We hired Veronique to play the violin and keyboards for our intimate wedding in New Canaan, CT. As an event planner myself, I understand all the moving parts involved in wedding planning and working with different wedding professionals. Veroni...

que was the perfect addition to our team. She was very responsive to questions and concerns, and even extended her hours with us when I requested that from her. On top of that, her performance for our ceremony was beautiful. She timed our processional song perfectly with our aisle walk and had our guests clapping and singing along to our recessional song. She played our first dance song perfectly on the piano and even sang it as well. Overall a very lovely experience working with Veronique and I highly recommend her! Thank you so much Veronique!

Hiring Veronique was one of the best decisions that I made on my wedding day. She came early, played absolutely beautifully, and even added some prelude music on the fly when my limo was stuck in traffic. She is so sweet and easy to work with!

Hello! My name is Veronique, and I have been a violinist and singer for the last 20 years. I began playing weddings, church services, and more at age thirteen, and have loved making music for people's special occasions ever since! As a 2023 bride, I understand the stress and overwhelm as well as the joy that can come with planning a wedding. With all my couples, I try to take the stress out of planning the music for your wedding by being flexible, communicative, and transparent with all of my services. I look forward to bringing music to you on your special day!
