Shawn is an incredibly talented violinist! I first heard him play at a bridal expo and was immediately impressed. He played before/during/after our ceremony and did an amazing job. He played the exact songs we requested at the right times. He even learned a new song for us (and killed it)!! Shawn was also so easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding he provided us with a questionnaire and we met a couple times on Zoom. On the calls he would play a few ideas for us so we could give some direction on what we liked. He was so great to work with and made our ceremony even more special. We cannot recommend Shawn enough!

Talented, kind, and awesome. Shawn was the BEST!! He learned songs I had in my ceremony vision and even wrote a piece to collaborate with my best friend to play the cello. It was a dream come true and he helped make the day so special.

I had the pleasure of working with Shawn at an event recently. He did an amazing job. Not only was his communication very clear throughout all of the planning process, he always was prepared to play any instrumental part requested or to just give examples on how the wedding day music would go! Once the actual wedding came - he did a phenomenal job! All of the guests were amazed by his talents and it was quite enjoyable. I highly recommend this company for any future event and hope to work with him again in the future!

Shawn was AMAZING. He was absolutely wonderful to work with from the very beginning. I felt no pressure to book during our initial conversation like I had with other vendors. He was super responsive to any questions, willing to meet via zoom however much I needed to so I felt comfortable (although it was only a couple times for me, I appreciate the reassurance that I could always reach out with questions). I chose the song that I would walk down the aisle to but let Shawn pretty much choose everything else and it was PERFECT. It took a lot of stress off my plate with taking away those decisions.
We booked Shawn for the ceremony and for cocktail hour. His music was a wonderful addition to both. He even went above and beyond for us. My Father-in-Law plays guitar and wrote a song for our wedding. Once he met Shawn, he wanted to play his song with Shawn. Shawn was an awesome way to make the song a little more special. Even during dinner, our DJ wanted Shawn to play over his mix of songs, and he happily did! I also think that for everything Shawn offered, his performance was such a great value!
If you are looking for live music for any part of your wedding, (I can't stress this enough) BOOK SHAWN!

Where do I begin?? Every single interaction with Shawn was amazing. He is a phenomenal musician. He had multiple video calls with us where he walked us through everything, played for us, explained his violins & equipment, showed us different styles, etc. his music was beautiful and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. I would hire him over and over again if I could!

Shawn was the missing puzzle piece to our wedding day! He made the ceremony & reception feel like a dream. He took his time to really find out what we wanted, and gave us his recommendations. Everyone loved him, and he really just made our day feel so magical.

We recently hired Shawn to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and he was incredible to work with! From our initial consultation where he played a few songs for us over Zoom, to the wedding day itself, Shawn was professional and very easy to work with. His packages are straight forward and inclusive - he doesn't try to nickel and dime you for every little thing. He handled both the music as well as the audio equipment (speakers and mics), as neither our venue and band offered these as options for the ceremony. He also arrived early to make sure everything was set up and working properly and even played a few songs for my husband and I during our first looks - it was like our own private concert! Overall, we would recommend Shawn a million times over!

Shawn is absolutely amazing. He performed for my wedding ceremony and cocktail. The ceremony music process was seamless with his professional and kind feedback. Shawn’s mastery of the violin was evident, filling the air with beautiful melodies that perfectly complemented the ambiance. His repertoire was extensive, spanning classical pieces to modern arrangements, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Not only was Shawn incredibly skilled, but his professionalism and flexibility were also commendable. He seamlessly adapted to the flow of the event, enhancing key moments such as the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner with his exquisite music. His presence added a touch of elegance and sophistication that our guests couldn't stop raving about. He even worked with our DJ to coordinate microphones and speakers.
Moreover, Shawn was easy to work with throughout the planning process. He was responsive to our requests and provided helpful suggestions to tailor his performance to our preferences. On the day of the wedding, he arrived punctually and was ready to perform, which alleviated any stress we might have had.
Overall, Shawn exceeded our expectations in every way. His talent, professionalism, and ability to create a magical atmosphere with his music made him a highlight of our wedding. We would HIGHLY recommend Shawn to anyone looking to add a touch of musical brilliance to their special occasion.
Thank you Shawn for adding your magic touch to our wedding day, we will always remember you!

Shawn was amazing and made our wedding so special. We met Shawn at a bridal show and were instantly intrigued and impressed by his talent. My husband and I were wanting live music for our ceremony but weren’t sure on who, so when we saw Shawn playing at the show it felt like fate. To say we are beyond grateful and happy with Shawn is an understatement!
My husband and I had a different and specific music that we visioned for our ceremony that mixed in our love for Disney, video game and anime. He made our ceremony music absolutely beautiful, incredibly unique and better than we both have dreamed of. He went above and beyond at our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Everyone at and after the wedding raved about him. We highly recommend him!

Shawn was an absolute dream to work with. We ran across a suggestion of his name on a FB wedding page. I contacted him. He set up a zoom meeting and after speaking with him, my daughter didn't want to speak to anyone else. She was so at ease with Shawn. He gave her idea's, he listened to hers. He made her outdoor wedding absolutely perfect and a dream come true for her. He was early, professional and personable. Very easy to communicate with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Shawn for making her day even more perfect!

Shawn was such a pleasure to work with leading up to and on the day of our wedding on 9/16/23 at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester MI. Our guests are still talking about how lovely Shawn's performance was for both our ceremony and the cocktail hour. He is interactive with the crowd during the cocktail hour which made it all even more fun for our guests! Shawn is professional and extremely talented, and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Shawn was fantastic to work with for our event. Our requests for music were rather unique - Zappa, David Bowie, Pfunk, Stevie Wonder - and Shawn was able to work these all in as well as improvise and play similar styles throughout the event. Shawn is extremely talented and makes everything sound great. He was also punctual, clear with instructions, open to meeting with us via zoom pre-event, and fair with payment. Shawn was very engaging with our guests and extremely easy to chat with throughout the day. Shawn was easily the best vendor choice for our event and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. We will definitely be recommending him to everyone we can!

Shawn is not only an incredibly talented violinist but a genuinely kind person. He adapted to our random music requests prior to the wedding with such ease. We met with Shawn via a video call and he played our requests on the spot. He made such great recommendations and picked up on our style right away. We were blown away then and so glad we booked him for our wedding day. Our guests were asking for his info all night long. It was such a special moment walking down the aisle and mingling during cocktail hour with a violinist who curated the day to our music taste. Book Shawn and expect to be blown away. We wish we booked him for the whole night. You will not regret it. He will take your night from average to memorable.

My daughter and her fiancé wanted to craft a unique feel to their wedding ceremony and reception. After finding Shawn on Wedding Wire, they worked with him to create some lasting memories. Shawn played during the ceremony, cocktail hour and during the reception. We had a traditional hora dance to kick the party off, and Shawn played in the center of our circle. Not one person who attended the wedding had ever experienced anything like it! He provided such an energetic feel to the dance. I don't think anyone of our over 155 guests was sitting for the hora! It was truly phenomenal. Shawn was a pleasure to work with. Now I just need to think of another reason to hire him again!

Shawn was absolutely amazing!! As my husband and I were planning our Michigan wedding all the way from Utah, he made it so easy to plan our ceremony music! We had multiple zoom calls to go over our ceremony music and he personalized it for us which made it even more special. On the day of our wedding, he entertained our guests with music before the ceremony and even played afterwards while we were taking family portraits. He was so amazing to work with and we cannot thank him enough for making our day so amazing!! 💗💗

Shawn was exactly the person we were looking for to add that special touch to our wedding. He worked with us throughout the process to curate our custom playlist. Shawn is super talented and there is literally nothing he can't play. Sone of the other violinists we considered were too stiff and stuffy. Shawn was full of energy and that is ultimately what drew us to him, We simply cannot recommend Shawn enough. A must have on your wedding day!!!

We had a great experience working with Shawn Boucke. Reached out via email, met online, coordinated with him to play both the wedding and reception, and everything went extremely smoothly.

Shawn was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding all the way from planning to our big day! We met several times before the wedding to go over details and answer any specific questions we had. Shawn had great recommendations and was knowledgeable of how the ceremony would flow the day of. My husband and I felt well prepared for the big day and we’re confident that Shawn would set the tone for the ceremony. He played beautifully through our ceremony and cocktail hour. Several family members and friends even commented on how great of a job he did.

Mr. Boucke was previously my substitute orchestra teacher over a decade ago; so imagine my shock finding him on here when I was looking for a musician for our wedding day! He was so kind both then and while we spoke about our wedding. I didn't have the first clue about what all we wanted him to play outside of what song we picked for walking down the aisle. He was able to recommend plenty of songs and was fantastic in that regard! We ended up getting so many compliments on his music; it was genuinely incredible and I can't wait to get our video back so we can experience it all again.
Mr. Boucke if you read this, I thanked you a bunch already but genuinely thank you so much again for making our wedding day as magical as it was. We are so grateful to you! You are incredibly talented, we can't recommend you enough to those who are considering a musician to play!

Shawn was awesome- we could not have asked for a better person to play our ceremony and cocktail hour. My husband's sister is an amazing singer and I had a vision of having her sing during the ceremony. When I asked Shawn if he would be able to accompany her, he agreed and executed it perfectly! He even took the extra time to send her videos of what he would play before the wedding day. He truly went above and beyond to meet my vision. He is a fabulous and talented violinist who made our night so memorable, we had so many guests compliment us on his music at both the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour! I highly recommend Shawn for your wedding!

Shawn did an amazing job all the way around and I would highly recommend booking him. My husband and I were blown away by his transparency, professionalism, and technical skills. When we were looking for vendors, we were quickly discouraged by the number of vendors who hid their pricing or had less-than transparent pricing. With Shawn, the pricing was on his website and there were no hidden costs. As money-conscious people, this was really important to us and helped us feel like we could trust Shawn from the very beginning. Our decision to hire him was solidified during our meet and greet. He was very personable and was able to learn and play obscure songs on the spot during our meeting. There was also absolutely no pressuring us to book with him or any of the other deceptive tactics some use to get you to book immediately. After booking Shawn, he was always very responsive to my emails, communicated an appropriate amount with me, and was always willing to have another meeting if we needed it. On our wedding day, Shawn coordinated very well with our other vendors. He showed up plenty early and played while guests were entering, during our ceremony, and during the first hour of our dinner. His music filled the room and was the perfect amount of elegance for our day. Multiple guests commented on how nice it was to have a violinist during dinner and we felt it added a touch of uniqueness to our event. If you are thinking about booking a violinist, pick Shawn. He is rated highly here for a reason.

Working with Shawn has been such a joy. I felt I could rely on him not only with music but with planning my ceremony. His experience and insight created an experience that I feel lucky to have received.
If you want something special, someone who will create something just for you, hire Shawn. He is not kidding when he says he will create new arrangements just for your wedding. I asked him to play a couple songs from my favorite indie film and not only was he able to play it, he made it fit perfectly with our ceremony.
Hire Shawn! You won't regret it.

I hired Shawn two days before my wedding on 11/7/20. My original person was unable to do my wedding music and cancelled two days before my wedding putting me in a really bad spot. Shawn immediately responded to me and set up a zoom meeting that day. He took on my wedding on such short notice, customized the music to how I wanted, and was so responsive. I cannot say how much I appreciated him he is so talented. I highly recommend if you need someone for wedding music hire him.

My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Shawn! He is incredibly responsive and flexible, which was great since we had a lot of changes to make to our wedding due to the pandemic. Shawn is truly an artist and makes absolutely beautiful music. He accommodated our (my) many requests to hear various different songs. He was up for learning any song that we wanted and met with us virtually in addition to sending us videos of the songs we were interested in for our ceremony. Shawn arrived early and was playing music while we were taking pictures, which was great ambiance and stayed after the ceremony to play a bit while we signed our marriage license. He also has an electric violin that he can do looping with so it sounds even fuller. Shawn even accommodated my requests that were very specific and detailed while maintaining such a positive energy. Shawn is wonderful to work with and cares so much about what he does. We cannot recommend Shawn enough!!!

Shawn is a master at his craft! Shawn played our ceremony music and it just tied everything together so magically. The sound was impeccable, and he was SO professional! He was such a delight & easy vendor to work with, despite 3 date changes due to COVID. We never had the chance to meet prior to the wedding day because we were out of state, but I had zero worries or stress about that. Thank you, Shawn for bringing even more romance & emotion to our wedding than we thought possible!

Shawn's talent is unbelievable. I have never seen what he does. If you want a solo violinist, get Shawn. If you want a cellist, Shawn can make it sound like one is there. If you want a string quartet, Shawn can do that too, all with one instrument. If you have any doubts, have a meeting with him. We booked on the spot during our Zoom meeting. 100% recommend.

He is truly so talented, and can pretty much play any song your heart desires. The violin really added a nice romantic element to our ceremony without being overpowering. It sounded amazing even though it was a windy day! Shawn was so easy to work with and so professional the entire time. I really appreciate working with vendors like Shawn who are so organized and on top of things. I highly recommend him!

I cannot think of anything that I would have changed, he made sure we knew that it was our day and he would do whatever he could to make it as special as possible and make our vision come true. He was super easy to work with and responded back to us promptly. He set up last minute meetings with us and went above and beyond. He even sent a short sample of the song he was to play with my sister, so she could practice, since they lived so far away! The day of was perfect and everything went off without any issues!

We wanted a simple, but elegant, outdoor wedding and having a violinist was one of the key items to our ceremony. Shawn went above and beyond throughout the planning process helping answer any questions and accommodating any song requests we had.
He was by far one of the easiest vendors we dealt with, from an easy-to-use questionnaire, use of Venmo, and general easy-going and upbeat attitude.
10/10 would recommend!

He worked seamlessly with our chapel and was so kind/patient throughout. His work is beautiful and has a wide range of songs with flexibility to learn new ones. Hire him now!!!:)

I'll start off by saying Shawn is an absolute rock star. Any stress we had regarding musical entertainment was immediately relieved by how easy going and open minded Shawn was to work with. We were quite indecisive in regards to what pieces we wanted played during certain parts of the wedding and Shawn came up with a game plan and smashed it out of the park. During our first dance he made us feel like we were in a fairytale as we danced with our own violinist strolling around the dance floor, if you are looking for a truly magical, one of a kind experience for you and your guests Shawn is definitely the man for the job. I can't even count the amount of compliments we received about how awesome he was. Our wedding just wouldnt have been as special without him. At least 25 stars are needed to accurately rate his talent, highly reccomended!

Shawn was incredible at at both our wedding ceremony and reception cocktail hour. His sound is beautiful. He was serious when he said he would arrange and work to perform any song we requested. I never heard ,"No," to any of my song ideas. Shawn was diligent in ensuring a good performance, coordinating with both our priest and vocalist to ensure timing was correct etc. He responds quickly to all emails.
Thanks again Shawn! We could not have been more pleased.

Shawn is such a great performer and I'm so glad we had him at our wedding ceremony. He was so easy to work with and prior to the wedding he reached out a few times to get to know us better and to get a better understanding of our thoughts/expectations for music for our wedding. Shawn was willing to learn any song that we wanted to hear for the ceremony. He arrived early so he was all set up prior to guests arriving, and he stayed after the ceremony a bit as well so we got to enjoy his music while guests were leaving and we were taking photos. I highly recommend Shawn for your wedding or event. Can't thank you enough for making our ceremony perfect!
