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!
