Unforgettable Performance - A Highlight of our Wedding

I took the lead on planning most of our wedding, and one of the decisions I’m most proud of was asking Valentina to play during our cocktail hour. She was amazing to work with—super responsive, easy to talk to, and just so passionate about what she does.

From the start, she helped us figure out which songs would really sound great on string instruments and which ones might need a different vibe or type of instrument. That guidance was honestly so helpful—she made it easy for us to make the right choices without overthinking it.

On the day of the wedding, they showed up right on time, totally prepared, and started playing beautifully as our guests began to arrive. I can’t even count how many people came up to us to say how incredible the music was. They created such a great atmosphere—elegant, warm, and full of life. It was exactly the energy we were hoping for to kick off the evening.

Beyond the music, I can say that Valentina is just a wonderful person—friendly, easygoing, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have had her be part of the day.

Thank you very much for making our day so special!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
