We were so lucky to have Lisa sing at our wedding. Her vocal performance was absolutely beautiful and made the moment even more magical. She was very happy to learn specific song we requested and delivered them perfectly. We received so many comments from our wedding guests on how they loved Lisa’s voice and how it moved them. I highly recommend!

Olga and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with. It was one of the best string quartets we’ve ever heard. The musicality was beyond amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests. Our requested songs sounded better than we ever could have imagined. The quartet was professional and there were no hurdles whatsoever in the process. Olga was always around if we had any questions and we could not thank them enough for their wonderful work. Highly recommend NY Music Entertainment to anyone who needs musical services as Olga and her team are extremely talented and skilled.

Natalie was such a wonderful addition to our wedding day! She played the violin at both our church wedding ceremony and our day of ceremony at the venue and cocktail hour. Her music was such an elegant touch to the day. Natalie was professional, responsive and so easy to work with. She checked in several times to make sure everything was going to be perfect for our day and it was. I would highly recommend to have Natalie as part of your celebration!

I highly recommend James as a guitar player for your wedding. James had excellent communication from our first email. He shared what to expect on the day of our wedding and was very accommodating, answering our questions. He showed up on time and was very professional the entire time and was so friendly and happy. He played songs as our guests walked in, and then played a few processional songs that we selected from a nice list he provided. He took cues very well from my day of coordinator, and played the exact songs when we needed them to be played. During cocktail hour, he played songs from his repertoire that matched the mood very well. He played a gentle mix of classical, flamenco, jazz songs (maybe more genres!) As a solo musician, he doesn't take up a lot of real estate but he made a huge impact. We had multiple guests throughout the evening tell us how wonderful James was, how much they enjoyed his music. My husband appreciated that James is able to play his music on his own - he didn't use a background track to play on top of. James is also very gracious and kind. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work. I would not hesitate to hire him again for any future events.

Steph was a phenomenal addition to our wedding in Tuscany! She went above and beyond to tailor the performance to the vibe we were looking for. She was flexible, organized and extremely talented. She’s also a fun and friendly person who got along great with all of our other guests! We would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist in NYC or beyond, for a wedding or any other occasion.

Dwayne Beach of Jaguar Strings was an absolute pleasure to work with. I hired Jaguar Strings as the pre-ceremony entertainment for my wedding. Additionally, he played the procession song for the opening of my ceremony. Having live music for guests as they entered, as well as for my bridal party’s entrance made the moment feel so magical. His professionalism throughout the entire booking and performance process was commendable. He maintained a correspondence with me leading up to my wedding day, providing me with video/audio footage of him rehearsing the procession song I requested. He is extremely talented at his craft. My guests were raving about him! My only regret is not hiring his entire quartet to play for my cocktail hour!

Dr. Hardy is an amazing person just as he is a violinist. My husband and I first met Dr. Hardy at a wedding expo in NYC back in 2024. We saw him playing the violin and we were amazed. We had the honor of having him play at our wedding (Jan 2026) and he was phenomenal. All our guests enjoyed watching him play his violin and what we loved the most is that he played some songs that were not on the music list. If you give him time, he will learn the song you want to be played. Communicating with him was easy as he would always respond in a timely manor. Dr. Hardy thank you so much, you are truly the best. If you want a violinist, Dr. Hardy is the person you want.

The Live Digital Paintings done by the artists during our wedding reception were so flattering and quickly drawn! All the guests raved about their illustrated portraits and we saw them all on Instagram using our hashtag (my husband and my names combined). This is such a great idea and we're so happy to have had it at our wedding. Thank you to the whole team at Etta Shon Arts!

Arjana and Ivan completed our party — they are both extremely talented and warm. They did a particularly great job accommodating our requests and making all of us feel special. We highly recommend these musicians for any of your events.
