Oh my gosh, Chad and Justine set the entire mood for my sister’s bridal shower! They played a spectacular variety of music, exactly the style I was looking for. They were so warm and professional, great communicators, and fantastic musicians. Our guests couldn’t get over the quality of music. I received so many compliments on the entertainment, and my sister was so excited to have live musicians. Recorded music just can’t compare to the energy and life provided by live performers. If you are looking to make your wedding or event really memorable, hire the Picasso Duo!! I couldn’t be happier.
If I knew it I would have hired them for my sister's wedding! and what most people do not know or do not mention here below is that Chad was the drummer of legendary Nirvana and they both are members of Before Cars an absolutely great band!
I highly recommend hiring Picasso Violin & Guitar for your wedding or next party. They both played so beautifully and dressed to perfection. I really appreciated them arriving in formal attire because my dress code was formal and they both looked amazing. Most importantly, played beautifully! Justine was so nice and patient with me with all my questions. Thank you Justine!
I highly recommend Justine and Chad. I hired them to play at my wedding which was in July 2020. They were so wonderful and so easy to work with and professional. The place and time of my wedding changed several times due to COVID-19 and finally became a zoom wedding. Justine and Chad were so helpful and accommodating with all of the changes. They have a large repertoire of music to choose from and played a couple of really uncommon songs we requested.
I didn’t know Justine and Chad or know anything about them when I hired them except what was on their profile on The Knot, so I took a big chance. I honestly think hiring Justine and Chad was the best decision I made in all of my wedding planning. They were so nice and did such a beautiful job. Just about all of my guests told me the music was wonderful and asked who the musicians were. The music was completely tailored to our ceremony as far as the timing of everything in the length of the songs and when they were played. Justine and Chad are very talented and comfortable with their abilities. I really think live music is a powerful touch to any event, and Justine and Chad are just absolutely wonderful.
Picasso Violin & Guitar made our wedding even more special and amazing. They played beautifully and the combination of violin and guitar is truly something to hear. These musicians were knowledgeable, helpful and extremely easy to work with. When we had questions, they were happy to make suggestions and helped us to make sure that our day was exactly how we were hoping. They arrived on time, if not early, and they looked fantastic! I have to say that this was money well spent. I am so grateful and honored that they were available to be there. Any couple would be lucky to have this fantastic duo be present on their wedding day.
