Working with Selin was an absolute pleasure! We are from Toronto, Canada and got married in Scottsdale at the Hotel Valley Ho. Selin was so nice to deal with from afar and answered all of my questions in such a timely manner. I didn’t get the pleasure of meeting her until our wedding day and she is just as beautiful in person. Her enthusiasm and her passion for music made us feel so confident and comfortable. Her music was magical and truly made our day special! Thank you Selin! 💜
Selin is an amazing Violinist. She has a wide variety of songs and can play anything beautifully. You can tell she enjoys performing and being in the moment. Not to mention she is beautiful. What a great performance.
Any time a couple or vendor partner asks for a musician referral, I recommend Selin. Not only is she a professional at what she does and how she conducts herself, but her musical abilities are unmatched. Her violin playing is beautiful and voice is amazing. Many times couples have booked for ceremony and extend for more because of the elegant sound it creates for such a sentimental day. For those looking for that sweet and special touch, working with Selin is certainly a great choice.
We hired Selin for my daughter’s wedding. She really went above and beyond, asking in depth questions and really listening to the bride and groom. She helped to create a magical event and lasting memories, even the in-laws were impressed! I’m so grateful to her and all the work she put in, she makes it appear so effortless! I look forward to working with her again!
Selin could not have been a more perfect addition to our little wedding ceremony in Flagstaff. She was so capable, her communication was excellent throughout the whole process, she was so sweet, price was reasonable, and she is so incredibly talented. Her violin music was so lovely during the ceremony and our cocktail hour. We honestly wouldn't have changed a thing and would highly recommend her for any event that needs that little something to make it more magical. Thank you so much!
I booked Selin to play violin during our wedding ceremony in Scottsdale this past Memorial Day weekend. I cannot say enough good things about Selin both as a person and a performer. She portrayed the utmost professionalism, and her performance left our wedding guests talking all night. They loved her little details in her performance, like the lights on her violin were awesome. She showed up early and played during a brief pre-wedding social period, and then her music timed up perfectly for our walkouts and exits. She made my walk down the aisle such an incredible experience playing our special song. Selin was extremely independent and required little to no instructions which gave us one less thing to stress about. She is experienced, talented, gifted, and a joy to meet. If I could give her more than 5-stars I would.
Loved Selin, her contemporary violin and her singing! Our guests were fully entertained.
She was easy to deal with, on time and made the evening even more pleasant.
My husband and I were introduced to Selin by our wedding planner a few months before our big day. After listening to her music on her YouTube channel and watching her instagram videos we knew she had to be a part of our wedding.
From the moment the first note resonated through the air, it set the tone for the most incredible celebration.
We worked with her before the wedding to select songs that she would play during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Added bonus, she has the most incredible voice, so we asked her to sing “At last” by Etta James during the cocktail hour. Our guests were mesmerized by her memorable performance!
Selin’s technique was flawless, showcasing a level of skill and mastery that left everyone in awe. Her music provided a rich and captivating sound that filled the entire venue. The melodic lines flowed seamlessly, each note carefully crafted with precision and heartfelt expression.
What truly sets her apart was her ability to create an intimate and emotional connection with the audience. As she played, the music seemed to transcend the physical space, touching the hearts of everyone present. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as I walked down the aisle.
The versatility displayed by Selin was remarkable. She effortlessly transitioned from classical pieces to contemporary tunes, showcasing her adaptability and range as a musician.
Not only did Selin possess extraordinary talent, but she also demonstrated professionalism and a genuine commitment to ensuring the success of the wedding. She arrived prepared and was accommodating to our special requests.
I highly recommend Selin for any special event you are hosting. We were honored to have her be a part of our special day.
Selin was a wonderful addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Her music was so beautiful and really made our ceremony so special. During the cocktail hour she even sang along to some of her songs, guests kept telling me how much they loved listening to her! I only wish I was not off taking photos and I could listen to her more. Her services were very fairly priced as well, you will not regret hiring her for your event 🤍
Thank you for the amazing experience and making our wedding extra special. Highly recommended and impeccable promptness and professionalism.
Selin is so talented and brings great energy. Her big friendly smile is perfect and was so welcoming to our guests.
Thank you so much for sharing your musical talents at our wedding! All of our guests loved the songs that were carefully selected. We would highly recommend Selin for future events!
Amazing experience, would book again!
From the moment we started wedding planning, I knew I wanted to create a unique ceremony experience for ourselves and our guests. As a lifelong lover of stringed instruments, I knew the beauty of a violin would be the perfect addition to our big day. Upon searching, Selin’s talent quickly stood out from the rest. She is a versatile musician, a kind and respectful vendor, and a talented woman beyond measure. From booking to coordinating our songs to confirming the start and end times, Selin made our wedding not only easy but also incredibly meaningful. If you are looking for a responsive, elegant, and talented violinist for an event or wedding, I cannot recommend working with Selin enough! Cheers! Mr. & Mrs. Householder.
Due to the wonderful presence of Selin, that special moment of my only daughter walking down the aisle at her wedding became much more. She went the extra mile and learned special songs that I wanted, from a country song I sang to my daughter, to a song by Paganini for the father daughter dance. Selin did it and she did it well like the true professional that she is. She is a delightful person with tremendous warm and outgoing personality. Everyone from the bride and groom to the photographer just loved her being with us. There are many violinists but there is only one Selin. Truly outstanding!
Selin in INCREDIBLE!! We were so lucky to have her play at our wedding. She is super easy going and was a pleasure to work with. If you want to make your wedding memorable, hire Selin!
Selin was the best violinist for my wedding. She has such a good heart and is the sweetest person to work with. She made my wedding ceremony a dream come true with her beautiful violin playing. I requested Disney songs and she made my Disney dream a reality. I wish I had another wedding just so I could hear her play as I walk down the aisle again. I would recommend her for any event that you can possibly fit a violinist in.
Seline played during the ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding! We & all the guests were thrilled with her performance! The violin was the perfect choice for our event! She was incredibly polite, communicative, and easy to work with. Guests raved about her and her wonderful talent! We couldn't be happier! She sounded AMAZING! :)

This past September 25th, 2022 we had Selin perform as our wedding violinist. She did an amazing job with her background music. She dressed appropriately for the event and played beautifully throughout the ceremony. As both my wife and I believed, her music made our event extraordinary. She also performed during our cocktail hour, providing again beautiful music with her violin and singing, as well. We highly recommend her services for your special day. You will have a memorable day to always remember. She was professional and perfect in her music and poise.
I truly cannot say enough great things about Selin! From the moment I reached out to see if she was available for our special day until our wedding day she was so responsive and sweet. I wasn’t sure what songs I wanted her to play during our ceremony so she sent me a full list of great ideas which was so helpful.
After watching her videos on Instagram I knew she was good but holy cow hearing her play at our ceremony was epic!! It totally took our ceremony to the next level and we received sooo many compliments on how good she was!
If you’re wondering if you should book her, do it. You absolutely will not regret it!
Thank you so much, Selin for making our day that much more special!! You were incredible! ❤️😊
Selin with Selin esko violin was amazing to work with!!!! The professionalism comes naturally to her when it comes to reservations, contracts and payments. It goes to show how efficiently she runs her own business. An a whole other note, selin is an extremely talented professional and was able to perform perfectly what I requested. I literally asked her to play to Dr Dre and she turned it into art!! The artistry that she brought complimented my wedding day amazingly and I will further recommend her to anyone! ❤️
Selin was a beautiful addition to our wedding. She helped us set the tone and create such an intimate ceremony that beautifully transitioned to cocktail hour. The essence of the live violin music made walking down the aisle that much more magical. We received SO many compliments from our guests about her; she was truly the talk of the night. She is beyond sweet and her passion and personality really shine. We are so happy we booked her and hope to have her again in other special moments of our lives!
Selin is not only amazing to work with, she is an incredible entertainer. She blew every expectation out of the water. Selin played our ceremony music and our cocktail hour. Every single person at the wedding complement her performance.
Selin is a must book entertainer!
Selin was absolutely amazing! I hired her to play violin during my wedding ceremony and during cocktail hour. From the date I hired her to the end of the night she was responsive, easy to get a hold of and always had a positive attitude... especially when we had to change up the ceremony venue last minute due to monsoon like rain!! She went with the flow and played beautifully as I walked down the aisle. All of my guests were in LOVE with her talent and they were amazed when she started singing during cocktail hour!! I got so many compliments from wedding guests on how talented she is. If you are thinking of hiring a violinist to play at any point during your wedding or event, I highly recommend Selin! She provides a list of music you can choose from and will even learn a new song if needed. You will not be disappointed!
Selin is incredible at what she does!!! She is able to both calm and excite the crowd with her music. Outstanding vocals and never misses a beat on the violin! One of my favorite things about her talent is that she can freestyle any song you request. A true musician!
Esko Violin is an amazing provider. I had the pleasure to witness them and their amazing skills in multiple weddings. The amazing vibe and amazing music snd voice will win every one over and make the day so super special! Highly recommend them!
Selin is the ultimate professional to work with! She is fun and energetic and translates that into her performance! Not only does she play violin, she has such a beautiful voice! 10000% recommend Selin for your special event!
Selin is an amazing Musician! She's enormously talented on the Violin and has a beautiful singing voice! She kept our guests smiling and dancing all evening!
Selin took my wedding to the next level. Her gorgeous playing and presence made my wedding feel like a six figure wedding. She even learned a song from my favorite band, Tool, and it was the icing on the cake! 100/10 would recommend!
I'm not the one who hired this amazingly talented young woman but I do A/V setup at Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale (AZ) and I had the pleasure of meeting her while I was setting up my equipment and she was so sweet and polite and very friendly. Since I was working the audio for the wedding officiant and she had her speaker and stand setup right next to me I got a front row seat to watch her work her magic. When she started playing her electric violin (i think that's what it was) she blew me away. Not just the beautiful music she was playing with her instrument and speaker but also by how loud her little speaker was! Then when the ceremony was over, I helped her carry her equipment to the ballroom foyer area where she would be performing for cocktail hour. Once she was setup again, she started singing too! I was blown away again! She had a beautiful, strong voice. On top of all that she's very easy on the eyes ;) If I ever get married I'm definitely giving her a call. I highly recommend this young lady.
Response from Selin Eskandarian Violinist:
Raul! This is the sweetest review thank you!!!!! Not only did you help me so much, you wrote this review for me. I am in tears! Thank you Raul!!!! This is beyond appreciated!
She went above and beyond all of our expectations even with a windstorm she had back up equipment when her original equipment was damaged from the wind. Most definitely recommended for any occasion and we will have her perform for more occasions for us in the future…
If you are contemplating or on your list of wants of hiring a violinist for your wedding or any event just do it and run to snag your date with Selin Esko Violinist! Words can’t even explain how she added that special touch to our ceremony. Instant chills down my arms when I heard her start to play. Our guest are still raving about her! Selin thank you again for everything!! ❤️
We recently booked Selin as a violinist for our cocktail party and we cannot say enough great things about her! She was punctual, friendly, entertaining, engaging and an outstanding violinist. She is incredibly talented and would be a sure success for any event. We highly recommend Selin and look forward to booking her in the future.
Selin was amazing to work with and she is such a talented musician. I surprised my fiancée and Selin was present playing the violin and it made the moment truly magical.
Military funeral. Her violin playing was the perfect touch to a somber occasion. She arrived on time and was dressed in black. She adapted well to the occasion even though it was not rehearsed ahead of time. I highly recommend her for your event.
Selin Esko played the violin and sang at my wedding shower and she was so great! She is talented and so fun to work with. I recommend her to anyone for their event. Your guests will talk about her long after the event! Highly recommended!
There are not enough kind and wonderful things to say about Selin. She’s so talented. As a private-event DJ/MC, I’m constantly working with live musicians. Most are late. Unprofessional. Untalented. Divas. Selin is sweet, talented and professional. Whether providing instrumental or vocals for your event, hire Selin and create a statement to you guests that they won’t forget!
Selin filled a special request and performed as 'Cleopatra' for our Egyptian themed wedding. My wife and I love her so much we're still all friends to this day!
Selin is so amazing. I love all her music. Super talented and shes so pretty! I highly recommend. 5 stars ⭐️
Selin is just the best! She helped make our experience magical and memorable! If you hire another performer are you even married???
I’ve always dreamt of a perfect ceremony & celebration like everything going on smoothly and flawlessly. The music was a challenge and kinda scary to decide...but working with Selin was a walk in the park. Easy to work with & is always willing to share her knowledge as to what type of music that’s just perfectly right for the whole occasion.
She’s a total package. BTW, she can sing, too!
Selin is just the best! A consummate performer who goes all out. I love that she took the time to prepare the song/music list and the intermission music is even on theme. Selin is also a looker and dresses up for the occasion, a truly stunning musical and visual addition to the event. A must book!
Selin’s performance made our wedding unbelievably special! She brought our wedding to another level of elegance and magic! She played the violin for guest arrival, ceremony, and cocktail hour. Everyone was blown away by her talent. She really set the tone for the wedding. She is also a beautiful person inside and out and was absolutely wonderful to work with! Do not hesitate to book her. I cannot day enough wonderful things about her or her performance.
Met Selin at a Wedding Expo.
My Fiance and I felt inlove with Selin the moment we heard her singing and playing the Violin. She had all the qualities we were looking for our Wedding.
