Lisa played the violin for my wedding ceremony and was a dream to work with. Not only was she extremely talented, but she was so organized and prompt. I would highly recommend hiring Lisa. You certainly won’t be disappointed that you did!
From the very beginning Lisa went over and above to ensure we had exactly what we were looking for to make my day absolutely perfect she was extremely attentive to my needs and reached out a number of times to make sure we had everything set for the music exactly how I wanted.
During the rehearsal, her and her partner were so so so amazing, patient, and understanding as I sat with them to figure out how I wanted the music to go for each part of the wedding.
They were kind, punctual, and the music sounded so beautiful. It was everything I could have dreamed of on my wedding day. I would recommend them 10 fold for anyone looking to have live musicians for their special day or event.

Thank you for your kind words Victoria! We were thrilled to get to play a special part of your big day! Your wedding was gorgeous and memorable. And I am so glad we could accommodate your musical requests.
Lisa played for my engagement and did absolutely amazing! She was very responsive, detailed, and reliable. She played the violin so well when it came down to the big moment and made everything even more special for me and my now fiancé. Thank you again Lisa for everything!
As a pianist who has often accompanied Lisa during gigs, she is very fair and easy to work with! Fun song selections and good about scheduling times before an event to get practice in.
Just had my wedding over the weekend. Lisa and Sarah played violin and piano. They are both great, super communicative and knowledgeable about how the ceremony should run. Music was wonderful, we all loved it!!!! Thank you Lisa and Sarah!!
Lisa played a Christmas performance as a present for my mother and the other residents of the Assisted Living Home in which she lives. My mother was delighted with the performance, as were the other residents. All but a couple stayed for the whole performance. It really infused them with the Christmas spirit. Thank you so very much, Lisa.
Response from Lisa Luu:
Thank you very much Terri! It was an honor to get to play for your mother. She is the sweetest! One of her friends who also lives there accompanied me and she played by ear. I enjoyed myself thoroughly as well and would love to do it in the future if an occasion arises. Merry Christmas!

The event was a art opening in a beautiful historic building. Our guests for the evening so enjoyed the ambience that the musicians added to the night.
Loved the professional process of using gig salad!
Lisa did a wonderful job playing piano at my wedding, she was very professional and kept me up to date with how she was going to arrange the song as well as she had a great attitude through the whole process!
Lisa played beautifully for my wedding ceremony. She worked very hard to locate our song choices on short notice and was extremely flexible to work with. Lisa not only played piano, she also played violin stunningly. She did an amazing job pulling all our ideas together to create a beautiful ceremony. We feel so blessed to have found her for our special day. I highly recommend her for any occasion!
Lisa's music skill is admirable. She played for our marriage vows renewal ceremony some pop songs from "back in day" with confidence in spite of not being familiar with the songs and given the music only 2 days before the event. We also enjoy her ukulele playing :).
Lisa is a sweet lady who is willing to work with you to make sure your event is perfect. She played a song that I picked out for my wedding ceremony and it turned out really good. She got a lot of compliments. She is very talented and professional at what she does. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends.
