uld play a song that wasn’t on her original list of songs and she learned it within weeks. It made me walking down the aisle that much more perfect and special! I also had a ton of guests compliment her music days after. If you’re considering a violinist, Alivea is the one!

Wow is all I can say, we were stunned by how amazing Alivea was with her violin. We hired her for our wedding prelude, the walks down and from the aisle, and for the cocktail hour ...
and everyone could not stop talking about her!! She absolutely rocked it and we were blown away by how good she was. She was also great with communication and very professional in helping us with song recommendations before the ceremony begins while people are being seated, as well as for cocktail hour, etc. She was extremely professional and well dressed (black tie wedding), was on time, and we did not have to worry one bit about her throughout the entire process as a vendor.
Our ceremony was outside and she did so incredible. We could not be happier with her, and were so glad that we chose Alivea!!
THANK YOU!!! Our day was perfect!!!

Alivea was the best addition to our ceremony we could have dreamt of! She was very professional and blew us and our guests away with her beautiful talent. She had a contract for us...
outlining the business side of things, a huge list of songs in her library as well as availability to learn new songs if requested. She knows a great mix of classical as well as famous hits you hear on the radio. If you want to add a little bit of uniqueness with a side of tradition to your wedding or event, I promise you Alivea will over exceed your expectations.

20 min late, but Alivea went with the flow and played until we were ready to walk. I couldn't be happier with our experience. I would definitely recommend Alivea for your event!
