  Wonderful musicianship and professional communication

  We chose ViolinMari to provide a violin-viola duo for our wedding and cocktail hour, and we couldn't have been happier with the choice! Leading up to the event, Mari was proactive and professional with communications. She worked with us to help us choose the perfect songs for our ceremony to match the tone we wanted. Her available selection had everything we needed, but we had a couple unusual requests for songs that were special to us and she was happy to accommodate with custom arrangements. To help us decide between a couple songs, she made recording so we could hear what the string versions would sound like, and she also sent audio files of the custom arrangements so we could listen in advance and know they met our expectations. Mari provided classical music for the ceremony and contemporary for the cocktail hour, and we were pleased with all of it. We loved the tone the music set, and our guests loved the music, too!

  Beautiful violinist for our Wedding

  Mari was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was very responsive to questions and requests throughout the process. We had a destination wedding at the Biltmore in Asheville, NC and she made the process so easy to plan from long distance. She created a violin cover of one of our favorite songs and her performance was beautiful. We would definitely recommend Mari for anyone looking for a skilled and professional violinist.

  She is amazing!

  If you are looking for elegant music, I highly recommend Mari! She is incredibly talented, quick with her response, and so easy to work with! She even learned a song that I have always wanted played for my wedding ceremony and she sent me several recorded versions and scheduled a call with me to ensure I was happy. We loved that she had a wide range of music to choose from and everyone we spoke too had such positive comments regarding her music during our wedding ceremony! We HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Mari!!

  Professional, talented, great communicator

  Working with Mari was an absolute pleasure! She delivered a stunning performance during our ceremony, offering a wide variety of songs to choose from. She went above and beyond, collaborating seamlessly with a local harpist for a beautiful duet. Her communication was excellent, making the song selection, day of planning and payment process easy. Professional in every aspect, she dressed elegantly and performed with grace. Highly recommend her for any event!

  Most Talented and Professional Violinist!

  I was incredibly fortunate to find Mari about six months before our Daughter’s wedding. When we started to plan for music, we realized that having a violinist perform at the wedding would be so wonderful, dreamy and extremely memorable! So, we found Mari and contacted her! She responded right away… we had so many questions and corresponded over many emails and texts!…even adding a guitarist to play along with her! She was always extremely kind and professional… prompt with her communication! She coordinated everything for us and was happy to later change from playing with a guitarist to a Harpist! The performance was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Wish we could give 10 Stars!

  Emily, Thank you so much for taking your time to write this sweet message! The harpist and I loved putting together and rehearsing your setlist. The song requests were beautiful, just like your daughter's wedding day!

  A Beautifully Played Set

  Mari is a gem to work with! She is very organized and prepared which helped us feel less stressed on our big day. Her lovely violin playing was definitely a top favorite wedding day moment of ours and our guests too! We had a Legend of Zelda themed wedding and she was able to play all of the songs we wanted during our ceremony. 10/10 service; totally recommend!

  Amazing professionalism and top notch playing

  Mari was fantastic. I asked Mari to put together an eclectic mix of music, mostly video game music arranged for string quartet. Song of the music wasn’t already arranged for string quartet and she arranged them herself or tweaked existing music to sound perfect. Mari was very communicative, punctual, and extremely organized, and all of the musicians were very professional and the playing was top notch.

  An Amazing and Budget Friendly Musician

  Working with Mari was a breeze. She even helped us planning! Having a violinist play live played a huge role in making our day a success. Not to mention she was more affordable than other artist we spoke to. Our guests absolutely loved everything she played. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a great live musician who is also affordable.
