nating with our singer and pianist at the church, and with our DJ in our reception hall. Her music selection made the whole process really seamless from a planning standpoint, which I really appreciated. Working with her was really easy and for a stressed out bride, I can't say enough good things about that. We'd hire her for other events in a heart beat. Thank you Anna!

the arrangements for the aisle songs, she couldn't have been more helpful and it went perfectly. Anna came on time, played beautifully, added so much ambiance and was one of my favorite vendors to work with. So many guests came up to me praising her & how her having her play added to the atmosphere. Even my fiance who was on the fence of having a ceremony musician ended up thinking it was one of the best decisions we made. In hindsight, I would have hired her to play for longer! If you're unsure if you want a live musician, Anna will change your mind! 10/10 recommend!! Thank you, Anna!!

Professional and Poignant.
I was recommended Anna through a mutual friend, so I was not familiar with her at all before this experience. I reached out to book her for a friend’s proposal and it could not have gone better if she tried. She’s go...
t it all: a lengthy catalogue of songs to choose from (both classics and new stuff), speaker system with complimentary backing tracks, foot petal for other finishing touches on the sound. It sounds cliché, but we could not be more pleased with how it all turned out. For the quality of performance provided, this is a steal. To top it all off- she is the sweetest, bubbly person. Her warm personality really contributed to the experience, as it was very small and intimate.
Will absolutely be booking her again the next chance I get.

Anna is an incredibly talented violinist! We were initially only going to have the DJ play instrumental music during our ceremony, but ended up deciding to have a violinist instead and it was the best decision! We still had the DJ play some pia...
no back tracks, but Anna blew away our guests. One close friend came up to my mom after the ceremony and said "as soon as the violinist touched her bow to the instrument, I had goosebumps from my feet to my head." Don't hesitate to hire Anna! Nothing quite compares to the "live violin" flare :)
