Qi was exactly what we were looking for at our wedding ceremony. She provided a large selection of songs to choose from that covered each aspect of the ceremony. She then wooed our guest during the cocktail hour with beautiful background music.

I wanted to plan a wonderful engagement surprise for my now-fiancé, and I thought a violin would really set it apart. I can truthfully say she did not disappoint and made the night one to remember forever. Working with her from the start was smooth, and she was very open to the songs I hoped to hear. If you're looking for someone to elevate your event, I highly recommend booking Solo Violin and More for any occasion.
As my fiancé and I move into the next stage of wedding planning, we keep saying how incredible she was—it would be great to have her play at the wedding in some capacity, too. I can't say enough positive things about our experience, and how much joy she brought to my fiancé, especially as she realized the violin was part of the big ask, playing some of her favorite songs as we soaked in the moment
Outstanding in all ways! Excellent musician and professional.

My mother’s dying wish was to have a string trio of classical musicians play at her graveside service. After the first group of musicians we found was not able to perform the day before the service, Qi quickly responded and was able to play the next day. The string trio she brought together was the absolute highlight of the service and everyone commented about how lovely the music was. Not only was Qi professional and prompt in her communication, she put me at ease about the outcome of the service. She was easily able to work with the minister around the program with little notice and selected pieces that were just perfect. I thank Qi and the trio for bringing their beautiful art to this service. I am so grateful.

Qi was amazing! She provided a comprehensive list of songs she plays, allowing us to pick which ones we wanted for our wedding day. All my family enjoyed the music. Only thing I wish I had done was book her for more time!!!!

Solo Violin was amazing, communicative and professional. She was very easy to work with. She kept in touch with me until the day of the event and showed up on time. She was also very courteous and a pleasure to have play at my wedding. Lastly, she did an amazing job playing the songs that were on the list to play. I would totally recommend her for any event.
Thank you :)
