Wonderful musicianship and professional communication

We chose ViolinMari to provide a violin-viola duo for our wedding and cocktail hour, and we couldn't have been happier with the choice! Leading up to the event, Mari was proactive and professional with communications. She worked with us to help us choose the perfect songs for our ceremony to match the tone we wanted. Her available selection had everything we needed, but we had a couple unusual requests for songs that were special to us and she was happy to accommodate with custom arrangements. To help us decide between a couple songs, she made recording so we could hear what the string versions would sound like, and she also sent audio files of the custom arrangements so we could listen in advance and know they met our expectations. Mari provided classical music for the ceremony and contemporary for the cocktail hour, and we were pleased with all of it. We loved the tone the music set, and our guests loved the music, too!

Professional, talented, great communicator

Working with Mari was an absolute pleasure! She delivered a stunning performance during our ceremony, offering a wide variety of songs to choose from. She went above and beyond, collaborating seamlessly with a local harpist for a beautiful duet. Her communication was excellent, making the song selection, day of planning and payment process easy. Professional in every aspect, she dressed elegantly and performed with grace. Highly recommend her for any event!

Most Talented and Professional Violinist!

I was incredibly fortunate to find Mari about six months before our Daughter’s wedding. When we started to plan for music, we realized that having a violinist perform at the wedding would be so wonderful, dreamy and extremely memorable! So, we found Mari and contacted her! She responded right away… we had so many questions and corresponded over many emails and texts!…even adding a guitarist to play along with her! She was always extremely kind and professional… prompt with her communication! She coordinated everything for us and was happy to later change from playing with a guitarist to a Harpist! The performance was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Wish we could give 10 Stars!
