I have played at a wide variety of occasions including Wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions, birthday parties, corporate events and more. I am a classically trained, violinist specializing in Gospel, hip hop, R&B, jazz and classical music. I have performed at various venues throughout New York City including Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center and the World Famous Apollo Theater.
Having Priya Dupree as our wedding violinist was an absolute delight! Her performance was nothing short of phenomenal, captivating everyone present. The guests thoroughly enjoyed her music, and she seamlessly coordinated with our DJ, who later raved about their collaboration. Priya's talent was so impressive that guests were asking for her contact information. What truly stood out was her thoughtful gesture of personally greeting me before leaving—it was a lovely touch that made our day even more special. I highly recommend Priya for any event where exceptional talent and professionalism are desired!
My review is late but I had to circle back to complete it. I hired Priya for a wake. She was more than on time as she accommodated a last minute time change with grace. Her skills on the violin were & are impressive as she played all requested music and then some without sheet music. Set up was quick & she was very respectful during the service. She absolutely brought a light to a sad occasion. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this type of entertainment!
I want to get married again just so I can hear Priya play! Priya was the violinist at my 11/11/21 wedding and she was unbelievable! My guests could not stop raving about her and though I, as the bride didn’t have the pleasure of enjoying her play as much as my guests. I got so much joy re-watching my wedding videos with her in it. I spent a sizable chunk of the day after my wedding giving my guests Priya’s contact info so they can book her as well.
Thank you Priya!

Thank you Priya!
Not only is Priya is an exceptionally talented musician, but she had the best playlist and was a great communicator. We loved working with her and she really set the mood for our baby shower!
Priya is a delightful, professional, punctual, but above all very very talented, musician! I would rebook without hesitation.
Everyone loved Priya. She’s great!
Words cannot begin to express how instrumental Priya was to the surprise engagement. She was so amazing that we cannot wait to book for subsequent events.
Priya was excellent! She was prepared and did exactly as was discussed. She played for the wedding ceremony. She started playing during the guest arrival and continued until the ceremony guest had departed for the cocktail hour. Money well spent!
Priya was fantastic!! She played all of the songs on the playlist that I provided and even serenaded my mom while playing her rendition of Happy Birthday!!!
Priya gave a great performance. She performed at my son’s high school graduation celebration. He and our guests were very impressed. Priya fit right in with my family and friends. She is someone I recommend without any hesitation to any event.
She was great! Made the occasion a memorable one
Every one of our guests mentioned her performance to be their highlight for my wedding that took place on June 16th, 2019. I was afraid she might need my assistance for me to direct her on where to set up and when to start performing, as I did not have a wedding coordinator, but no, she took charge of her part and put up an amazing performance!
Thank you, Priya!
Prius did an amazing job. Very professional and a true master of her craft. The guests at our wedding really enjoyed listening to her play.
Played violin very well for the funeral of a beloved friend.
Priya made my daughter's Sweet 16 an epic event. An event that cannot be topped. I cannot emphasize enough the talent this young lady possesses. She is professional, kind, and an overall charismatic person. So much so, everyone thought she was a friend of the family. She entertained every age group present.
I must say she left quite an impression. I strongly recommend Priya for your event.
Priya is exceptionally talented and did an awesome job. All my guests loved her and several asked me for her contact information. I will tell you the videos on GigSalad don't even begin to really display her talent. Already planning on booking her for another event.
Where do I start?? In preparation for my fiance & I's Engagement Dinner, my dream was to surprise him and our guests with a special performance that tied in with our theme surrounding the short film Runaway by Kanye West. I was looking for a violinist that could pull off a hip-hop inspired performance using classic songs by Kanye but with an edge to it, & Priya went above and beyond my expectations. She was easy to communicate with, timely, & genuinely pleasant to work with. Her performance was eloquent and not only was my fiance surprised, we all sang along together while she played and truly had the time of our lives! Will be booking her for the other wedding festivities!
Price Range: $700 and up
Gig Length: 5 - 210 minutes
