Clare provided music prior, during and immediately after at our wedding. She was professional in the meetings prior to the event and had great suggestions for music options and listened to our thoughts on what we had envisioned. My guests were impressed (including some formally trained violinists) with Clare's beautiful songs that she played flawlessly. I would highly recommend her for your next event.
Response from Clare Pellerin:
Thank you very much for your generous review, Lynda!! I am delighted I got to be a part of this memorable day for you and Tim, and it was a truly beautiful, heartfelt ceremony!! I'm honoured to have passed muster with the violinists who were present :)
Clare was amazing. She communicated well with me prior to my event and made sure to answer all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Highly recommend!
Response from Clare Pellerin:
Thank you so much for your recommendation, Marie! It was an honour to perform for such a momentous occasion in your lives, and the ceremony was absolutely beautiful!! The music you chose was meaningful and a pleasure to learn!!
Clare was absolutely wonderful along with her cellist partner. They both played beautifully and added so much to our event with their presence. Thank you so much for being available, accommodating, timely and absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend working with Clare. Thank you again!
Response from Clare Pellerin:
Delighted that you enjoyed the performance, Barbara!! We greatly enjoyed having the opportunity to share in such a joyful family event, and thank you to you and everyone there for your warm welcome!!
We had the pleasure of having Clare perform solo at my brother's wedding. She arrived on time to set herself up and played for the guests as they arrived. Once the bride was ready to walk down the aisle, Clare played a beautiful rendition of Pachelbel's Canon. She continued to play during the cocktail hour. Clare's demeanour the entire time was very professional and her dedication to her craft can be heard through her music. She was a joy to listen to. I highly recommend Clare for any event you need a dependable and professional musician for.
Response from Clare Pellerin:
So glad you enjoyed the music, Tamara, and thank you for your thoughtful review!! It was a pleasure to play for such a momentous and beautiful event!!
What an incredibly talented musician Claire is. She played at my wedding and i had so many compliments about her style and ability.
We were thrilled to hire her and would do so again!

Religious music:
It is preferable for me to coordinate with the music director at your place of worship if I will be playing liturgical music in a religious service. I am most familiar with Catholic music and services (I am also a cantor at St. Josephâs Basilica in Edmonton), but I have also performed at Anglican, United, Unitarian, and Gospel churches, and know some Hillsong Worship-style songs, such as:
What a Beautiful Name
Gratitude
Praise
10 000 Reasons
Yeshua
Oceans
How Great Is Our God
Goodness of God
Worthy
The Blessing
Reckless Love
I am happy to learn new music, and to coordinate with the organist/ pianist/ band / musicians/ cantor at your place of worship! Please note that some denominations do not permit secular music in services - please check with the officiant/ music director.

I can provide a regular amplifier setup, but if the venue is so large that it requires a bigger sound system, I will need to connect iPad/ phone, and an iSolo mic.
