Dwayne (violinist) was absolutely fantastic and I feel so lucky that we had him join our celebration. From the start, he was quick to respond to our inquiry and made sure we had a call to better understand our needs. We wanted two very specific songs from very different genres (country + reggaeton) played during our ceremony and Dwayne was able to do both without problem. He also worked perfectly with a guitarist and together, our venue was filled with what sounded like a full band with just two string instruments. The two of them together played fun renditions of pop songs that so perfectly fit our vibe as a couple. Having them there elevated the feel of the ceremony and cocktail hour and if we had to do it all over, we would absolutely work with them again.
Highly recommend. Dwayne played the violin for our wedding ceremony and it could not have been more perfect. He is very friendly, communicative, and professional. He was able to accommodate our special request entrances songs making for a truly memorable ceremony.
