We absolutely could not have asked for a more perfect violinist than Catherine Beck for our wedding. From the moment she began playing, she brought an elegance and emotion to our c...
eremony that our guests are still talking about. Her tone is warm, rich, and incredibly expressive—every note felt intentional and heartfelt.
Catherine was also an absolute pleasure to work with.
On the day of the wedding, she arrived early, looked professional, and delivered a flawless performance that elevated the entire experience. Her music added a level of beauty and magic we’ll never forget.
If you’re looking for a violinist who is not only technically gifted but also kind, reliable, and passionate about what she does, Catherine is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much for making our day so special and memorable!

Catherine Beck was an absolute joy to work with and one of the true highlights of our wedding day. From the very beginning, she showed professionalism, talent, and a genuine desire...
to help make our day as special as possible.
She met with us ahead of time to learn what we envisioned musically for each part of the day. I was so indecisive about the processional song, and Catherine went above and beyond by creating a beautiful mashup of three songs just for that moment. For the bridal entrance, she performed a stunning rendition of Here Comes the Bride—it had just the right amount of drama and emotion, and it gave me chills walking down the aisle.
Although I didn’t get a chance to speak with her in person on the wedding day (everything was a whirlwind!), she handled everything with grace and professionalism. She arrived on time, knew exactly what to do, and created an incredible atmosphere with her music. From pre-ceremony to cocktail hour, every moment she played added elegance and joy to the day.
For cocktail hour, we gave her just a general idea—something upbeat with a mix of pop and country—and she absolutely nailed it. Our guests are still talking about how fun and unique it was to hear familiar songs played live on violin.
Catherine brought so much life and beauty to our wedding, and we are so grateful for her talent and care. If you’re looking for a live musician who is not only gifted but also deeply thoughtful and easy to work with, we wholeheartedly recommend her.

We are so glad we found Catherine! She worked with us on getting our ceremony music just right and all of our guests loved her! She stayed to play during our cocktail hour too and ...
our guests were so impressed with her light up violin and how well she played! A lot of our family members have never been to a wedding with a fun and lively musician before so they couldn't stop talking about her. Definitely would recommend!

My wife and I were looking for a violinist to perform songs for our guests at our wedding ceremony. Catherine was referred to us from another violinist who happened to be on hiatus...
.
From the start, she was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Months ahead of our ceremony, she provided us a list of songs she could perform. The week prior to the event, she contacted me just to make sure we touched up on any concerns or questions. She provided some excellent ideas that we actually implemented into the ceremony.
During the event, she arrived early and followed everything we had discussed the day before. Catherine dressed for the occasion and was super polite to our guests. Transitioning beautifully from one song to another; she adapted very well to the ceremony. Once the ceremony was over, she continued to play for our guests in the background as we took pictures with family and friends. She definitely made our venue memorable. Our guests were constantly talking about her during our lunch.
Catherine is punctual, professional, patient and provides affordable prices. I always believe things happen for a reason and I’m glad she was referred to us.
