  Erin was the best!

  Erin was awesome! She was super flexible with her schedule and made our engagement amazing with her music. Everything was so last minute and she ran into some obstacles at the proposal venue, but made adjustments on the fly and the moment just perfect. HIRE HER!!!

  I engaged Erin and her brother Tal Spackman to play for my father's funeral. Understandably I was stressed, rushed and not communicating my desires very well. I wanted to avoid the connection of my father's death and Thanksgiving, so it was imperative that things move quickly. I'm not even sure I started looking for musicians prior to 2 days before the funeral. I started by requesting quotes from singing pianists which morphed into a violinist and a pianist with no singing. I can understand the reluctance a musician would have to play a funeral and Erin was no different. Some how her response changed when she sensed my agony and desperation. She used a very delicate touch to find just what was in my mind's eye for the funeral music. I started with a list of hymns that my dad had indicated he wanted in his funeral and I soon realized that the funeral just needed to be memorable and peaceful. My 88 year old mother, who has no short term memory, tapped me on the shoulder five times during the service to tell me how much she loved the music. I think that is the ultimate review. A woman fighting through her grief at the loss of a 60 year partnership to notice the beautiful music. It was perhaps not the best venue to showcase her talent and she knew that she wasn't the show, she was the atmosphere and it was heavenly. I will forever be indebted to Erin and her brother for making the 100 mile trek from San Antonio to a little country church to play a funeral for less than 100 guests.

  My daughter and I knew that we wanted her ceremony music to be special. We are so glad we found Erin. Erin was so responsive and easy to work with. She handled our special requests with the upmost kindness. She and Tal even learned a favorite song and accompanied our vocalist on it. I can't tell you how much that meant to us! We recently received the wedding video and am reminded of how much we appreciated having Erin and Tal be a part of it! The music is really important and sets the tone. Thank you, Erin!

  Erin and Tal played at my Corporate Event on Monday, March 13th in San Antonio. They did a wonderful job and we received a lot of great feedback on the music. I would 100% refer Erin and Tal to play at any event!
  
  Thank you for the great job!

  Erin did a great job the day of my wedding providing beautiful violin music that I requested. She also did a great job leading up to the wedding making sure everything was in order and being on top of what music needs to be played and showed up at the wedding ceremony 30 min. early. She was very helpful in helping choose music. I would definitely recommend her. Shes very professional and great at her job!

  Erin was very responsive, flexible, and was even able to help us find a sound technician. Her music sounded great and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a quality musician!

  I can't say enough good things about our experience with Erin. She was responsive and accommodating on fairly short notice. My son's wedding was an outdoor event about 1 1/2 hours from San Antonio. Erin made suggestions on the music selections to play before and after the ceremony and they were perfect. I highly recommend Erin for any type of event.

  Erin played for our daughter's wedding last month and was just simply incredible. She worked with us in coordinating the music played at both the ceremony and the reception. Erin arrived early to the event and was very professional in both her playing and appearance. She even covered for us when we had a small delay before walking down the isle and the guests were made unaware. Erin set up at two locations during the reception and played wonderful music while we dined. She even played a few special requests from the guests!
  
  Erin is a violinist with a large repertoire and who can create the ambiance for a beautiful wedding. I hope to hear her play again someday!

  Erin is an absolute pleasure to work with! Due to my busy schedule, I was never able to meet with her in person, which only left us with email communications. She was very quick to respond and was very easy to work with. My only regret was not being able to meet her in person! When the wedding was over, we got busy taking pictures and I wasn't able to formally thank her. She's so awesome and I will recommend to anyone and everyone! She's truly an angel!

  Erin and her brother were easy work with, price was "spot on" and choice of music was ours to make. Can't go wrong when you're working with two professionals.

  We had Erin and another musician that she helped arrange for play at our wedding. They provided chamber music while our guests socialized between the ceremony and the luncheon. We knew our guests would have to wait while we would be busy with the photographer. It made that waiting period feel special and part of the event. Erin is easy to work with and very professional. She offered to take any special requests that we had. In the end we left the music selection to her and couldn't be more pleased. We had several friends comment that the music added to the ambiance. We got to hear the last 15 minutes when we arrived and can attest to her musical talent as well. You won't be disappointed.

  With so much going on right before my wedding, I'll be perfectly honest; I gave very little instructions or direction to Erin about the music to play for the ceremony. She was such a professional though, she showed up early, touched base with my wedding coordinator, and played such lovely music for the ceremony. I really appreciated someone who was so flexible and on their game.
