Amazing violinist, great song selection and flexible with timeline. Highly recommended
Violinist, Pop Music
I hired Michi to be the violinist for a private dinner I had when I proposed to my girlfriend. She played all of my girlfriends favorite music from modern, classical, even Tchaikovsky & Nutcracker ballet songs. She has a wide range, very happy and nice to work with, and will definitely be calling her again.

Michi was an absolute gem to work with. She was extremely responsive throughout the whole experience. She was on time and most importantly played extremely well. I had Michi come to our apartment rooftop to give my wife and I a private concert for our wedding anniversary. She played on our rooftop as the sun was setting and created a memory that we will never forget. I highly recommend her!

My husband and I had a small wedding ceremony in Central Park with our families in September. We hired Michi to play the violin for one hour and she did an amazing job. She arrived to the ceremony on time. We requested 3 songs, which she learned and played for us! Worth the price. Would recommend!

Michi made my wedding day beautiful.
Extremely talented with emphathy towards her client.
Michi was on time and played beautifully. I would definitely recommend her services.
On the day of my proposal the temperature was a scorching 90° at central park. But michi was right there in perfect form playing my fiance's favorite song "I dont care" by ed sheeran as we walked onto bow bridge. It was simply a magical moment for me and my fiance and we will never forget the moment Michi began performing!

She was so professional, arrived early, set up in no time. Worked around a chaotic scene while I was setting up. Her music was absolutely heavenly. During the planning process, she was so professional and thought of every detail down to the most minute. Planning her part of my event was perfection, having her play while I proposed was, in my fiance's words, "right out of a movie." Would rate ten out of five stars if I could.

Wedding Anniversary Dinner at the restaurant where we had our first date. Michi showed up promptly and discreetly started to play our wedding song (which she had to learn in a short time). It took a moment for my wife to figure out what was happening and realize it was our song. The tears were tremendous. It was great. Michi played a few other pieces and then as quickly as it had begun it was over. Just what we needed as a surprise. Thank you Michi for a memorable evening.

I hired Michi to play music for my surprise proposal on Governor's Island, and she truly helped make it the special event I envisioned. From the very beginning, Michi was responsive and accommodating. She was also very fair; at no point did I ever feel like she was trying to squeeze me. Coordinating 20+ people to a special proposal site on Governor’s Island can be very tricky and stressful, and she made it as painless as possible. She played a great selection of appropriate music, including some song requests. My friends and family loved her!
Would consider her again for future bookings and would strongly recommend to anyone looking to give a special moment a little extra boost.
Michi is a great player, reliable, professional and accommodating. Upon my request played a Brazilian song, Carinhoso, beautifully, witch she learned in the same day of the performance. Thanks for a great surprise event fir my wife and her friends.

Michi came earlier to the event where she was going to be part of a group performance which included piano, cello, acoustic guitar and bass. The event was a little hetic in terms of time to setup each music group on stage for the sound check and she handled very well the stress it brought to all of us. She is a sweet soul and very talented. Also she was very responsive all the time. I highly recommend Michi. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so mich Michi!!!

Picture this, a red checkered table cloth spread out on the ground covered with rose petals. A straw picnic basket sitting on the table cloth. Crystal Champagne flutes and rose champagne to go with all the food. I am there with my girlfriend enjoying a picnic in Central Park. A woman comes up and hands my girlfriend a dozen roses and then starts playing her violin, creating beautiful music. My girlfriend looks at me and says, "are you proposing?" Michi was so much fun to have on my team to create this beautiful experience. Her violin playing was divine and just the right mix of classical and pop songs. I can't wait until my next adventure I plan that Michi can be a part of it. Michi is the best.

Michi was very professional and well put together. She coordinated the songs with myself and the DJ to make it a seamless performance. She also brought her own equipment, aside from her violin - a mic and amp. She was well prepared and given the short notice, she more than delivered. I had selected a few songs that I tied into my father's 70th birthday party, and she was a perfect addition. I must say, I was a bit hesitant at first, having to plan this party all the way from Canada and in New York City, but she was very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend her and would definitely book her again for future events. Thanks, Michi!
