs I had requested from her and a few she had chosen! Her intuition was exactly what I wanted for the ambiance of my wedding. She even learned a few songs per request! She came to my wedding prepared, dressed modestly, played beautifully and had a lovely, relaxed ambiance about her. I 10/10 recommend Brittany for all events you want a violinist to play at! You will not be disappointed.
I was very pleased with Brittany's performance at my wedding. I made a last minute decision and contacted her 3 to 4 weeks before the wedding date! I picked out music for her to learn and she came threw in an outstanding way and knew all the music I asked her to play! She also played some last minute prelude music as well and did wonderfully! She was prepared, on time, and very professional. I trusted her to learn the music in a timely manner and she went above and beyond! I would recommend her to anyone needing a kind, loyal, hard working, and professional violinist. She is the best!

As the event planner, you can expect Brittany to be focused, flexible, and friendly with your guests. She will arrive a minimum of a half hour before the start time. She does not have any additional set-up requirements, besides basic shelter from the elements. The music performed will be adequately rehearsed and smoothly performed. Violin music adds class and elegance to any event, and my desire is to make your event an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
Brittany Craig received her Master of Music degree in violin performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 2021.

While a student at WSU, she sat concertmaster of Wright State University Symphony Orchestra and performed in the Wright State University Chamber Orchestra and Ardenté String Quartet. She received full scholarship to attend the Brevard Music Center for its 2017 and 2018 seasons where she had the opportunity to work with such artists as Keith Lockart, JoAnn Falletta, and Noah Bendix-Bagley. As a child, Brittany studied violin, piano, voice, and theory in a Russian music school located in Yoshkar-Ola, Russia where some of her best childhood memories were made.
