We had Jonathan play as a surprise for my grandfather at a small family get together. Everyone absolutely loved it, especially my Grandfather!! :) It was the perfect addition to make this a special night. Jonathan was kind, flexible, and so very talented.

After my fiance and I had to cancel our large wedding due to the pandemic, we decided to do a small ceremony with only two weeks notice. Jonathan performed at both the ceremony as well as our "drive around" where we had our guests drive by to say hello. He absolutely elevated both parts of the wedding and it truly would not have been the same without him. With little to no direction from us, he managed to pick songs that perfectly fit the mood of the event and made it feel like a real wedding. We are already talking with family about hiring him again once we no longer have to social distance!
Whether for a small intimate gathering or a larger party, we can not recommend him enough and will be singing his praises to anyone who is thinking about hiring a live musician!
Violinist
Jonathan put on a memorable performance during a backyard, pandemic proposal I put together. He was very flexible given the circumstances and learned two songs in under a week in addition to playing a number of songs from his eclectic playlist.
He was exceptionally friendly and very easy to work with in the days before the proposal. I would recommend him for any event from an art gallery to a wedding to a dinner party.
Violinist
He was professional and awesome! He sounded beautiful.
Violinist
Jonathan was incredible good! From been flexible with scheduling and been flexible with the songs I needed to be played and helping my proposal be a complete surprise to my girlfriend. Jonathan went above and beyond my expectations and really came though for me when playing the Violin to make my proposal special. He was also very proper, on time and professional. I would highly, highly recommend him to any one and I hope to work with him again in the future. He gets a 10 start review in my book!
Violinist
Jonathan is a class act, he incorporated holiday music in to his play list and played requests given by our guests. I received so many compliments on Jonathan, everyone enjoyed listening to him, it was so relaxing and festive. I would HIGHLY recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a violinist or musical entertainment for their event or party. He was recommended by one of your employees, so I googled Jonathan Levingston and loved what I heard and saw on his website. I am so happy I booked him for our event. I will definitely have him back for our future events. ~ Vicki Farrington, Voya Financial

Violinist
Jonathan added the perfect touch to our art show and auction. He played a variety of music that fit our event and everyone loved him. We will be looking to use him more for future events.
Violinist
Jonathan dispelled each of my worries about having hired him for my mother-in-law’s birthday party at a local restaurant. He was on time, very pleasant, played absolutely beautifully, and played the songs I’d requested. The 30 guests each made a point of telling me how much they enjoyed his playing. The volume was perfect for the event, though Jonathan told me he could adjust the volume either way. My husband later said, “I don’t know how you found this guy, but I think he was the highlight of the party.”
I would not hesitate to recommend Jonathan Levingston.
Violinist
How wonderful Jonathan is! I hired him to play a house party last year, a Christmas Gift for my roommates. A Dear Heart, Talented and Entertaining! Playing Classical, Jazz, Original works, and taking requests.
I see Jonathan when he performs locally and his show is always a wonderful musical experience!
Thank you Jonathan!
Violinist
Jonathan has performed at after parties for the Prescott Film Festival for the past two years. He is a very professional and talented artist that creates an elegant atmosphere that is both entertaining and mesmerizing. As a non profit organization, Jonathan gave us a very reasonable price and was even willing to travel all the way to Prescott to perform. I look forward to having him back next year!
Violinist
I have heard Jonathan on several occasions and his musical expertise never ceases to amaze me. He is a true performer, down-to-earth and so talented. I would highly recommend him for any event.
Violinist
Our wedding ceremony was made complete with Jonathan's talent, expertise, and reliability. He learned difficult musical pieces such as songs from Enya and Yanni. He played an extra two hours and adjusted to last minute requests including an improvisation with piano that was perfect during our sand ceremony. We recommend Jonathan for the most memorable events. Thank you

What to Expect
Expect to hear things on a violin that you don't necessarily associate with a violin. Very original approach and experienced subtleties make for a polished performance. Outside of the obvious, I can perform in and out of most genres giving me variety and flexibility to my listeners.
