I offer my services as a musician in various settings such as weddings, funerals, church services, orchestra, dinner parties... I have many contacts in order to create any type of ensemble you would like! Duets, trios, quartets (or more) of any instrumentation are available. I can help you choose music to cater specifically to the ambiance desired for your event.
I am a skilled violinist who trained in Switzerland for twelve years before coming to Louisville, KY to complete my bachelor's degree in Violin Performance. I have gone around the world and performed in all of the settings mentioned above and more. I have over 20 years of experience in performance.
Marina was EXACTLY what we wanted and needed and performed with perfection. She was kind, considerate, flexible, and communicative. She was super easy to work with and did everything we asked and more. I would absolutely recommend her. She is professional in every way. Thank you, girl!
Response from Marina Konishi Comfort:
Thanks so much for the kind review! Loved getting to play for you all, thanks for having me!
Marina was professional at every step of the planning and execution of our event. I am so thankful we chose to work with her. She made our wedding ceremony complete and did it exactly the way we asked. I would book here again and again without hesitation.
Marina provided the music for our wedding day and she was so wonderful! We got compliments from our guests on how well she sounded. She was also very easy to work with and very attentive to our specific requests. I highly recommend her for any of your violinist needs 😊
Response from Marina Konishi Comfort:
Thanks so much Maggie! It was a pleasure working with you!
Marina and her husband Dylan (the nicest people ever!) played the violin and guitar for our wedding ceremony. Words can’t describe how beautiful their music was and how perfect it was for our ceremony! We were upset that we didn’t have them play the whole night they were so great! If you’re thinking about having a violinist and/or guitar at your wedding, DO IT! Just make sure it’s Marina and Dylan, because they’re seriously the nicest, best musicians around! Thank you guys!
Response from Marina Konishi Comfort:
Thank you so much Dylan! It was such a beautiful ceremony, we were honored to be a part of it!

Marina was amazing! She did exactly what we discussed and everything was beautiful.
Marina and her partner were amazing! I got so many compliments. They played a wide variety of different songs. It really set a relaxing and elegant tone for the whole night.
Marina was the perfect addition to our wedding. She was professional, prompt, and provided elegant music for our ceremony!
As the bride I was limited on being able to hear and focus on everything however the feedback I received about her playing was wonderful. She was engaged in this event with me and flexible. On time...and didn’t have to worry about anything. Would definitely recommend her 🤗
The ceremony was made so much more beautiful by Marina. She was engaged in this event with me and flexible. On time...and didn’t have to worry about anything. She played beautifully. Would definitely recommend her 🤗
Marina and her friend played an excellent duo during our ceremony. She was easy to work with and learned a special song that I surprised my husband with at the wedding! I highly recommend.
Response from Marina Konishi Comfort:
Hi Taylor! Thanks so much for your kind review. So enjoyed working with you and getting to be a part of your special day. Congrats to your and your husband!
Marina was a complete pleasure to work with in providing a strings duo for our wedding ceremony. She is very responsive and easy to talk to, and after looking up her performance videos on YouTube, we knew immediately she was the one for us. Having a Celtic themed wedding Marina learned a set of songs for the occasion, and even transcribed the arrangement for a piece that we requested which could not be found online.
Marina's choice for the second violinist was perfect, and he actually switched from violin to guitar as needed throughout the set.
We would absolutely recommend Marina Konishi Comfort as the first choice for your wedding ceremony.
From planning to performance she is a complete and utter pro.
Thanks, Marina!
Marina and her partner did a fantastic job playing the music for our wedding ceremony. I got so many compliments on how beautiful the music was. She seriously made my wedding perfect. I highly recommend her. We booked her with short notice and she worked quickly to find a cellist to play with her and plan everything with me. She was quick to respond to all my emails, she was very helpful with helping me decide what music to play, and very professional! Thank you Marina!
This was my first time to hire a musician over the internet. I was a little skeptical of hiring someone, not meeting or talking or even hearing them play an instrument. Marina was responsive to my over the internet requests. She was on time and put on a beautiful performance with her Violin. Very professional. Would recommend her. Thank you very much, Marina & Gigsalad! Pam P.
Response from Marina Konishi Comfort:
Hi Pam, it was so nice meeting you, glad I could add some extra sparkle to the already classy engagement party! Thank you for your kind words.
Marina was great to work with from the very beginning. She was quick to respond, and very easy going. She worked with my pianist several weeks in advance to coordinate the music. I would highly recommend her for any event!
Marina was so friendly and she was so easy to work with. We were having trouble picking songs, so she even emailed us you tube videos of different selections so that we didnt have to search for the songs. The music was absolutely lovely!!!
Response from Marina Konishi Comfort:
Thank you so much for your kind review, it was a pleasure working with you! Congratulations, and I wish you a great marriage!
Marina and her group were very prepared for this concert event. They were very well received by over 140 persons attending the event. We want her to come back!
Response from Marina Konishi Comfort:
