Sarah,
You were so amazing, I couldn’t be happier! Every guest told me it was like a movie and just unreal. You were incredible. Thank you so much for showing up early to prepare and literally making my ceremony perfect.
Sarah was such an amazing part of our wedding ceremony. Our guests loved walking into the venue listening to her play before the ceremony started and throughout. She knew all of the songs we requested and was able to even add in a few songs I requested last minute. We would recommend her to anyone!

Response from Sarah Blick:
Thank you Riley, and congratulations on your new adventure!
I hired Sarah to play Happy Birthday on her violin and it exceeded my expectations. We also got hear Sarah’s beautiful voice, singing one of her Sugar Still songs. Priceless!
Sarah is a gem and will brighten your day. It certainly did that for us.
Thank you Sarah for the great memory.

I picked two songs not normally played on a violin. Sarah nailed both of them. On time, pleasant and professional.

Fiddler, Violinist
Sarah showed up a little early, and stayed a little later than planned. She has amazing skills and made my parents special night, that much more special.

Sarah was great, a perfect addition to the band. She was an easy going player that fit in beautifully. We would definitely recommend her and have her again.

She played at my wedding! She did a great job.

Sarah was a fast-learned. She learned a Bollywood song within 24 hours! She had great communication! She was a real asset to GigSalad, and will keep me coming back here again. She helped with my proposal and she was focused and on point. There were people that came up and tried to talk to her while she was performing to ask if she could perform for them. She kept my song going and made the performance great. I would recommend Sarah to anybody looking for musical skills!!!
