A Touch of Uplifting Elegance
Based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, violinist Colleen Wang serves as a revered wedding and cocktail hour musician. With extensive international and travel experience, Colleen has appeared on stage with Ed Sheeran, as well as on National Public Radio's “A Prairie Home Companion” as a part of Garrison Keillor's Shoe String Band. She has performed at a multitude of events around the globe, including providing music for the European Union, Tanzanian Ministry, and the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Colleen's select range of styles go beyond the typical classical standards, including modern and classic pop and rock tunes, Disney melodies, and K-pop, C-pop, Mandopop music. Her sweet, warm, but powerful sound matches her personality, making Colleen an efficient musician to work with. An acoustic violin and cello instrumentation, producing strong melodies paired with lush harmonies and elegant rhythmic basslines, gives your wedding a touch of elegance and class.
Anyone looking to create a soothing, heartfelt; joyful, lighthearted; or catchy, uplifting atmosphere for your ceremony, dinner reception, or cocktail hour, would surely enjoy the soundscape of the classical violin, accompanied by the deep, vibrant bass of the cello.

Colleen was incredible. She made the process so easy, she was so thorough, punctual, knew exactly when to play on cue. She played beautifully.
My goodness! If I could give them 10
Stars I would. From the fast communication, promptness and excellent performance I couldn’t recommend them enough. They truly made my wedding an ethereal experience. Thank you so much!
Words cannot even begin to describe how happy I was with this service. Colleen was easy to work with, affordable, and plays incredibly well. I could not see her from where I was hidden before the ceremony but just say and listened to the music she played for our guests and was absolutely blown away by every minute of it.
Any questions?
Colleen was excellent in her communication with us. She was very well-organized, and had a seamless process for setting up our playlist for the big day, which included a wide genre. She coordinated very well with our officiant, and her violin added a nice touch to our ceremony. Highly recommend to anybody who is looking for a violinist.
Colleen and her partner (celist) were so wonderful to work with for my wedding day. I had always envisioned a violinist at my wedding and Colleen gave us that and so much more! Colleen was very professional, easy going, and always responsive to our emails. She made sure to check in as time got closer to the wedding too, and even had recommendations for music. I had her and the celist for both ceremony and cocktail hour and it was so worth it.
When I watched our wedding videos, their music was absolutely beautiful and she made my wedding vision come to life.
I would recommend Colleen and her partner again and again. Trust me you will not be disappointed if you go with her:)
