About

Great Wedding Music adds memorable moments to your wedding ceremony through solo violin music. Violin sounds beautiful in indoor acoustics as well as outdoors. If more musicians are needed for chamber music effect another violin and cello can be added. Great Wedding Music delivers music in Portland and surrounding areas. Classical music selections, folk music and contemporary songs are available as needed. We can help you to pick the right selections for the ceremony or you can give me a list of your favorite pieces.

You can find more information about Great Wedding Music on Facebook. You can call, e-mail or text us to make a contact. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Exceptional!

Super punctual, and communication with her was very smooth from the start. She is highly professional and an exceptional violinist—her performance was simply beautiful. She was also incredibly flexible with all the changes that came up, even on the day of my wedding. Truly amazing. I 10000% recommend her and hope to have her at future weddings of my friends and family.

Professional and amazing Musician!

Elisa was very professional to work with, she was flexible in learning a new song for my Daughter’s wedding and did a beautiful job of making the wedding extra special with expert violin playing. It was just the perfect touch to a perfect day!
I looked around a lot and Elisa was priced very reasonably. We felt like we got an outstanding musician for a lot less money than some of the other vendors were charging. I highly recommend Elisa!!

Absolute GEM! We LOVED Elisa!

Elisa was an absolute professional, and an integral part to the romance and festivities of our wedding!! She was responsive, kind, and hugely helpful! We asked Elisa to perform at our ceremony, during our cocktail hour, and for our first dance. Amazing. We did both violin solos, and tied in with some background music.
THANK YOU Elisa for your generous approach to our wedding music!! She learned a bunch of new songs for us, and nailed it! I couldn't be more thrilled

Outdoor Wedding

I let the vendor know I was having an outdoor elopement type wedding and she was very accommodating everything seemed fine. I asked the vendor if I needed to provide anything and she said no. Well come day of wedding it was Raining and she then says she needs someone to hold the umbrella for her which she did not even have. My mom missed everything due to this and she flew out here from CA for this. If I was told ahead of time that I needed to provide someone to hold this for her I would have went with someone else. The vendor should have had an umbrella and a stand to hold it knowing the wedding is outdoors in Portland, Oregon in November. She did not stay the 2 hours paid as I was not going to have my mom hold the umbrella for 2 hours.

Good Music, Bad Professionalism

We thought that hiring Great Wedding Music would be an amazing touch to our ceremony. We first inquired her to play violin as well as bring someone to play cello with her. We had a phone call a few weeks before the wedding to go over what songs we wanted and when to have her start playing. We decided for her to play as guests were being seated and when I walked down the aisle. Elisa showed up late and didn't start playing music as our guests were being seated. She had to be told by our day of coordinator and maid of honor to start playing. From my maid of honor, she said that she was being rude to her when she was asked to start playing. I let her know that as our flower man started to walk to stop playing so the DJ could play his song. She kept playing through it. The communication was bad after I told her I would like a partial refund since there was no cellist. It's been months and still no refund.
