Jaimi was AMAZING to work with! I was helping to plan a surprise proposal for one of my best friends. The groom-to-be wanted to hire a violinist for the occasion, and I'm so glad J...

aimi was the person we ended up choosing. She was so kind, accommodating, flexible, and understanding when things were a bit crazy, which was super appreciated. Prompt responses, clear communication, and wonderful professionalism. You can tell how much care she puts into her craft and how dedicated she is to creating meaningful moments for her clients. I will definitely be referring her to anyone looking for a violinist in the future! :)

We hired a cellist and violinist to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was beautiful and they matched the vibes perfectly. Very professional and nice people...

. They even picked up hints during our vows that Star Wars was important element of our first date and incorporated that into cocktail hour without asking! They were amazing!

If you have a piece of music you want to hear - as well as a style choice, like making a theme song more whimsical - they are open and willing to learn and perform your music choice to ensure you have the perfect day. There's no need to hear them ahead of time, they are professional musicians that you can 100% trust to perform and time their pieces appropriately. Thank you so much for giving us an unforgettable 'soundtrack' to our wedding ceremony!

ransportation service, Save the Date was able to accommodate us last-minute and we are very grateful for this. Furthermore, the music (the most important thing!) was completely lovely and made our intimate wedding of 19, feel incredibly grand.

Save the Date Music was a great source for finding my musician needs. They were able to contract a string trio to provide my ceremony music. They were very hands on in aiding me ...

in finding the best music for my ceremony and helped me add my own personal touch. The musicians were great and my ceremony went beautifully!
