A specialist musician and entertainer? Yes! That is what I consider myself to be. Working carefully to master 3 instruments and find unique ways to incorporate them into wedding ceremonies, receptions and other events. Electric wireless harps, glittering violins, and lightweight electric pianos in various colours. A harp that seemingly floats across the dance floor, a giant snow globe that I can stand up and play in. LED lighted violin and LED gown. I play all three of these instruments very well and with a work ethic and supportive attitude towards you, your family, friends and guests. I love what I do, and I’m blessed to be able to do it. Let’s see if we can do it together!

I learned quite some time ago that every event has it's own unique differences. Most of the time I can pick up on what those differences are and adapt quickly so that my performance is as close to exact as the client wants. Audience members will always see a professional, well dressed, smiling entertainer that works hard to bring out the smiles in them.
Hello! I'm Elena. A professional full-time musician based in Toronto specializing in weddings and corporate functions. For an interesting twist on my sound and appearance I also play electric violins and piano. Combining these 3 gorgeous instruments in interesting and unique ways often all in the same event.
This year I introduced my two new gorgeous mini electric grand pianos. They can be setup virtually anywhere as they are lightweight and wireless! Plus I love this country so much I have a white one AND...a red one! Can you say Christmas, Valentines Day, or a wedding anywhere?
Harp & piano for cocktails or ceremony, roving violinist for dinner, even an LED lighted violin inside a huge air filled sphere (snow-globe) for a funky Vegas style set with the DJ. Oh…Almost forgot about my latest attention-grabbing presentation the “floating harp” People keep asking me “how do you do that?” Any and all combinations depending on your needs and requirements. With perfect pricing for one instrument or all three it’s up to you. You can watch live examples of everything in the video section of this profile.
Over 10 years experience playing in some of the most desirable locations in the U.A.E has led me to Canada to be asked to perform in places like Casa Loma, The Royal York Hotel, Casino Rama, Niagara wine country, banquet halls, churches, clubs, and private residences.
With piano and harp rentals in cities across Canada I can travel light with the Swarovski electric violin, custom gown, and small equipment case. This can complete the 3 instrument evenings virtually anywhere.
No event is too large or too small for me to help provide elegant unique entertainment customized just for you. I’m right up to date with technology and social networking but I still love an old-fashioned phone call. Tell me all about your wedding plans or special event. (phone number hidden) or (email hidden)
Thanks and chat soon!

Many sound personal have complimented me on my knowledge of how to make both the harp and violin sound right in just about any setting or event setup. I take pride in that as I've designed 4 or 5 different combinations of small mixers, effects, wireless solutions, and unique LED lighting to help not only the sound guys, but for everything to fit in a way that it's not noticeable. It's discreet so the instruments can blend into stages and not cables and wires.
For small gatherings of 30 to 40 people for wedding ceremonies for example I have a battery operated cordless speaker that can be setup anywhere. For larger audiences of up to 250 people in a large hotel reception areas for example I have two powered speakers, mixing desk, and stands that does very nicely. I even carry a silent battery unit that can last for 5 hours and handle the entire system. In case the party is on the beach or the 18th hole. Also in he collection is a custom made electric violin that is fitted with over 250 LED lights in blue, green, and red. A very futuristic item great for product launches and reveals. Oh and yes...A LED light suit and hat. They go together great. Finally there is..."The Bubble" A 9 foot high by 9 foot wide plastic sphere that I climb into and play either the harp or violin. It sits on a podium or a mini stage if you will and air is circulated inside and it creates an amazing effect. Oh don't worry, due to a couple of interesting design features I can breath just fine inside. I've stayed inside and performed for 2 hours straight on a couple of occasions.

From Vivaldi to the Beatles to Bruno Mars. I may be a solo act but I love all kinds of music. Interestingly I love to find new and creative ways to combine all of these styles to accommodate the shows. With the use of high quality backing tracks and the ability to edit and mix them I can usually come up with something special just for you.
