After living in Los Angeles for the past five years, I've made the move back to East Coast! I had so many great opportunities while I lived there playing at weddings, corporate events, proposals, concerts (Placido Domingo, Coolio, Streetlight Manifesto) and recording sessions (The Temptations, Deadmau5). I would love to chat with you and make your event as special and personalized as possible!
I also play in a trio called Coastal Collective and we are on GigSalad. Check us out if you are interested in a violin/guitar/vocal group for your wedding ceremony/cocktail hour!
I hired Emily to perform classical music at my father’s funeral reception. I requested a violin and cello. Emily was able to find a cellist and they both played flawlessly. I gave them quite detailed and complicated directions to enter Arlington National Cemetery. This required them to get military vetting and passes prior to arriving. They handled it all extremely well and were playing as funeral guests arrived. I, and my guests, were absolutely delighted with their playing. Lovely and professional, I can’t say enough about the addition of these two accomplished musicians to the reception. Highly recommend!
I hired Emily to perform at my surprise proposal at the Washington D.C. Tidal Basin, and she went above and beyond to make it incredible! From the moment I reached out to her, it was evident that she truly cared about making the event special and was incredibly flexible to work with. At the proposal, Emily's performance was simply breathtaking, and she managed to create an unforgettably enchanting atmosphere.
Not only is Emily an incredibly talented musician, but she was also extremely professional. She arrived early, set up quickly and efficiently, and was courteous and gracious. She was attentive to my needs and requests, and she made sure that every detail of the performance was perfect.
Overall, I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is an exceptional musician and was an absolute joy to work with. If you are looking for a talented and professional violinist who can make any event special, Emily is the one to call. Thank you, Emily, for making this engagement so unforgettable!

Highly recommend Emily for your next event ! Absolutely amazing to work with. Such a sweetheart and so much talent ! She played for my wedding ceremony and it was simply beautiful. So many people complimented her music ! Thank you so much ❤️
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Emily and her colleague Holden playing for our wedding ceremony. The violin and the cello sounded so wonderful together! I had plenty of people coming up to me saying how beautiful the sound was. They worked well with my husband and the DJ to make sure that the sound was exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be happier! They were professional, easy to work with, and I will keep them in mind for any other events! Thanks again Emily & Holden! xo

Response from Emily Lenck:
Thank you so much for the kind words Cherry! Your ceremony was absolutely beautiful and I'm so happy that I could be part of your special day.
I am a colleague of Emily's, (she doesn't know I'm writing this), I am a full time musician and contractor, and I have worked with hundreds of violinists over the years. Of all of them, Emily is one of my favorite people to hire and work with; we've worked together in many different settings, weddings, parties, salons, musicals, etc. She's incredibly accommodating, friendly, she's always a team player, always shows up early, and her playing is fantastic. It's effortless and soulful, truly remarkable. You will be so happy you hired her!
