About

Hire an experienced music professional for your special event. My name is Abby Nixon, and I am a full-time musician with a degree in music performance. As an active member of the Philadelphia music community, I play regularly with a wide variety of groups from many genres (jazz, folk, rock, etc). I specialize in weddings and events, with a large repertoire ranging from light classical acoustic insturments to plugged in jazz and rock, solo strolling violin to reception group. I offer a free consultation for all my clients to discuss the options available for your particular event, giving you an opportunity to listen to a sampling of my repertoire. I also offer a variety of high quality ensembles, from solo violins and string quartets, to contemporary violin/guitar/bass trios for a lively party vibe. I make every effort to tailor my services to your preferences and taste, and I endeavor to give you a memorable and unique performance.

Magical Ceremony Music!

The violinist we originally hired had a last minute conflict and we were stuck without ceremony music. Abby saved the day and stepped in! She was kind, professional, and a sheer joy to work with. Hire her and you won't regret it!

Versatile Beautifuly Playing Violinst

I feel like I hit the jackpot when I came across Abby! I knew that i wanted a violinist but really wasn't sure what I wanted past that point. Abby worked with me and suggested a few songs which were perfect. Abby played everything from classical, modern (Game of Thrones) and finally Irish Folk music. She was on board immediately with all my crazy ideas and helped arrange the music with my pianist which I already had through the church. Abby played beautifully with her without meeting her prior to the wedding. She worked directly with the pianist to be sure that they had the same pieces of music to play which helped lighten my load of tasks that I needed to get through. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and I could not be more pleased.

What a wonderful experience we had working with Abby! I reached out to her early on in the wedding planning process and she was always extremely helpful and responsive. She listened to my vision and had so many great suggestions along the way. We decided to have her play during both our Catholic Wedding Mass (with a cellist that she provided) and our reception cocktail hour (with a pianist that she also provided). Walking down the aisle to the sound of strings playing Pachelbel's Canon was one of the most beautiful and surreal experiences of my life. We received so many compliments from our guests telling us how beautiful her music was. Abby is a true professional and incredibly talented! We could not be happier with our decision to have her part of our special day-- she truly gave us a magical day that we will never forget! I could not recommend her more for your special occasion.

I recently partnered with AbbyMusique, performing together at weddings and events throughout the Tri-State area. Her skill and professionalism were unmatched! She performed for Cocktail Hour at an Open House at Phoenixville Country Club, exceeding everyone's expectations! The guests and staff were raving about her music, and the fun, positive vibes she brought along with her. I am happy to recommend and endorse Abby, and look forward to many events together in the future!
