My husband and I worked with Monica to curate our wedding ceremony music and absolutely loved our experience!
We had a micro-wedding in Central Park. We booked a duo (violinist a...
nd cellist). The two musicians that performed for our ceremony (Caroline & Sasha) were phenomenal!
Monica is amazing - so communicative and personable. She helped us select music from a list of songs she already had sheet music for, and she arranged some personal selections for us - all of which translated into absolutely amazing performances.
Our day would not have been the same without Monica her team. We are incredibly happy with our choice to book with her!
Any questions?

Monica is awesome and the real deal. I remember when I booked her, she was between playing a Broadway show and Carengie Hall, so there's no question about her talent!
My fiance w...
anted to walk the isle to A Thousand Years, which Monica rendered beautifully as a solo violinist. She uses a small speaker to supplement, so don't worry- you don't have to throw down for a full ensemble to get a nice sound! After the ceremony, Monica kept the occasion lively and played a few other songs we pre selected. The whole occasion was a total vibe and our guests were floored.
10/10, I'd hire her again! Thank you, Monica!

Finding Monica is something I will be forever grateful for! She played beautifully at my proposal to my fianceé last year. I coordinated with her and a photog...
rapher to all discretely be at the same spot of central park and play a few of our favorite songs as I asked the biggest question of my life. It went amazing! She was SO great to work with! She played so beautifully that we wanted to include her in our wedding ceremony too! So this year, that's exactly what we did! And once again, she listened to the vision, took the time to talk through the details, and then worked well with our other vendors on the day of. Everything went perfectly! Being able to trust someone to do exactly what you have been dreaming of for so long is a huge relief. Monica brings visions to life and creates magical moments through her music. I say this as no exaggeration at all - Monica makes us want to have more events that call for live music, just so we can experience it again!

day of the wedding! She offered to arrange songs for me that may not be on her very comprehensive list. We requested pop songs on strings and the vibe was perfect! I would highly recommend booking Monica to contract and play at your wedding!

here. As you can imagine the logistics of this can be rather challenging. I wanted something different. Something memorable. I reached out to Monica to speak to her about been a part of it and having her play Violin as part of the proposal on Brooklyn Bridge. And Wow. Monica went above and beyond to ensure every details was covered and assisted more than I ever expected in executing this more amazing and memorable time. She composed a special playlist of special songs for my partner and I. Nothing was too hard for her and her talent is unmatched. Monica made this special occasion one that we will never forget and we can not thank her enough. Look no further. She is your girl!
