Splendid Violinist!

Nicole was so lovely and easy to work with. Our initial communications were clear and prompt. When we got closer to the day, she asked what we'd like to walk down the aisle to, and she was more than willing to accommodate our requests and was patient with my slight indecisiveness. On the day of, she made sure to touch base with my husband and the officiant to ensure a seamless ceremony, which was so appreciated! She played a beautiful assortment of music the entire time and provided the perfect ambience for our garden party wedding :)

Wonderful Walk Down the Aisle

Nicole was amazing!! We asked her to play the most random songs when we walked down the aisle and she did! Everything was perfect and beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a magical, romantic walk down the aisle (or funny like my husband who chose Mission Impossible)

Beautiful Music

We hired A Musician Is requesting a violinist and cellist for our ceremony. Our two musicians were incredibly talented; their music was beautiful. A Musician Is also has very competitive prices. I highly recommend them!

Perfect for private wedding

We had a small private backyard wedding and Nicole came and played for an hour for us. She was wonderful and played a great variety of some of our favorite songs! Everyone loved it! She was easy to communicate with, and very professional.

Amazing violinist for our ceremony, beautiful music and great song recommendations

Nikki is a pure joy to work with and so talented on the violin. She was able to suggest songs for our wedding (turned into vow renewal post-pandemic) that captivated our audience and brought me almost to tears. She was very easy to work with, professional, and just added a great touch to our ceremony.

Fantastic violinist

Nicole was super easy to work with, especially around COVID delays! She had good feedback/suggestions on music choices as well. The music was absolutely beautiful and all of my family members loved hearing music they didn't expect (LoTR, Disney songs). Wonderful musician who really tied the day together, thank you so much!

Easy to coordinate with!

I wanted a simple ceremony and had to plan it over the phone since I lived out of state. Nicole made it easy to book, easy to coordinate, and easy to have a lovely, simple ceremony. I asked her to play the instrumentals to modern songs and I love how they sounded! Nicole was very professional!

Wonderful!

Nicole did an absolutely amazing job! She was flexible with my planning and date changes and she took direction from the pastor easily - despite my lack of planning. Her talent as a violinist truly completed the wedding and everyone enjoyed the music she played. Thank you Nicole! I cannot tell you how much it meant to have you there!
