Jonita

Jonita was the perfect addition to our wedding day!! We were having issues deciding on ceremony music for our outdoor wedding and decided to hire a violinist instead. Jonita was very professional and was able to learn my favorite song to walk down to aisle to. We are so happy we booked her!!

Jonita is all that and more! She is very experienced as an artist and performer. She did our wedding ceremony and it was simply stunning! Her communication is professional and timely. She made things so easy for us! Cannot recommend her enough.

Jonita and her harpist were a wonderful addition to my son and daughter in law’s Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Party and Wedding Reception the next day. The music selection was lovely and just what we wanted. Thank you for sharing your musical talent with us!

Jonita was super attentive and learned to play the song I needed just for the occasion of me doing a return proposal for my fiancée. Her violin solo added the perfect touch of magic to make the occasion memorable and she stuck around for a bit to take photos with us! I highly recommend booking her!

We very much appreciated and enjoyed Jonita at our small wedding ceremony. Her beautiful music was what really tied it all together for us. 10/10 recommend!

Jonita was perfect for my wedding day! She played exactly what I wanted and I have zero complaints!! She was very nice and talented.

Jonita was very responsive leading up to the wedding and was super helpful with my song selections. She was always quick to reply and helped me plan out the timing of the music throughout the night. She did an awesome job at our wedding!

We booked Jonita and Craig to play for the first part of our wedding reception. Jonita was so easy to work with, very responsive and super kind. They were both so talented and professional!

I hired Jonita to play the violin during my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and she exceeded all of my expectations and more! I chose to have the bridal party walk down the aisle to Say Yes To Heaven by Lana Del Rey and I walked down to Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey. She learned both of these songs per my request and played them beautifully! If you are looking for a violinist for your wedding or event, look no further!

Jonita played violin for an outdoor event at our conference. She was incredibly professional and so lovely. The guests greatly enjoyed Jonita!

Jonita came and played for my daughter's art show. She was very engaging and really wanted to hear about how she could show up for the event to really make it an unforgettable evening! She asked about specific songs she could play and even wanted to know about the proper attire. She was willing to play whatever the guests requested and happily engaged with the guests. She was an absolute joy to have there! Thank you so much, Jonita!! We all LOVED you!!

Jonita played beautifully and made my wedding a wonderful experience 😊

Jonita performed for our ceremony, prelude, and right after the ceremony. She was so pleasant to work with and so accommodating! Perfect addition to our day

Jonita is a phenomenal violinist. She performed music for my wedding ceremony and cocktail. She even learned my favorite song so I could walk down the aisle to it. All of the guests gave me so many compliments on the music and performance. Timely, professional, overall fantastic!

Played wonderfully - was able to accommodate all the songs we wanted. Communication was great. Only thing I would change is the positioning of where Jonita played (in front vs in rear of the ceremony)

We booked Jonita for my daughter’s wedding and it was beautiful! She is reasonably priced compared to others in the area, extremely profession, great communicator. She allowed us to pick our own music and we received multiple mentions by guest at how impressed they were. Thank you Jonita for making her day even more special! You were the icing on top!

Jonita did a wonderful job playing violin at my wedding this past weekend! She learned the songs I requested and everyone thoroughly enjoyed her! :)

The music was beautiful! She was so flexible with song selections and the day-of when the weather wasn’t cooperating. I would recommend Jonita to anyone looking for a musician!

Played gorgeously for my wedding and made it such a special experience by learning songs just for me!

Jonita got there early, prepared extremely well, and played beautifully for our ceremony. We could not be more pleased!

Perfect for our Oktoberfest event! So easy to work with!

I hired the lovely Ms. JoNita to play at my nieces baby shower in Bluffton, SC. She was an absolute hit with all the guests.
There’s something about live music, especially strings, that adds such elegance to a setting. JoNita is a wonderful musician. She is professional, gracious and accommodating and most of all, her music was magical and lovely. The mother-to-be loved the Beatles songs, lullabies and French music you played.
If you’re looking for a musician to make your event beautiful, memorable & unique, look no further.
JoNita, thank you so much!
Your music made the party so special. It was wonderful working you.
Five stars all the way!

Jonita made our daughter's wedding day even more special! She and the other member of her duet added a wonderful touch of class to the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour with their beautiful music. So great to work with. I highly recommend her! David M, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

We had Jonita and a fellow musician play the violin and harp for our wedding in Columbia Square and at our reception dinner. She added the perfect ambiance and heightened the elegance of our event. She was very willing to accept song requests, but also provided input for what songs would be ideal to play! I was beyond impressed with her communication to set up and coordinate our event. I would highly recommend her!

She was amazingly talented and very sweet. Thanks Jonita! 10/10 would hire again.

Jonita was extremely professional. She showed up early to make sure we went over all of our last minute details. She went above and beyond what we expected. Oh, and the music was incredible! We could not recommend her more highly!

Jonita worked with us on all the music we wanted for our ceremony - she did Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Elvis, and The Beatles. She was honest about what each piece would sound like with just one violin compared to a string quartet.it all worked in the end for a beautiful ceremony.

We hired Jonita and her group for a corporate cocktail hour/dinner. She really made this experience easy and stress-free. The guests absolutely loved their performance, and we would definitely have them preform again if we happen to come back to the area for another conference. Jonita and her group looked and sounded fantastic, and were a great fit for the occasion.

Jonita was so friendly, sweet, and her music really completed my ceremony. Thank you!

Jonita was AMAZING!!
I am so glad we picked her to be our violinist for our big day, she was so easy to work with and pretty much could do any song we picked. She made our day sound so magical.
I would recommend her over and over!! She did NOT disappoint.

Jonita was the perfect entertainer for our French Event. We can't wait to have her back!

Jonita was prompt and professional. The music was perfect and everyone loved it!

Jonita was fabulous! Her acoustic violin music made my daughter's garden wedding feel very intimate. Lovely working with her and thankful for her husband kindly escorting guest under his umbrella when it started to rain. Much thanks Jonita!

Jonita is not only beyond talented, she is also a fantastic person! From the start she made it known that she was extremely open & accommodating. It was obvious that she was very professional as it only took one phone call and she completely understood everything that I had in mind.

The day of our wedding it down-poured but she didn’t let that stop her. Her husband was also there and helped to escort people from our trolleys with an umbrella. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Jonita was perfect! Sounded absolutely stunning and was great to work with. Was even kind enough to learn 3 new songs at our request for the wedding! Loved every second

Jonita did an incredible job for our wedding ceremony!

The band did an excellent job for our corporate event with 150 attendees. Would definitely have them back at a future event.

If sophistication, elegance and beauty is what one is seeking, you will find those qualities (and more) with Jonita. While my review was requested, it is my absolute privilege to have the opportunity to speak about Jonita.

As background, My girlfriend (now fiancée) and I started dating back in October of 2014 while we were pursuing our undergraduate degrees at UCF. Fast forward to now, she is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and I am an attorney at a large insurance defense firm. Why am I sharing this with you? Context. Simply put, being an attorney does not leave a lot of time to plan a surprise proposal on the side.

Once I settled on Savannah, GA, I knew my next move, and perhaps the most crucial, was to find a violinist. Not just any violinist, but someone that I could place my confidence in to ensure my proposal to my girl was one of the best days of our lives. Indeed, I found her and her name is Jonita.

From the outset, Jonita was responsive (got a quote within minutes). She asked all of the right questions and collaborated with me to bring my ideas to fruition (came up with the idea to pretend she was busking--genius). I'd be remiss if I did not mention Jonita's professionalism and experience. She is a seasoned professional, to say the least. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to her craft that can only be acquired with dedication and experience. But don't just take my word for it, look her up.

It was slightly chilly and the sun was setting. When Megan and I walked down towards the river, you could hear the violin more and more as we approached. I gave Jonita the signal and she began Tennessee Whiskey--incredible rendition. Once the chorus began, that's when I popped the question. It is difficult to capture the magic in the air that day, in that moment in words. But if you asked me what contributed, in large part, to it, it was Jonita and her violin.

Jonita, I owe you a debt of gratitude for how truly special you made my proposal. I would not have had it any other way. Thank you so very much.

-Michael

Jonita was on time. Wonderfully talented and beautiful too! We all at Balmoral was so pleased to have her and will ask her back very soon.
Sincerely,
Barbara Gomez
Director of Events & Entertainment

The audience loved her.

Jonita was a true professional. Excellent communication prior to our event, showed up early and prepared. She did a fantastic job!

If I could give more stars, I would! Jonita was the perfect person for what we hoping for to add that extra to our party for our father’s birthday. She was professional but also connected so easily with us and she played so so well! We loved having her and would recommend her to all. She even traveled a little further to help complete our party. Thank you Jonita!!

I would highly recommend Jonita and the guys that performed with her . Jonita has a great communicate, was on time and had everyone up and dancing . Family and friends can't stop talking about them even days day my father in laws celebration of life party . I can thank her enough for a wonderful night and I'm so looking forward to using her again in the near furture. THANK YOU SO MUCH . Melody

Jonita was amazing for our wedding. She played very well and I recommend her to anyone looking to have a memorable wedding.

Jonita and her band were first class musicians and put on a great show for our Oktoberfest block party .They showed up early, dressed as requested and were very interactive with the crowd, who seem to enjoy the show very much...I would certainly use them again!

Jonita was aaaaamazing! She was on time, looked and played beautifully. Made our day even more special, thank you ❤️

We hired Jonita for our wedding ceremony and she exceeded all expectations. She has great communication, was on time, performed our requested songs perfectly, and when our timing for walking down the aisle was messed up she managed to effortlessly change the songs to match what we needed without any delay, confusion, or mess. I never knew having live music was so affordable and beautiful. Thank you for everything! The entire audience cried after your hallelujah song and said it was the prettiest version they’ve ever heard.

Jonita's performance was great . Our Brunch diners were thrilled with her renditions of familiar songs. We gladly recommend her for any special event.

Jonita and her ensemble were absolutely amazing! They really elevated the atmosphere of our event!

Thank you Jonita for adding the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony! The wind was very strong but you played with Grace! It was beautiful from start to finish! Thank you for everything!

Jonita played at my wedding and it was absolutely amazing. Our guests were so impressed with the violin/cello duo, we heard raving reviews. Would absolutely recommend her for any event.

We are a repeat customer and absolutely love Jonita! My dad has dementia and loves music. Jonita has been apart of some our most memorable, beautiful memories and moments! She’s so talented and her music melts the hearts of all of those she performs for. We will be booking her again and HIGHLY recommend her.

Jonita was a delight and honor to have played at my wedding. She was so incredible that my family are still talking about how wonderful her violin playing was. Moved my grandpa to tears before I (bride) even walked into ceremony. Thank you Jonita!

Jonita was a dream to work with from start to finish. She entertained all of my crazy requests and made our wedding ceremony truly one of a kind. Her music was absolutely stunning and she was so lovely and kind!

Thank you Jonita!!!

Jonita was fabulous!

The violinist was perfect!

Jonita was so kind, understanding, and helpful! She played beautifully at our wedding ceremony and she was a pleasure to have with us on our special day. Will defiantly be contacting her again for more special occasions in the future!

Jonita played for my son’ wedding, and did a fantastic job. Her violin music is so beautiful. It truly enhanced the atmosphere both in the chapel and at the cocktail hour. We are so happy and appreciative that you played for us! Thank you Jonita.

Jonita learned a new song for me to walk down to the aisle to! Her husband even joined in to play another “drum” part to help make it sound better.

All her music was wonderfully played and alll the guest really enjoyed hearing her play. She was so easy to work with and helped me find the right music by sending me suggestions. Would definitely book her again if needed!

Jonita and her accompanying guitarist Allen Shadd were unbelievable good! She is so versatile and talented. Highly professional and a lovely person. Thank you! She made our small family gathering so special.

Jonita was awesome! Our violinist dropped about two weeks before the wedding and It was fate cause Jonita did a fantastic job! We loved having her play our ceremony and cocktail hour music!

Jonita was absolutely perfect for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! The music was beautiful, perfectly timed, and chose such fitting songs. We couldn’t be happier

Jonita and her team of talented musicians have performed for Sholom Park in Ocala on multiple occasions. From a romantic Italian duo to a fantastic 6-piece Celtic band....they never disappoint. I highly recommend Jonita to help customize a performance that fits your musical needs.

Jointa was amazing

We will definitely hire her again, she did great and was super friendly.

Jonita and her band members made my Mother’s milestone birthday party truly magical…their music really drove our Celtic-theme home and I am so grateful for their participation! Jonita was kind and understanding; even though we had a late start, she never lost her smile and even stayed later to accommodate the delayed schedule. Thank you Jonita for sharing your talent with us and for making our event truly memorable 😘🎂🧚‍♀️🦄🦋🎉🎀💝

Beautifully played during our first look and our wedding ceremony ! Thank you for making our day extra special!

Jonita made the job seem astonishingly easy and was able to play everything we asked to perfection! She is an artist and master of her craft and we are beyond grateful for her amazing performance during the wedding. She worked with us to provide the best possible experience and she truly was an amazing and sweet person!

I always dreamed of having an Irish fiddler and band play for my daughter's wedding. I truly had the luck of the Irish when I found Jonita! We wanted more traditional Irish/Scottish tunes, with some lively reels and jigs. Jonita listened to our thoughts and worked with my daughter and me to play the music we love. She communicated well, and let us know what worked best for the instruments they were bringing. Because of the challenges 2020 threw at us, we had to reschedule the wedding for the day after Thanksgiving 2021. They kindly came on that busy weekend, arriving on time, dressed to match our Irish theme, and ready to start the party! It was joyous to have them play--and I especially loved the songs that brought back so many memories for me. Their playing was superb, and the vocals also wonderful. If I didn't have to socialize as the Mother of the Bride, I would have spent the evening just listening to them. Our guests all complimented their artistry, and it made the event a success. I highly recommend Jonita. I will be forever grateful for the memories they helped make.

First off, THANK YOU!!

Do not hesitate to book Jonita! Such a beautiful player but even more amazing is her assistance with the planning of my engagement.

Jonita went above and beyond and was just amazing. Thank you so much and yes, do not hesitate to book Jonita for your events.

Jonita is such an artist, she was able to play everything we asked for and worked with us when the weather caused last min changes.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

They did a great job it was beautiful.

She worked hard to give us exactly the sound we wanted on ukulele and sounded fantastic on violin!

Our members enjoyed listening to the variety Jonita brought to the room. They are still talking about her. We are going to try and book her again in the next few month. They said she played just beautifully and she was very sweet.

SUPERB!!! They helped make my wedding day unforgettable. Thank you so much.
Katina B.

She was the best! The music was beautiful and she was so kind and her communication was great!

Top notch performance by the band and dancers that did an amazing job for our reception. Very nice to work with and really made our wedding extra special. The dancers were just excellent and we heard from so many guests how wonderful their performance was!! Very happy and thank you for making our special day even more amazing!!

Craig on the cello and Jonita on the violin did an outstanding performance at my niece’s wedding. Highly recommend these professional,musicians.

I can’t say enough about Jonita (and her husband). They made my proposal perfect! My fiancé prides her self on never being emotional. The second Jonita struck the opening note with her bow my fiancé was defeated! She has been amazing to work with from both a communicative professional standpoint to simply just being a beautiful person! My fiancé would not shut up about how surprised she was! They went above and beyond. When she found out it was a proposal, they helped with ideas on even things like where to eat afterwards! Her husband even videoed the event for us! Her communication and reliability were second to none. We even had to move the day earlier due to potential inclement weather, even on a popular date such as Mother’s Day! I am humbled and forever thankful! Could not say enough about the experience!

Jonita single handedly made our wedding special. She played every song that was requested even though they were a little out of the norm. I am excited to hire Jonita for another special event in the future and would highly recommend anyone looking for a professional violinist to hire Jonita without pause. Thank you again Jonita for everything that went into the performance and am extremely appreciative of her work.

Chris

Jonita played absolutely beautifully! Not only was her playing peaceful but it was a memory for my family and I. If you are looking for a violinist, look no further! She truly is the BEST

Perfect in every respect!

We had a private room for dinner. Jonita was right on time, and she played beautifully for us for an hour. We are so glad she could come on relatively short notice (36 hrs) ..We clapped several times, even tho it was just the two of us. Yes, we would recommend her to friends. Thanks, Jonita

Jonita and her Accordion Player (Ralph) were a fantastic addition to our drive thru event in Savannah. They were eager and easy to work with. I would recommend them for events.

This trio group was awesome. So many of our wedding guests raved about the quality of the music.

She was absolutely amazing . She played everything we asked better then we expected . She touched based with us prior to the wedding and made us feel so comfortable for the big day . Highly recommended . I had a friend passing out the tips and she couldn’t find her but she was fabulous and didn’t go unnoticed . Thanks Jonita

She was wonderful , my daughter loved it we will highly recommend her
Thank you, Susan

Jonita was a great addition to my customer dinner. Everyone at the dinner was very impressed with her music. Jonita is a very nice and professional musician. I will seek her out for my next customer event.

It was a last-minute thought: add some live music to round out a long weekend that brought family together to memorialize and scatter the ashes of our aunt, and to celebrate at 60th birthday. Family emotions ran the spectrum.

Jonita delivered! She offered and identified additional musicians to round out the performance, and together the three gave my family exactly what was needed to cap off our weekend together. They warned us when "Danny Boy" was coming, made sure to cap the performance off on a lively, happy note, and interspersed a few sing-alongs as well.

Jonita is extremely responsive, professional in her communication and a talented musician. The colleagues she brought along were equally talented and engaging. We could not have asked for more from this experience.

Jonita and her band were interactive with the crowd, dressed perfectly and amazing musicians! The communication leading up to the event was top notch. Thank you guys for the great performance!

This band was very professional, on time, entertaining, and talented! We would definitely hire them again.

Jonita was perfect in every way. She showed up on time and was not only prepared for the wedding, but when she noticed the groom was Scottish, she played Scottish music for them without even being asked.

Could not have asked for better, will certainly be using her again!

Jonita was delightful to have as a musician for our French themed Mother's Day Tea. She and her accordinist showed up on time, dressed the role adorably, and played beautiful music as strolling minstrels throughout our historic setting. Despite the fact that she had to travel some distance we will try to hire her again! It is our understanding that she has a wide repertoire, so, as occasion arises we will definitely keep her in mind!

Great job

Amazing! Absolutely recommend her to do any event! On time and very professional!

Thanks! Jontia and her team did wonderful. Music was very lovely.

Without a doubt this group knows how to entertain. They had everyone dancing.

Thank you for making my hubby’s birthday party/fellas night a memorable one.
They party is over but those priceless memories will Last Forever.
Thank you! you did an amazing job!

We absolutely loved the presentation given by Jonita, Sarah and their singer/percussionist. They were so talented and entertaining...kept the guests totally engaged. I highly recommend! Their entertainment included violin, flute, Irish songs and Irish dancing. Just fabulous! 🍀👍🏻

We booked Jonita and two other musicians for our wedding. I knew her top quality work from previous bookings. She was amazing throughout the process. Fulling all of our requests, keeping in constant touch with us, basically classic Jonita. I honestly would never consider even looking at another violinist for an event.

Jonita's punctuality rings true to her prior reviews. Her violin playing was only matched by the prowess and poise she added to our event! Jonita fit right in and added the modern yet classical feel to the occasion. She dressed the part and could not be more cordial to everyone in attendance. Highly recommend and would book again for future events! Thank you so much!

Jonita was amazing. I hired her to play during the cocktail hour on my daughter’s wedding. She was on time, made everything EZ during the process and played amazing. My guests were very impressed. I definitely recommend her.

Beautiful music for my wedding ceremony, everyone I talked to said they sounded beautiful! Professional and punctual, accommodated all my requests and communicated very well! Would definitely recommend!

I highly recommend Jonita and would definitely book her for future events!

Jonita and the band were fantastic!!! They made our 15th anniversary of our Irish Pub a success.
All of our guests commented on how they enjoyed the band. Thanks again!!!!

Very good!

Several guests really liked Jonita's performance during both the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. Her music "fit the mood perfectly". My wife and I unfortunately did not get to pay much direct attention because we were in a 'Ceremony Fog' and absent during the Cocktail Hour, but from what we've heard from others and the brief moments that we were actually listening during the pre-ceremony/early ceremony, we were really pleased. Thank you, Jonita!

Jonita, was professional, courteous, and flexible.

We hired Jonita to play at during our wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour. She was extremely professional, punctual, and very talented! Before the wedding she even asked what our wedding colors were, so she knew the appropriate attire to wear! We had guests coming up to us all evening commenting on how beautiful her playing was. Thank you Jonita for making our wedding extra special not only for Dillon and I, but for all our guests too! xo

I can’t say enough about Jonita (and her husband). They made my proposal magical for sure. My fiancé has been saying how perfect it was about 10 times a day. They went above and beyond. When she found out it was a proposal, they helped with ideas like lights in the shape of a heart and rose petals. Her husband even videoed the event for us and they uploaded it to my fiancé’s Dropbox! Her communication and reliability were second to none. We even had a couple of glitches with my venue (stairs disappearing) and she helped us roll with it. This night could not have gone any better, honestly. I have a memory with the love of my life that we will be able to recall forever and they were an integral part of that.

Jonita was professional, learned the music quickly, and was a joy to work with!!

What a great entertaining violinist. Looking forward to booking her for future events

Joinita and her assistant Craig played at our wedding ceremony and were truly amazing, she was very professional and helpful with everything. although it was a very windy day her music was beautiful and she hit every note, she also played inside at our reception and everyone loved the songs they played. Thank you so much Jonita!1

Jonita was extremely professional and learned difficult music in a 9/8 rhythm quickly. She added so much to our show!

I am beyond grateful for what Jonita and her partner did for my now fiancé and I . She went over the top for this occasion! She was such a blessing and is extremely talented. If you need an expert musician PLEASE PLEASE contact her! I can not express how great she did! She made the proposal to my girlfriend feel like a Disney dream! Bless you Jonita! Thank you soooo much!

The Trio was a fantastic touch to our competition dinner. They were entertaining and really set the mood for our Italian evening. Everyone really enjoyed the entertainment and the atmosphere that was created. I would absolutely hire them again.

Jonita was great! Good communications, very flexible, knew a lot of songs! I would highly recommend her!

Jonita is an outstanding professional, on time, sweet lady, played at my friend's wedding, I highly recommend her. Would hire again, thank you :)

The guess stated it was very warm and welcoming to hear you playing on the pier. Thank you for you professionalism and dedication to my event. Very please with excellent service!!!!!

I was t able to hear you actually play or stop by to see you but heard how well you progormwd from my guess and how welcoming it was to see you preforming when arriving. Thank you for being professional and providing excellent musing which warmed and welcomed my guess hearts and mind prior to my arrival. It was beautiful from what I was told. Thank!!!!!

She was great. Exactly what we had in mind.

Joints was wonderful! Very flexible considering our circumstances (hurricane and change of venue)
super violinist and entertaining! 👍

The entertainment was perfect for our event! I would definitely use again

Jonita was great at my mother's 60th birthday celebration. She was very personable and knew a variety of music from Latin beats to classical.
Thank you!

What an honor it was for Jonita to play during our wedding ceremony. She is extremely talented, professional, and beautiful inside and out. I would recommend her for any special event.

Jonita not only had the skills of a gifted musician, but her professionalism made her a happy addition to our wedding planning. She was flexible when we changed our minds, followed up to confirm our plans, arrived early, stayed late, and even dressed in the wedding colors. The best part - the smile never left her face.

She made a beautiful wedding even better!

Jonita was extremely professional and the guests not only enjoyed her music but also enjoyed engaging with her during the event.

Not only was she prompt and professional but the music was lovely. We were so happy with her music and so were our guests! She is so talented. I highly recommend Jonita,
her performance was phenomenal. We couldn't of asked for a better experience working with her.
