reat she sounded because they’ve had some not so great recently & it’s amazing to hear someone with such talent. Communication was seamless & her talent is far beyond the average. We are so lucky to have had her at our wedding, it added such a touch of elegance and class. If you’ve been considering hiring a violinist, look no further! Callie is your girl.

5/5 is not a high enough rating! I got married this past May and Callie was the absolute best part of my ceremony and cocktail hour. She is beyond easy to work with and provided ex...
cellent direction regarding song choices and what she sees requested a lot for weddings. I had asked her to play 3 specific songs for the ceremony that she was able to learn and play perfectly. When she says she can learn any song, she means it! She played a beautiful rendition of "Concerning Hobbits" from the Lord of the Rings (my husband is a huge fan), which he noticed immediately and it brought him to tears. Every single guest that I have talked to since the weddings always brings up how special the violinist was and how amazing her cocktail hour music sounded! She played popular pop music with a back beat and guests loved every second. As the bride, hearing my aisle song be played live by Callie made me tear up before even walking down the aisle -- and it was almost impossible to keep it together on the way down! Her pricing is beyond fair and she is very professional. If you are looking for a perfect way to seriously elevate your wedding, please do not hesitate to book with her. You WONT regret it!!

s not only because she is our friend , but because she is one of the most talented people we know. I knew she had to be the one playing my favorite song(Enchanted- Taylor Swift) for the moment every bride anticipates…walking down the aisle!
Callie is wildly talented as a musician and performer. On top of that she radiates joy and charisma as she plays because she loves what she does and she LOVES love! She performs large venues and has done tons of weddings. She is 100% reliable and professional. I told her our song requests, where and when to be at the venue and she handled the rest. I had complete faith and trust in her from start to finish. I can’t imagine a better addition to any wedding ceremony.
Thank you Callie for being our friend and for making our wedding ✨enchanting✨beyond belief!!!💕✨🥹
