Lauren played such beautiful music for our wedding and even learned new songs for us. she's an amazing musician and we highly recommend her! 💜
Lauren played violin during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on November 27, 2021. She was also able to bring a cellist, so we had a string duo. The music was so beautiful. It really made our ceremony special, and I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle to anything else! She is so talented! She was extremely kind and easy to work with. She answered all of my questions and offered song suggestions when I needed them. She also agreed to amend our contract to our new wedding date after we had to postpone everything at no additional cost. Her flexibility meant to the world to us! We highly recommend Lauren!
Lauren was the first vendor I selected and she did an incredible job playing during our ceremony. She was polite, informative and most importantly, an excellent violinist. My husband and I fell in love with a song we heard in Rome. We played the clip for her and she know the song right away. She was also able to suggest great songs that would flow well so that the entire ceremony had a soft and romantic feel.
I met Lauren at a bridal expo in Rockford, and from the very beginning she was very friendly and professional. She was always there to answer any questions we had and to help us pick out song choices. She made the whole process fun and easy. On our wedding day, not only were my husband and I in awe, but all of our guests were too. We can’t wait to get our wedding video back so we can listen to her play again. She is simply amazing and we recommend her to everyone!
She did an excellent job performing at our wedding, everything sounded amazing and, songs were in perfect order. Definitely made our wedding unforgettable. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend.
Lauren was a pleasure to work with through our entire music planning process. She is a talented violinist, whose music sounded perfect for our intimate outdoor ceremony. She was thoughtful and timely in communication when we reviewed the ceremony timeline and song selection. Lauren showed up on time and executed the songs perfectly with minimal guidance. Anyone looking for a talented and reliable musician will be more than satisfied with Lauren. Warmest recommendations from us.
I have enjoyed hearing Lauren play a couple of times now. She has a wonderful way of making a special day even more unique and memorable. The way she plays is captivating. If you are looking for the perfect music for your wedding, look no further! Lauren is the prefect instrumentalist for you.
