Jarek boasts an impressive array of musical talents, adding ambiance to our corporate reception with the perfect blend of flute, violin, and cello performance. Booking was effortless, and he took care to work with me to ensure a successful event.

We are so happy we hired Jarek to work and perform at our wedding, he is one talented man. He was both our DJ and our violinist - two for the price of 1! He was by far the best priced entertainment who provided the most services. He was very, very accommodating and flexible in fulfilling all of our requests - whether it was asking for a recording of our first dance song in violin so we could practice before the wedding, or building our dance floor playlist from the ground up, he perfectly executed each request. He was very professional and the guests were RAVING about the music - both about his mixing skills and his violin skills. Can’t recommend Jarek enough.

When I was looking for musicians to hire for my wedding ceremony, I contacted Jarek but hadn't made a decision on who to work with and after a while, I took a break from wedding planning so I had never finalized anything. I'm super glad he had sent me a reminder email to ask if I was still looking for musicians. I had a violin + cello duo for my wedding ceremony this past weekend and the ceremony music was so beautiful. It would have not been perfect without live music. Jarek is super professional and punctual and he knows where to be and knows what to do with little instructions given. 10/10 would recommend and you don't have to worry about him on your special day because he knows exactly what he's doing!
Classical Duo
We were invited to a friend’s birthday party and learned there’s going to be a violin concert. Fun evening with beautiful music and on demand playlist. Impressive ! I was surprised with the variety of different pieces of music from different parts of the world. Fun entertainment for all. Jarek was professional, courteous and engaged with his audience with ease, interacting with everyone in a very friendly manner. I will be hiring Jarek for my birthday and other occasions as well.

We had Kevin from JD group play the cello for our wedding ceremony and it was soo soo beautiful. He was able to take our last minute request for the song that I wanted to “walk down the aisle” to even though it was a newly released song (very impressive that he was able to get the music sheet and play the exact song). It brought my husband and I to tears. He was so polite and patient in the hustle and bustle of the day to receive payment? And even agreed to take pictures with the family. I’m so thankful to be able to have found him for our ceremony. It really made the day special!

We used Jarek for both our wedding ceremony/cocktail hour, as well as for DJing during our reception. The cello and piano were wonderful. Easy to work with and very professional. Thank you very much!

Jarek picked up on the fact that many conversations were going on so accordingly played background music

Jarek was an incredible last minute addition to our backyard wedding. He played beautifully and just the piece that I wanted to walk down the aisle to. He was professional, courteous and we received so many compliments on how wonderful he was.
Thank you Jarek for being part of our special day and making it all the more memorable.

Jarek was a true highlight to our event! He was a wonderful musician and person. He showed up about 45 minutes before the surprise and picked appropriate music that my brother in law loved! Thank you so much Jarek !!❤️🎷🎷🎼
Saxophone Player
Amazing guitarist, mood and tone was perfect for memorial. Very much appreciate a well done performance by Jarek. Thank you Jarek.
Violinist
Jarek was punctual and tailored the music to my requests. His performance was professional, beautiful and enjoyed by all. The guests commented on his music variety and talent. Jarek played the violin for half hour and then the saxophone for half hour. Both performances were amazing. Jarek is a pleasure to work with and a great addition to any event.
Couldn't have asked for someone better. Jarek is a lovely guy and he makes sure that he gives his best shot at it. Me and my girlfriend were extremely happy with his service. I am really grateful for Jarek for coming out on such a cold night and playing his beautiful Violin.
Overall experience 10000%
Violinist
Punctual, friendly, clearly an experienced live performer. Adapted amazingly to changes I had to make to my plans before the event. Provided musical coverage during my event that I didn't know I needed, which made the event even more memorable! Highly recommended.

Asked Jarek to return a few months after his first performance since it was such a hit. He played for my parents again. I was not around but heard nothing but glowing reviews :)
Guitarist
He was a 10/10, on time, very respectful, people person, informative about his craft and he did an excellent job.
Saxophone Player
did a great job, all my guests really loved his performances.
Violinist
Jarek was fantastic, both in the quality of the performance (violin and saxaphone) and in the way he interacted with my elderly parents. He was very skilled in both instruments, easy going and was able to adapt the style of music based on our preferences. I am already in discussions with my family about rebooking him for another event!

Jarek played trumpet and violin for our Remembrance Day ceremony at our retirement home. He played beautifully for our residents, and was s accommodating with a couple specific song requests we had. Would definitely book him again!

Jarek was an exceptional performer and professional. He played exactly what we requested and with such talent. His elegance and warmth made the guests comfortable and his music created a whimsical ambiance. I thoroughly recommend Jarek to anyone looking for a talent violinist/musician.

Jarek was terrific
Violinist
Jarek came equipped with a violin and guitar, just as requested. He plays both wonderfully! He had a professional demeanor, was well dressed, and interacted well with our audience (taking musical requests). We also paired Jarek with another musician, and they made a great duo! Bar none, he is a seasoned pro. All our guests had great feedback. I can't thank Jarek enough!
I'd definitely recommend Jarek at your next event, and already planning to book him again in near future.

I booked Jarek for a company holiday lunch event and he was fantastic. I booked him only for one hour but he continued to play on for another 30 min than we expected. He is an absolute professional and I look forward to booking his services again in the near future. Thanks a lot Jarek!

Cellist, Guitarist
We hired Jarek for a corporate event. He was very easy to communicate with, brought his own gear and arrived right on time. He even brought both a cello and guitar so he could switch back and forth and offer our guests more variety. We received lots of compliments from our guests and couldn't be happier with the decision to book Jarek.
