Kathryn Skudera Haddad, Violinist

We hired Kat to play our ceremony music and although as the bride I was only able to hear her for a few minutes during our procession and recession (and she sounded amazing), we also received endless compliments from our guests about how beautiful she sounded as guests were arriving and how it was the perfect personal touch to our ceremony. Kat is extremely talented and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

We hired Kathryn as our ceremony and cocktail hour musician for our wedding in Newport, RI, and we are so happy we did! She was truly amazing and played so beautifully! Kat was easy to communicate with and answered all questions! We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a musician for whatever event they are planning! Thank you so much Kathryn!

Kat is the best! We hired Kat to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on 10/2/22 in Rehoboth, MA. The music was absolutely beautiful and the compliments from our guests have not stopped rolling in. I actually first heard Kat play when I was a wedding coordinator back in 2017; I wasn’t even engaged then, but I asked her for a business card and held on to it every since. Then once we were engaged, she was one of our first vendor calls! Kat was responsive, professional, and has a HUGE song library. She even learned two new songs for our day. I highly, highly recommend Kat for your event!

Kat was amazing! She played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and helped set the tone for the night to follow. Everyone loved listening to her and we are still receiving compliments on how great she was. She also took the time to learn some of the songs that we requested for our ceremony so she goes above and beyond! We highly recommend working with Kat!

If you are even thinking about hiring Kathryn, DO IT! I cannot tell you how incredible she made our day. Every single table at our wedding made a point to tell us how amazing she made our ceremony and cocktail hour. Her music library to choose from was very large, and she even learned secret agent man for our ring bearer/ring security. On top of all of that, she was so easy to work with and get in touch with. Cannot recommend her enough!

Kat was lovely and made our ceremony all the more special! She's so talented that I was bummed to have missed all the music she played while guests were arriving to the ceremony (bride had to wait inside!) but I'm happy they were able to hear her play. Kat made the planning process super simple, she was organized & easy to work with. She even learned a new song for us for our recessional. Thank you Kat!!

Where do I even begin this review besides, wow just wow! We had booked Kat (fairly last minute) to play at our cocktail hour and reception for our intimate wedding and she absolutely blew everyone away! Incredibly talented, personable, professional, and easy to work with, Kat was truly the hit of the night! All our guests couldn’t stop raving about her performance! I could not recommend Kat enough!

Kathryn played during our wedding and cocktail hour and was beyond fabulous. Guests have not stopped talking about how great she was and how every song she played was better than the last. Her music library was so versatile and she was willing to learn any song at our request. She was flexible, accommodating, and such a joy to work with. Kathryn played a huge role in making our day so special and memorable. I would recommend her to anyone!

Kathryn is an absolute dream to work with! She let us know exactly what to expect and has a huge list of songs to choose from! She also mentioned you can choose songs that weren't on the list, but that wasn't necessary for us since she had everything we were looking for. All our guests loved her and having a live violinist made our day extra special!

Everyone loved her for the cocktail hour. She did amazing and people still talk about how awesome she was!

We hired Kathryn and two friends of hers (a pianist and cellist) to play at our wedding ceremony a few weeks ago. We found Kathryn on GigMasters and when we mentioned we were looking for a cello and piano as well as violin, she was very quick to get back to us and let us know she had connections and could provide us with all of the musicians we had hoped for. Overall, we were very happy with the performance. The musicians arrived on time and began playing as our guests arrived to our ceremony. When my husband and I began looking into musicians for our wedding ceremony, we found that many companies or individual musicians would charge more based off of the number of songs they needed to play. Kathryn and her friends played enough songs to fill the full hour they were there and my guests were very entertained. Kathryn provided us a list of songs she has performed in the past to give us an idea of some pieces we may be interested in and she also told us to let her know if there were any songs not on the list that we also wanted played. We had two songs that we absolutely wanted played during our ceremony and those were A Thousand Years as my wedding party came down the aisle and Canon in D as my parents walked me down aisle. They did a phenomenal job playing these two songs and we were also very pleased with the other selections. While I was unable to hear many of the songs before I walked down the aisle, my husband said they all sounded great! I look forward to hearing the other songs when the video of our wedding day is ready!
