Cale was an absolute amazing addition to our wedding! From the initial consultation, to the final product, I am so thrilled that we chose him to play violin for our ceremony. Cale ...
was so incredibly professional and even learned a song I requested him to play for our processional, just for our wedding. That to me, is going above and beyond to deliver an amazing customer experience. As a groom, I couldn't be happier with her service. Our guests, many of whom had never been in the presence of a live violinist, were beyond ecstatic to have that experience. Cale is a phenomenal choice if you're in need of a kind, talented musician for your special day!
Cale played violin during my wedding ceremony and was absolutely fantastic! He is an excellent musician and many of my guests expressed how much they enjoyed listening to him play....
His music is smooth and adds a lot of emotion to the moment. I'll never forget the song he played when my DH and I exited together. So good! Not only was his music beautiful, but Cale was SO easy to work with -- clear contract, a expansive song list, and responsive via email. Cale was even willing to play an off-list song I requested. He arrived onsite extra early. If you are planning your own wedding like I did, you cannot ask for a better person to work with!
