  Magical unique tunes perfect for outdoor wedding

  Ilona & Jeff brought true magic to our outdoor wedding in Joshua Tree national park this spring. They mastered “wildflowers” and “here comes the sun” as requested and played 2 hours of joyful tunes that our guests absolutely loved during cocktail hour. The violin ukelele combo is truly unique and magical and our guests raves about the unique and playful ambiance it brought to that special moment. These tunes truly made our first married hours extra special.
  
  We went out on a limb slightly over our budget for this but have no regrets! Guest have reached out to tell me how much they loved that part of the wedding. They were a great team, smooth communication, and timely and professional. Highly recommended to add a special musical touch to any event.

  Violin & Ukulele Added Whimsy to our Wedding!

  Ilona and Jeffmost definitely exceeded the high expectations we set for our beach wedding!! They did an amazing job playing violin & ukulele music before, during and after our wedding ceremony. After that first hour, they added percussion for the coctail hour. My husband loves 90s alternative, and so do many of our guests. They were delighted and surprised to hear Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun and Led Zeppelin's Kashmir alongside symphonies and Hawaiian standards. I highly recommend them. Their playlist is unbelievable!

  Amazing duo

  Had a small out door wedding at Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach and Ilona & Jeff have been absolutely amazing. Their performance was beyond anything we could of asked for, worth every penny. They were easy to work with, music was beautiful and super flexible during the entire time. We would definitely use them again for any future venues and thank you so much for making the wedding so memorable.

  Thanks so much, John! We had a great time playing at such a beautiful location! The ocean front weather was amazing, the bride and groom looked fantastic, and you did a wonderful job coordinating the whole day. We loved the boba tea and getting to play our extended version of “Canon in D.” Thanks for your kind words!!!

  Such an amazing vendor for your wedding or special event

  My husband and I got married in Malibu on September 12, 2021. The violin and ukulele combination stood out to me when I was searching online because it felt like it had the beachy yet classic vibe that our wedding was going to be. Jeff and Ilona exceeded my expectations and were so wonderful to work with- which as a bride- a communicative and reliable vendor is extremely important! They were so responsive and flexible to our needs and their play list is extremely extensive- they can play just about anything from classics to todays hits! My guests were so impressed with their performance and are still mentioning how beautiful and unique this duo was for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you to Jeff and Ilona I hope I am able to use you again in the future!

  Amazing Musicians

  You were so easy to work with, and very professional! You sounded amazing for our outdoor ceremony. You responded to all of my emails promptly, you were very polite about it when my new wife wanted to change all of the ceremony songs a few days before, and you arrived for the ceremony in plenty of time to set up and get situated. I only wish we could’ve spent more time listening to you! It’s so awesome to hear Coldplay and Queen performed by such amazing classically trained musicians. I’ve already recommended you guys to a few people at our wedding that were asking about where we found you. Thanks again!

  Thank you very much Dante, we enjoyed playing for you! You had quite the energetic cocktail crowd. It’s not often that we get to play our ‘80s and ‘90s repertoire, so it was fun to have your guests make those oddball requests 😃. Congratulations again, and we wish you and Stephanie lots of love!

  Better than a string quartet

  This group is the greatest!! We had guests complimenting them all evening. I didn't think we'd find such talented and flexible musicians that could play such beautiful music for our ceremony but then switch to pop tunes for our cocktails! Our guests loved hearing Bruno Mars and Bob Marley during our cocktail hour. I'm so glad my wife decided to go with these amazing musicians instead of just a boring string quartet or guitar player! This group really raises the bar for unbelievable music for your wedding ceremony or cocktails. I've recommend them to lots of people already . . . they're highly professional people that will make your wedding sound great.

  Best wedding music ever!!

  OMG, you guys were amazing!!! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about what a great idea it was to have your violin & ukulele duet play instead of just a string quartet or guitarist. You made our ceremony and cocktails come alive! I would strongly recommend you to any other couple that wants their ceremony music to be more elegant and special than a typical wedding. And you were so friendly and easy to talk to. I especially loved how you switched from classical music on the ukulele for the ceremony (thanks for playing that Bach song for me!) to pop tunes for the rest of the evening. Thanks again, you made our day awesome!! 😀

  Thanks Emily, and congrats again! We had a blast playing for your big day. Thanks for the kind words, and we hope you both had as much fun on your honeymoon as you did dancing at the reception!
