September 2020 Wedding - Violin Solo

Vicki did a wonderful job playing at our wedding on September 4, 2020. She played for both the ceremony and for cocktail hour. She made it easy to choose the music for the ceremony. She had a large list of song choices and was able to play others that were not listed. It was very easy to work with and always responded to emails quickly. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a violinist at a wedding or another event. Thank you Vicki!

Talented and professional - highly recommended!

Vicki did a fantastic job playing at our wedding! She is a great musician and collaborated well with our DJ, which was one less thing for us to worry about before the ceremony. She was even willing to transcribe a song that wasn't part of her existing repertoire for us, just to help make our day extra special. We would definitely recommend Vicki to anyone in need of a solo violinist!

Beautiful music!!

Vicki’s violin and guitar made our wedding! Such beautiful music and she required so little direction. She even learned a new song for us at no additional charge. Really great experience!

I can't thank Ms. Berckmann enough. I recently officiated a wedding where she was the violinist and I knew right away she was a total pro. Beyond her obvious musical talents what impressed me was all the "behind the scenes" activity that brides and grooms never see (and shouldn't have to). Ms. Berckmann coordinated with me regarding musical cues and all the other logistics that go with delivering a perfect wedding ceremony. Your guests will be impressed and you will not have to worry about a thing when you hire Violin by Vicki for your event.
