Sammie Zonana Music

We hired Sammie to perform live music during our ceremony & cocktail hour. We loved every minute of the live music! Many guests commented and asked about her while enjoying the evening. Leading up to our wedding Sammie worked with us to select song options and offered to learn new songs to make our day extra special. I highly recommend hiring Sammie for your event! Thanks for making our event memorable

Sammie did an amazing job playing our late-night "acoustic hour" at our wedding! We were a little nervous when we found out that the DJ could no longer play the last hour of our wedding due to Austin city ordinances for outdoor weddings. We worried people might leave when the amplified music turned off! We hired Sammie to play the final hour + our private last dance, and I honestly think we had MORE people on the dance floor while she was playing. She played a variety of current fast and slow songs on her guitar and sang beautifully while walking around the dance floor. It was such a unique and special moment, like having a private concert just for us and our loved ones. Sammie was punctual, kind, creative, and just an all-around joy to work with, too. She brought such a fun and positive energy to our reception and our guests totally loved her! I'll never forget feeling like the only two people in the world dancing while she played a gorgeous rendition of "The Book of Love" at the end of the night. I would hire her for an event again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her if you want to feel so special on your wedding day. Thank you, Sammie!

Sammie was wonderful, and we could not have hired a better performer. For our wedding in December she sang for the ceremony, the cocktail hour and our first dance. Besides letting us pick what songs to sing from her list, Sammie also learned two songs just for us (Simply the Best and Rose of Sharon)! On the day of our wedding, Sammie arrived early to set up all her equipment, her setup was great, and her timing with all the songs during the ceremony were perfect. She was very professional and so very sweet to me and my beautiful bride. When we found her online we immediately loved her voice but when we heard Sammie on our wedding day we were blown away. Her voice is so beautiful! I lost count of how many guests approached us and asked us where we found Sammie and complimented how wonderful she sounded and performed. Thank you Sammie, our wedding was perfect and you were a big part of it! We are telling everyone we know about you and I hope one day we can hear you sing again!

We had Sammie perform at our reception this Fall. She was an aboslute pleasure to work wiht. Everyting was so smooth and easy to get her booked... Ad most improtantly, her performance was amazing. Truly beautiful voice. THANK YOU SAMMIE

While attending a friends bridal shower, I was wowed & blown away with Sammie’s voice and immediately got a card from her. We hired her for our wedding and she left me in tears! Sammie was extremely easy to work with. We communicated back and forth regarding music selections and timing and she executed everything right on time! She even let my son sing an impromptu duet with her; she sang a Bruno Mars song and my little one came out of nowhere and joined in! He's a HUGE Bruno Mars fan and Sammie adjusted the mike and allowed him to sing along with her. I have already recommended her to two other people. Having the ability and willingness to learn new songs specifically for our wedding allowed us to put our personal stamp on the music selection. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about Sammie.

Sammie was absolutely amazing! She has a great selection of music for ideas and was super easy to plan with. We received several compliments from guests and loved out experience with Sammie!

Sammie has such a smooth and beautiful voice. She was great at our outdoor wedding, and incorporated all of our song requests. We're so happy we chose to work with her on our big day!

Sammie was absolutely fantastic. She played for a champagne/oysters happy hour at a bridal shower I hosted, and I will absolutely be booking her again. Her voice is amazing and her vibe is so relaxed and easy to work with. She's incredibly attentive and professional, and a complete pleasure to work with. I highly recommend booking Sammie for any party/shower/wedding - she can do it all.

Sammie has the voice of an angel! When we were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have some specific songs that meant a lot to us incorporated into the ceremony processional and recessional. She created her own rendition of them for us and they were beyond beautiful and perfect! She is so easy to work with and patient with any questions we had. Sammie does a great job with transitions and cues and really has the MOST beautiful voice! I feel so lucky she was able to play at our wedding and I would 10000% book her again. Thank you for being such an important/perfect part of our day Sammie!!

Sammie was everything one could want in a wedding singer- talented, professional and so friendly and helpful! She worked with the bride on song choices and her performance was perfect! But the BEST part was that beautiful voice! As the mother of the bride I could not have been happier. I highly recommend Sammie for ANY occasion where a professional singer is needed. She absolutely rocks!

Sammie is flawless. I can't say how amazing she is - she made our ceremony so special. She sent me some clips of her practicing the songs we chose, and my mom and sister cried, and walking down the aisle to her singing is one of my favorite memories of my wedding day. She has the most beautiful voice and passion for her work, and her upbeat attitude kept me sane throughout the planning process and on the day of, when she was completely chill and willing to make adjustments and work flawlessly with our other vendors.

Sammie was the catalyst in setting the perfect musical vibe that my wife and I had envisioned for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Sammie was extremely accommodating for the planning aspect and whatever our expectations were she blew them away 1000 fold. Such a wonderful, raw, and amazing talent and wish I could make an excuse to have another reason to hire Sammie again!!! We had looked at numerous people to hire for our wedding but once we heard Sammie's voice all the other contenders were immediately knocked out of the running, kind of feel bad for other artists in the Austin area because Sammie has set the bar so high. 6 months after our wedding and I still catch myself throwing on Sammie's video on YouTube to relive the moment my wife started to walk down the aisle. I will forever be indebted to Sammie for her contribution to my perfect day. To sum it all up, Sammie is the best, shes accommodating, has such an amazing eclectic choice in music and its obvious she cares about her craft which she has mastered.

Sammie was a joy to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process, from the day we first found her to the day she sang us down the aisle. Her voice is ethereal, and so many of our guests commented specifically on how unforgettable her vocals were during our ceremony. She did a slam dunk job on all 3 of the songs she customized for us. If you're looking to create a unique and authentically Austin wedding, look no further than Sammie!

Sammie made our wedding day perfect. We had a long engagement, and she met with us and worked with us for over a year before the event. Sammie was quick to respond to emails and texts and always took time to make sure we knew that she cared about her role in our big day. We changed our first dance song and she learned the new one and performed it beautifully. Guests commented constantly about how wonderful the musician was and were so impressed with her song selection and performance. We love her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, personable live performer for an event.

I’m not writing this as an obligatory vendor review. I’m writing this because Sammie is absolutely amazing and everyone needs to know about it!! Sammie’s voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD. After our ceremony at least 75% of our guests commented how crazy amazing she is and asked us how in the world we were able to book this super star. If you’re not convinced yet just go to her website and listen. We hired Sammie as our ceremony musician. She played the guitar and ukulele and sang like an angel. We were going for a super unique and non-traditional vibe so she adjusted to that and played the songs we requested. She even turned an EDM song into an acoustic version. I cannot wait to get our wedding video back to listen to it again.

I don't even know where to start with Sammie! Sammie played during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance at our wedding in San Antonio in November 2018. There are not enough eloquent words for the respect and gratitude my husband and I have for her. Sammie was overwhelmingly the most professional, sweet, and wonderful person I worked with throughout our entire wedding planning process (out of all our vendors). On top of that, she is so incredibly talented - and our wedding would not have been the same without her. Sammie was flexible, arrived early, worked outstanding with our other wedding vendors, and was just a dream for an anxious bride. Sammie was great before the wedding, always quick to respond, and had a very large repertoire of wedding and non-wedding songs (I sat and listened to them over and over on her YouTube channel leading up to the wedding!). Sammie even learned our first dance song for us just a couple weeks before the wedding, and performed it beautifully! We had so many guests come up during the wedding to ask about Sammie, and even ask for her name after the wedding, so they could check out her music. When I told my husband that I wanted live music, I could never have envisioned how magical Sammie would be able to help make our day. I cannot recommend Sammie enough - and cannot imagine my wedding without her. Thank you, Sammie!

Sammie is AMAZING!! With guests coming in from all over the US for Shannon and Eric's (our Californians) wedding at Mercury Hall off S First Street near downtown Austin, we wanted everyone to get the feel of the Austin Live Music Scene and Austin's homegrown girl did just that! She's a gifted musician with a beautiful voice that left our guests raving! She is the sweetest and nicest professional musician you will find. And she's fun! She was a great find for us!

Sammie was such a pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend her enough! She was very accomodating and always quick to answer my emails throughout the planning process. Personally, she's very laidback and genuinely wants to create a meaningful and special experience for her clients. She's very talented and we got a ton of compliments on the entertainment she provided which really set the ambiance we wanted to create for our guests. Very fun, delightful person to work with. Thanks again, Sammie!

First of all, words cannot describe how amazingly sweet and talented Sammie is. Our wedding would not have been the same without her unique voice. My husband and I knew we wanted live music for our wedding, and after searching through various vendors we came across Sammie on the Knot. Her rendition of "A Thousand Years" got me. Her voice literally brought me to tears. At that moment we knew we wanted her to perform at our ceremony. Her live performance at our wedding was so much more perfect than I would have imagined. In fact, I literally hid in the hallway of our chapel before walking down the isle just to hear her sing. From the beginning it was a pleasure to work with Sammie. She was very responsive, flexible, professional, kind and gracious. Across the board, she was extremely professional and easy to work with, and I received compliments about her from our other vendors as well. We feel blessed to have had such a talented artist perform at our wedding. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Sammie for truly making our wedding day special.

Where to begin with Sammie! First of all, she was super easy to work with-- she responds to emails/questions etc promptly and was so professional! I had heard her sing at a wedding before and just knew she had to sing at mine. She had a great list of songs available to choose from and also was willing to write a special song too! I chose from her list and the songs were PERFECT! I can't tell you how many people came up and asked me where I found her! She made the ceremony and cocktail hour something to remember! I wouldn't think twice about using her again! Such a sweet girl with such a sweet voice!

Sammie is amazingly talented! She was such a joy to have during our wedding. We got tons of compliments about her. She was so easy to communicate with and quickly replied to all correspondence. For a stressed out bride like myself, I never felt worried about anything when it came to Sammie. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does and truly enjoys being a part of your special day. Also, she's so freakin nice. It was a pleasure having Sammie's beautiful talent and bright spirit around us on our special day. I would absolutely book Sammie again and I hope I see her around more! She rocks :)

When planning my Austin wedding, it was really important to me to incorporate live music since Austin is the live music capital of the world! Sammie met all of my wedding wishes and exceeded them! In the planning phase, she was so responsive and easy to work with. At the wedding, she provided the most beautiful, classy and a little funky/folky sound to my ceremony and cocktail hour. She had an awesome menu of songs to chose from, which allowed me to pick songs for my ceremony that were less traditional but way more meaningful to Nick and I. She played beautiful music all throughout the cocktail hour and my guests are still commenting on how much they enjoyed her sound. Sammie was definitely one of the highlights of the night!

Sammie was one of the most memorable parts of our whole wedding. Members of both sides of our family were commenting on how amazing she sounded, even days after the event. Her professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond (arranging her version of ‘Make You Feel My Love’) was outstanding. We would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Sammie sang at our wedding in November and she was AMAZING!! She was super friendly and attentive to what we envisioned. She spoke to us on the phone a few times and responded promptly to our emails leading up the wedding. The day of the wedding she showed up earlier than expected and blew everyone away with her guitar playing and singing. Our friends and family still comment about how wonderful she was. We highly recommend Sammie :)

Sammie was amazing! She was actually my favorite find of my wedding planning! Her voice is amazing and she can play pretty much anything you want. Ditch the boring violinist and get Sammie you won’t regret it!!!

My husband and I have so much love, respect, and admiration for Sammie! Sammie played at our wedding ceremony and reception and also sang our first dance. Sammie is extremely professional, concise, flexible, and quick to respond to any questions or e-mails I sent her way. The day of the wedding, Sammie arrived early to set-up and was one of the most professional vendors we had. She communicated and worked collaboratively across all our vendors (ex. wedding coordinator, officiant, DJ) to make sure things went smoothly and that our musical vision was executed flawlessly. It’s so hard to put into words how talented Sammie truly is. Her voice is so divine that our family and guests thought her playing was a recording and were shocked to learn it was actually Sammie playing live. Of everything from our wedding day, we got the most compliments about Sammie and the music she played. She was able to take our story, and through music, pull together the many components of our wedding to make it the most romantic and beautiful day of our lives. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her, and I can’t emphasize that enough. We are so grateful to have had Sammie as part of our special day, and we are searching for any and all reasons to get back to Austin soon and listen to her play again. Thank you for everything, Sammie! Much love, Lucy and Trey.

Sammie helped to create the most beautiful moment of my life when she played our song for my bride and I as we danced. Her velvety tones and delicate guitar work wrapped around us in an almost dreamlike bubble where it seemed as if we were the only people that existed. Sammie helped make that moment for us. With custom arrangements and a professional attitude, you will not find a better performer for your wedding.

Absolutely Fantastic!!! Sammie has a wonderful voice, and she completely crushed it. Every guest commented on how incredible she was. Sammie's voice perfectly fit the occasion and it made the whole day feel so special and surreal. We had two song requests and her treatment of them was so spot on. They only let me give 5 stars on this thing and I guess that is fine, but I must add that while we had heard Sammie's voice and were excited about her performing at our wedding, in person and on the day of the wedding she was better than we ever could have expected. Sammie is the jam. Hire her.

Sammie is incredible. I fell in love with her music when she was playing at a coffee shop and thought her amazing voice and laid-back style would bring something so personal and unique to our day. Sammie played during our outdoor cocktail hour and then played our first dance songs. She is so talented and helped turn an ordinary cocktail hour into a wedding-day-worthy event! Sammie was so easy to work with before the wedding and was just a joy to have around on the day of. She quickly learned covers of the specific songs we requested for first dances and played a great mix of covers and her original songs during the cocktail hour. I absolutely recommend having Sammie play during any part of your day if you are looking to amp up the ambience of your event in a sweet, Austin-y, amazingly beautiful way.

Sammie was the best choice we could have possibly made for our wedding. Not only did she learn a song she was unfamiliar with for us in a fairly short amount of time, but she adjusted the lyrics to meet our needs (same sex couple). Sammie went above and beyond the day of the ceremony. Every single wedding guest complimented us on her performance. My mother went so far as to tell her that she wished her voice would carry over into the photographs. My mother doesn't speak much English, so that was quite the feat. I cannot recommend Sammie enough. We are so lucky to have found such a talented, engaging, caring performer. Her dedication and genuine interest, truly made our day absolutely perfect.

Amazing! Spectacular! Phenomenal! Awesome! Just a few words to describe our experience with Sammie! She is so kind and sweet....her talent is unique and extraordinary! Sammie helped make my proposal a wonderful memory that my fiance and I will never forget. Sammie was so dedicated.... the weather turned out to be bitter cold and windy, but that didn't stop her from delivering a beautiful performance. Her lovely voice helped to make it such a memorable event that we will always treasure. Thank you so very much Sammie!!!! Ron & Adria

Sammie is wonderful, I would recommend her to anyone. I was really impressed with her vocals and my guests were as well. She is also very professional and kind.

Sammie is AMAZING!!! I had people come up to me and say "I could have just listened to her all day long she was so good"... She is talented and extremely professional. Her voice is really unique and beautiful. Beyond all of my expectations!

Sammie was professional, polite, and amazingly talented! She took our wedding to the next level and we cannot thank her enough for performing at our wedding! Thank you so much, Sammie! We loved your style! ❤️❤️

Sammie is very talented and has amazing music, but her reliability is questionable at best. We booked her, signed a contract, and paid her in full four months before our wedding. With less than six weeks to go, she cancelled in favor of a better opportunity. She refunded our money, but left us in a position where it's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to find a replacement in time.

Sammie was absolutely amazing at our wedding! She has such a captivating voice and had all my wedding guests in complete awe. She sang during my ceremony, including as I was walking down the isle. I gave her a song that she wasn't even familiar with only one week before the actual wedding, and not only did she learn it, she completely owned it and made it into something even more than I could have expected! Everyone was coming up to me at the reception and complimenting me on her music. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. She truly is a gifted musician--you cannot go wrong booking her for your wedding (or any event, really. She could sing anything, anywhere!)
