Amazing violinist- book Zhenya!

Honestly, Zhenya was amazing at our wedding. For my wife, having a violinist at our wedding was a must. Zhenya went above and beyond to make sure we had a great wedding. She met with my wife multiple times to ensure she knew what she wanted for the ceremony (a huge relief when there is so much going on to plan an Indian wedding).

Then during the ceremony, Zhenya was a complete badass! She not only played classic violin but put an amazing and fun spin on it. We got soooo many compliments on Zhenya. She also learned our first dance song to make a special moment for us possible. Zhenya far exceeded expectations and really went above and beyond to make our day special. I can’t say enough good things about her.

Maybe I’ll book her for our anniversary one year— just don’t tell my wife!

Incredible wedding violinist!

Zhenya was wonderful and helped us have the best wedding day we could imagine! She played every song we requested beautifully and our guests really enjoyed hearing her play during our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. She also was able to learn a new piece we requested only a few weeks before the wedding. I highly recommend her for elevating the experience of any special occasion!

Highly Recommend

I had a wonderful experience working with Zhenya. We had a call prior to my wedding to discuss my vision and what sort of music aesthetic I was going for. We agreed on a plan and Zhenya was an experienced professional who was also incredibly warm and kind on our phone call. She knew all the right questions to ask to prepare for the big day!

Day of Zhenya arrived early and made sure everything was set to make sure I got my vision. Zhenya's performances really was a highlight for our night. Our guests loved her performances. She plays the violin skillfully and beautifully and it really elevated our event!

We can't say thank you enough!

The music was beautiful! We received many compliments. She was also willing to learn a new song for me to walk down the aisle to when I couldn't decide on one I really wanted. Super professional and worked with me to fit my budget. Highly recommended!
