Thank you so very much for coming and waiting for the newly engaged couple to walk through the door. Everything was perfect. We will for sure keep you in mind for the next event.
Julia helped me carry out a quirky birthday surprise that went smoothly and was lovely. She is nice, prompt, flexible, and super talented. She worked with me on preparing some of my partner's favorite songs for his birthday, met up ahead of time at the location to make sure everything was set up right for the surprise, and was a wonderful part of the whole experience. Thanks Julia!

Hi Rose, thanks so much for this review! It was lovely meeting you and I very much enjoyed the wedding!
Julia had great communication with us and did great learning the songs we requested with no sheet music to read from. Our kids loved listening to her play. She went above and beyond and even played background music as we set up for the our event. Would definitely recommend, five stars!
Response from Julia Grissett:
Thank you so much, Brandon! I was honored to be part of such a special intimate moment!
Julia was wonderful! I could not have asked for a more talented Violinist to help me pull of a beautiful proposal. My ultimate goal was to portray the immense love I have and Julia’s beautiful talent made it happen. It could not have gone more perfect. I requested three songs to be played and she said yes without hesitation. Not only is she talented, she is kind and unbelievably patient. She was flexible as the location and time changed, she was still willing to be there. I could not recommend her more! Thanks, Julia!
We found Julia on Gigsalad and were very pleased with our last minute decision to add a violinist to our special day. Communicating with Julia was very easy. She performed beautiful pre ceremony, ceremony and post ceremony music. She was professionally dressed and a very nice addition to our small micro ceremony. Prices ver also extremely reasonable!!
Julia was just great. She helped me set up a proposal and went the extra mile to learn some special songs I wanted to hear during the proposal.
Thank you very much I can highly recommend her.
Julia has something come up and recommended I go with Brianna. Julia prearranged the change... could not have been easier. Brianna was perfect, prompt and willing to play my music choices.
She played violin at our wedding along with a guitarist. The music was what we were looking for and Julia was very easy to communicate with before the event.
Response from Julia Grissett:
Thanks so much for the review, Anna! It was such a pleasure playing at your wedding and I'm glad to hear you were pleased with the music choices.
Julia was very professional and wonderful to work with. I got feedback from my guests that having a violinist was their favorite part of my wedding!
I have worked with Julia, a colleague, playing several weddings together. She was prepared and on time for rehearsals and performances. Julia is a talented musician and a pleasure to work with!

If you hire Julia, you can expect reliable, straightforward, and high-quality work! Julia is highly passionate about anything related to music and the arts, has extensive experience performing, and is highly organized and professional as portrayed by her full-time consulting career. By working with Julia, you can expect a highly professional and personalized experience.
Julia typically provides 2-3 pricing options influenced by details such as performance duration, music genre and whether transcribing of music is required, the type of event (concert-style performances will cost more than background music), and travel costs.
For weddings, Julia can provide both ceremony and reception music. She is versatile and can generally accommodate any requested genre. She accepts song requests or can operate without any direction due to her extensive experience with weddings. Julia's ceremony rates includes a 45 minute prelude, processional music, and a postlude. You may pick your preferred genre and favorite songs, or leave the music up to Julia!
For other special events, Julia will work with you to determine your preferred genre, the style of music and general feel you are looking for, and work together with you to ensure the vision you have for your event comes to life! Julia has performed for concert-style backyard parties, anniversaries, proposals, birthday parties, a state governor's friends and family inaugural dinner, corporate events, funerals, new car opening events, and more. Consultations via phone or in-person (if you're very close by) incur no additional cost!
Julia typically wears all black or non-flashy attire unless specific dress is requested. Attire can be a component that brings your vision to life though, so please let Julia know of any attire that you prefer! For attire highly specific such as a gown, additional expenses may incur.
Julia is both a violinist and a full-time management consultant project manager. Why is this differentiation important? Because it proves Julia has the talent, discipline, and management skills necessary to make your event high-quality and memorable.
Julia received her Bachelor's in Violin Performance and Masters in Arts Administration from Florida State University. She's played the violin for 19 years and has experience performing in weddings, orchestra concerts, and other special events.
At Florida State University, Julia's primary teacher was Eliot Chapo, the former New York Philharmonic concertmaster. Julia studied with several other faculty members for chamber music and private lessons including Dr. Corrinne Stillwell, Dr. Benjamin Sung, and Dr. Shannon Thomas. She also attended Brevard Music Festival during which she studied with Maria Sampen.
In Tallahassee, Florida, she performed with the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra, Albany Symphony Orchestra, Panama City Pops Orchestra, several local church orchestras, and in special events such as weddings, church events, and funerals.
Julia enjoys continuously diversifying and expanding her skill set, as doing so has made Julia a well-rounded consultant and artist. Julia has learned to transfer her violin performance skills to her management consulting role, and continuously explores how to transfer her consultant skills back to the music and arts sectors.
By hiring Julia, you are hiring a passionate, well-rounded artist and consultant dedicated to providing a high quality experience for all.
Julia is available for indoor and outdoor venues, and does not require microphones or speakers.
I have hundreds of songs on hand and can generally accommodate any song request! Please reach out to discuss your music selections in more detail.
Julia provides her own equipment.
