Jennifer was wonderful to work with! She was highly responsive to communication along the way, and even made a custom arrangement for a pop song to walk down the aisle to (and helped keep it a secret from my husband). We were able to pick a wide variety of pop songs to play for our ceremony (including a Rick Roll for my husband's entrance, which got a lot of laughs) and received many compliments throughout the evening on the music. Highly recommend working with Jennifer to make your ceremony a resounding success!

My fiance and I booked Jennifer for our November wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in Richmond, VA. She was super responsive during the planning process as well as helpful in answering our questions and suggesting selections to match our big day. We opted for a duet, both violin and cello and they were both incredible! She sent over an impressive list of song selections and it was so much fun getting to pick out our favorites. We opted for a mix of classical and modern which was perfect! She made sure to reach out to me to confirm details and selections before the big day - which I made me feel at ease. We highly recommend Jennifer and her team for any event! She made our day simply magical.

Jennifer was my violinist for my 5/22/21 wedding. Her and the cellist she partnered with did a phenomenal job! I always knew since I began planning my wedding in my head as a little girl that I wanted a violinist to play at my ceremony and she sure did not disappoint. Jennifer is dependable and affordable! She is well versed in traditional wedding music as well as more contemporary songs that were played during cocktail hour. I walked down the isle to Canon D and it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Jennifer!

We're so glad we decided to move forward in hiring Jennifer to play on our wedding day. She is very talented and professional. Working with her leading up to the wedding was easy and straightforward.

I elected for a violin / cello duo for our micro wedding. We requested two songs not typically in wedding repertoire and their renditions were lovely. Though it rained, they played from a sheltered spot. Extremely professional and quick to respond to any and all correspondence. I highly recommend you consider adding Jennifer to your special day for a bit of elegance.

Jennifer and her violin added a peaceful and joyous mood to our small wedding. She guided us through music selections and had great tips and ideas. We couldn't be happier how everything went and would recommend her to friends and family. If you're looking to add not just music but class to your wedding, send her a message.

Jennifer was absolutely fabulous to work with. When I needed to re-schedule my May wedding to September due to COVID, she was very flexible working with me on my new date.
Jennifer sent along some music selections to get me going and we emailed regularly about some choices I was hoping she could play that were not on the list. She was so open to some new songs and offered some great suggestions when my fiance got stuck on the recessional. Overall we loved our music! We started with some Disney love songs, some selections from her list for the mothers, groomsmen, and bridesmaids, and my father and I walked down to Million Dreams- the whole ceremony was a dream come true! The Beatles choices Jennifer suggessted tied right in to the readings we had selected (complete coincidence that worked out perfectly!) Jennifer and Maureen were amazing~ couldn't ask for anything more!

Jennifer was a pleasure to work with, and extremely knowledgeable about music selections for the ceremony. While we knew we wanted classical pieces for the ceremony, I was at a loss of where to begin, and her suggestions were perfect. She was very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend her for your ceremony music needs.

We are so glad we use Jennifer Johnson and Maureen Hawley (violin and cello duo) for our wedding ceremony music. Jennifer was extremely responsive and knowledgable. We really enjoyed the sample music selections on her website. Our guests raved about the prelude selections! I chose to walk down the aisle to Canon in D, and their rendition evoke so much emotion as I walked down the aisle with my father.
