had arrived at the venue. We asked for a last minute request and couldn't even provide sheet music - she enthusiastically figured it out from a YouTube video and played it perfectly. The ceremony was outside and it was hot - it didn't faze her. She is a lovely person and that comes through in her beautiful music. We asked her to play some classical music for the ceremony and Celtic fiddle for the reception -both were perfect. So glad I found her and I highly recommend you call her. Definitely will call her again!
Jessica was so accommodating and her beautiful music warmed our hearts.

ns! She arrived early & dressed very elegantly for the event. We changed plans a few times & had to even switch dates & venues but she was always very kind and accommodating. When we finally did settle on the venue, it happened to have a piano, so I had the privilege of hiring both Jessica and her friend Kayla to play together. They both have amazing talents & played gorgeously together as well. She also learned my parents favorite song & brought tears to everyone's eyes! We can't wait to book Jessica for our next event!!
I found Jessica online, watched one video of her play, gave her a call and knew she was PERFECT to play at our vowel renewal ceremony. Jessica was so incredibly helpful, patient an...
d so professional in handling my chaotic planning ways. She answered my questions with great detail and was so kind to even send me samples of pieces when I couldn't decide. She was prompt and kind in her response which is so important when planning such a ceremony. Her music was very much appreciated by our guests and she was key in creating a warm, welcoming environment during our reception. I am so, so thankful to have found her. She is a one-woman show, but a beautifully strong one at that. My husband and I can only recommend Jessica as a violinist and human that you would like to have/play at your event.
Jessica is AWESOME. Seriously, I would use her again in a heartbeat. She was very organized and always gave me updated invoices. She was helpful and consistently coordinated with t...
he other entertainment. She was accommodating when I asked for new/different music. She was professional, composed, and a delight to work with. I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.
