The Best!!

I worked with Olivia, Leah and Joseph and they were truly a pleasure!!! I had a lot of songs that were out of the norm (white wedding, patience, linger, etc.) and they easily came up with ways to make them sound good with a violin and viola!! I received a lot of compliments about the ceremony music!! Highly recommend this group and it’s members!!!

I could not be more pleased with Olivia's Violin! She is incredibly talented, kind and professional. She even learned a song for me to walk in to and it was perfect. Her music was the perfect detail to tie my ceremony together. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is!

I know that this review is long overdue- but I needed to post it!

Olivia was the BEST and most professional violinist I could have ever hoped for. She learned an entirely new song that I had my heart set on, River Flows in You by Yiruma. She NAILED IT!!! I could have not asked for a better entrance. She was very responsive with emails, she kept me on schedule (I was scattered at times during planning) and she helped pick all of the entrance music for the entire ceremony. I had a nightmare experience with another vendor and she completely erased that memory. If you are on the fence of having a violinist, BOOK HER and while you're at it, BOOK HER CELLIST too!!

Thank you Olivia- you really are the best.

As an industry professional, I coordinate 70 + events a year. "Olivia's Violin" is my default choice for violin (and other classic instruments to accompany her violin). Timely, professional and (of course) talented. A core vendor I can always depend upon to deliver the best for my couple.

For our ceremony we did not know exactly what we wanted as far as what the violinist would play. We knew we wanted a violinist to play for the ceremony. Olivia was so helpful. She offered music pieces and the music others suggested she gave her input how to include them. She made suggestions on the order of the music to be played. She was very patient with us helping us to decide the best selection for our ceremony. Olivia was open to non tradition ceremony pieces. Although not necessary in the end, Olivia was committed to learning new pieces in time for the ceremony had we requested them.

We made an excellent choice when we asked Olivia to play for our ceremony. We know you will feel the same when she is your violinist for your special occasion.

My wife Jenna and I got married back in April and selected Olivia to produce our ceremony music. She did a wonderful job working with us even leaning a new piece per my wife's request for the processional. I'd highly recommend working with Olivia. Very professional and great value as well!

We had Olivia as a solo violinist at our outdoor wedding and she did an amazing job with the song selections and worked seemlessly with our wedding coordinator when it came time to change songs for the processional! It was so pleasant listening to her prelude while waiting to start the wedding - we highly recoommend Olivia's services to anyone interested in kicking their music up a notch! :)

Thanks Olivia!!

When you meet Olivia in person it’s immediate that she is the musical link to your wedding fantasy soon to become reality. She gave excellent advice and helped make a fantastic compilation for our outdoor interfaith ceremony. She even incorporated our love for masterpiece theater by incorporating the theme song in the postlude. The day wouldn’t have been the same without her!
