Amazing All Around!
Verlaine played violin for my wedding ceremony back in June. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I listened to the songs that I chose for him to play on Yo...
uTube (you know, to try and prepare myself to not cry). However, the moment I stepped out of the building before walking down the aisle and heard him playing, I was instantly brought to tears. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. I had been planning this wedding for so long, and I knew from the very beginning that I wanted Verlaine to play at my ceremony. His talent and skill brought my entire ceremony together and created this overwhelmingly emotional and beautiful feel to the day. If you're looking to have a violinist at your wedding, look no further and do not hesitate to book with Verlaine. You will absolutely not regret it!

sional, kind, and just a joy to work with.
The Classiest Touch
Verlaine and his brother Oliver performed masterfully at my wedding. Without being instructed, they arrived early to provide music for the guests as they arriv...
ed. They played throughout the ceremony, and just about every guest RAVED to us about what I nice touch having love violinists perform at the wedding. I highly recommend them!
When I was considering music for my wedding, there was no other choice! Verlaine made it so easy for me - he provided a list of suggestions and when I told him I wanted something s...
lightly atypical for me to walk down the aisle he offered me a number of thoughtful options. We Skyped leading up to the wedding to discuss logistics. I had booked a harpist through my wedding venue separately (who Verlaine would not be able to rehearse with in advance), and Verlaine and the harpest came together in the minutes leading up to my ceremony and seamlessly played the most beautiful rendition of Meditation from Thais by Massenet. My dad hummed along all the way down the aisle. It was truly one of the best moments of my life. I’ll never forget it - and neither will my dad, who still brings up that wonderful moment. If he’s still doing this in 25 years, I’ll book him for my children’s weddings!
