Sweet Ceremony!

Steven was great to work with from the beginning and he was so professional! He played for me via Zoom before we sealed the contract and that was very helpful! The music was beautiful and classy and I would recommend him for any lovely event!

Beautiful music for a beach wedding

Steven played absolutely beautiful for my wedding and during cocktail hour. The ceremony music was so nice!! It’s amazing hearing what we collaborated together brought to life by his talent. We were running behind so I heard him again at the end of cocktail hour but multiple guests came up to me to tell me how lovely he played. The music set the right tone for leading up to dinner. Thank you, again!

Look no further - you found your man!

Steve is an amazing violinist and knows exactly what to play and when. He adds class to any wedding. The best decision we made was to have Steve play at our son's wedding. He took care of everything, was prompt, easy to talk to, very understanding, very professional, friendly - we honestly can't say enough about how much we loved having him play at the wedding. Recommend 100%

perfect for an outside wedding!

He helped us pick out beautiful music and was flexible during the whole process. We ended up upgrading and had him play for 30 mins prior to the ceremony as guests arrived. It was the perfect touch to a beautiful ceremony!

The whole package

I gave Steve's performance as a wedding gift to a friend. He played the prelude, ceremony, and postlude. Listening to the prelude music while waiting for the ceremony to begin I heard multiple guests comment on how talented he was, and I couldn't agree more. He is absolutely the whole package and I highly recommend! He provided the sound equipment for the entire ceremony, not just his performance. He was professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process. Definitely book him for your event.

Great violinist

Steven played during the ceremony and cocktail hour of my husband and I's vow renewal, and we were thrilled with his performance. The violin was the perfect choice for our event, and Steven was happy to accommodate our out of the box ideas. He was incredibly polite, communicative, and easy to work with. Guests raved about him, and I couldn't be happier.
He sounded amazing!

My experience was amazing

Steven was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Steven was responsive, informative, and always kind during our interactions. During the wedding, Steven’s music was absolutely beautiful. I had family and friends approaching me all evening requesting to know who the violinist was because they were so impressed. I highly recommend my wedding violinist, you will not be disappointed.

Wedding Violinist

I found Steven at the last minute while planning my wedding. He was professional, warm and prompt. During covid, he reached out via facetime so I could see and hear all music selections. He helped me choose the best music that would best match our style of wedding. He arrived early and everyone enjoyed his pieces. Thank you for making our special day that much better.
