About this vendor
Hello!
My name is Nicolette but I go by Nickie.
I grew up in Nashville, TN where I first started the violin at the age of ten. I then moved to Jacksonville, Fl at age twelve where I attended LaVilla Middle School of the Arts for violin. At LaVilla, I switched to the viola. I then attended and graduated from Douglas Anderson School of the Arts for viola. For college, I have attended Stetson and Belmont University. I then volunteered in the University of North Florida's Symphony Orchestra for 3 years. I now teach the violin, viola, and beginner piano. I have gone to summer music festivals for my instrument including the International Strings Festival and also Eastern Music Festival. I currently perform the viola in local ensembles, art walks, and privately hired performances.

Amazing communicator, fantastic live show, easy to work with and absolutely affordable!
Ignore the negative review, its obvious that person wanted a refund and had to fight for it...
and is trying to bash Nickie.

Her performance is something my guests are still talking about. Her presence and her gift of music is now such a defining memory of our day. She played every song we requested, and even a few that she had never played before sounded gorgeous.
Thank you Nickie!

Nickie was a pleasure to work with for our wedding on 9/29/2018. We were looking for either a harp player or violin/viola-cello duo that was either experienced or willing to learn ...
to play at a Catholic ceremony... and also within our budget. I heard about Nickie from a friend of mine who recommended her since her children also take piano and viola lessons from her. Nickie had not played a Catholic wedding at that point, but was very eager to learn and even came with us to a mass to understand when certain songs were cued to start and stop. When we gave her the particular songs that were to be played, we made sure we gave her enough time to be able to practice songs she didn’t already know. She made sure that she was at the rehearsal to see the set up and acoustics, and when the big day came, she and her cellist did such a great job!! No amplification was needed for them in the church— it sounded exactly as we pictured it to be. I would definitely recommend her to play during your big day!
Nickie was fantastic! Great communicator in the planning stages of our wedding, played all the songs we wanted (even the jaws intro into here is the bride LOL), sounded amazing! I ...
would definitely recommend her if you are looking to wow your wedding guests with her awesome playing :) We were extremely happy with her all around!
Nickie was amazing! I would definitely recommend her and her beautiful viola. We had requested non-traditional songs and she pulled them off with ease.
Nickie was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Payment was pretty simple as well. The music sounded beautiful and prices were fair!
Nickie was incredible! She was super flexible, learned the material quickly, and joined us in our excitement for the wedding performance! I highly recommend her!!
