My fiance, Ryan, proposed to me on a rooftop overlooking Chicago in June. It was such a wonderful surprise that I didn't see coming! To top it all off he had hired Joe to play the violin while he was proposing, which just made the event all the more romantic. Joe is an excellent violinist and I would recommend him for any wedding/engagement ceremony.

We booked Virtuoso Violin for our May wedding and they were GREAT - I'm glad we did! They are worth every penny we spent on them and were very professional.

All of our guests had a great time and the music was enjoyed by all age groups. If we have another event, we will definitely hire them again!

I highly recommend them!!

Joe was fantastic. He gave us everything we asked for and more--guests were raving about him for weeks afterward! Joe gave us the extra touch we wanted at our wedding, helping make our ceremony feel more intimate and romantic. He is courteous and extremely talented. I'd hire him all over again!
