About This Vendor

17 years of musical experience

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. Remember, theres always 1 dentis...

t that disagrees! You cannot go wrong hiring this gal, thank me later!

Worst communicator in history. I am unsure how she got 5 star reviews, to be quite honest. I paid Nickie the full amount due on March 2nd for our October18th wedding. Although I was supposed to receive a contract and receipt the same day, I n...

ever did. I emailed her a few times to remind her to send me the contract. I finally received the contract on March 4th, after I asked for a refund and practically begged me not to hire someone else. So, I agreed to not hire someone else because she convinced that I wouldn't regret it. I attempted to contact her after that, took forever to reply and always had some excuses. I sent her a follow up message on May 26th, she didn't reply with a sorry excuse until June 4th. My coordinator tried emaing and contacting her after that, she never replied. I sent a request for a refund in August, I never heard from her. I then wrote her on 9/24 asking for a refund and informed her that I'd be filing a claim with my bank. She apologized right away and sent me a refund. I get it, everyone has stuff going on in their lives but that's no way to treat your client. Nickie has very poor customer service skills. Sadly, I cannot recommend her services to anyone.

I've hired Nicki for numerous events. She played on stage in front of 100 people for a dinner fundraiser with ease. She played for my friends and neighbors during multiple taco and tequila dinner parties I've thrown...she compliments the tacos...

very well by the way. She's always proffesional, responsive, accomidating, friendly, on time and good. I couldn't be happier with her. I met her years ago and I still reach out to her for live music.

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!
