Grace was right on time and very professional. She played wonderful music that our members enjoyed all night.
Very professional, caring and sensitive to our group of senior citizens. Grace flowed with me with all the hymns I requested. I’m looking forward to another time being together. The seniors just loved her and enjoyed her presentation. Richard Grant Director.
Grace was nice and professional from start to finish. She communicated well in advance, was on time, and played beautifully.
Would definitely hire Grace again. She was good at communicating as well!

Grace responded to my request quickly, communicated well throughout, and really made the process easy! Add to that that she figured out where to be when with little help from me and played BEAUTIFULLY at our wedding, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Grace!
Grace was truly amazing. The memorial was beautiful and her violin was angelic!!!
Grace did amazing!!!! I completely forgot to give her a timeline and order of events for the ceremony. She made it happen and was absolutely superb! She was professional and kind. You will not regret booking her for any of your needs!!! Literally the best. :)
Grace was professional, on time, and very attentive to how I wanted my ceremony. Everything was played perfectly. She was very responsive to my many emails and requests. I couldn’t be happier with the job that she did. She was able to play a song that my Mom and sister sang at my ceremony. Many of the guests told me later what a great violinist I had and one of their favorite parts was when my Mom and sister sang with Grace playing. I can’t thank her enough. You will have no regrets in hiring Grace.
Highly recommend she is wonderful in every aspect .. great musician professional. Timely & charming !!
Response from Grace Notes:

Grace was AMAZING! She is professional and an exceptional musician. I treated my wife to a special dinner and entertainment by Grace. The music was perfect for the event!! On top of all this, Grace was super easy to work with (quick to respond to emails and answer phone calls/texts). My wife and I highly recommend her!
Grace is very talented! She was on time and very patient and professional! I’d recommend her at the highest level.
Grace played at my daughters wedding and at her reception.
