Zoe made our wedding ceremony incredibly special and I was ecstatic to have her play for us. She also learned a new song for when I walked down the aisle so that I could surprise my husband with one of his favorite songs. She is magnificent!

Zoe played music for our ceremony in Hampton Park. She worked with my planner to find the best location and get set up, and played while we entered the space and took photos. She expertly looped our professional music when people walked slower than we anticipated. She was fantastic and made the day so much more emotional, intimate, and special!

We had a violin & piano duo play for our prelude and ceremony on Oct 21st at the Gadsden House and we cannot recommend Zoe & team enough! Zoe was so responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process, completely understood the oldies playlist we were looking for to fit our brunch wedding vibe, and even learned a new song (This Magic Moment) when I shared that was my preferred ‘walking down the aisle’ song and it was not on Zoe’s original list. The song turned out SO beautifully and perfect the day of!! Thank you so much Zoe!

Zoe was wonderful! She very responsive to emails as I was trying to plan a wedding in a different time zone. As the bride, I didn’t get to enjoy her as much as I’d like but hearing her play as I walked down the aisle and again at the cocktail hour, was beautiful. She’s truly talented and was such a perfect addition to our small wedding. Thank you again Zoe!

Zoe is so sweet and easy going! She is so talented her music will bring a tear to the toughest persons eyes. We gave her our “play list” four days before our wedding and she nailed every single song like she had been practicing 24/7. Our guests raved about her during cocktail hour about the ambiance she created at our ceremony. We were so happy to have her and I would recommend her for any wedding (no matter the size), cocktail hour or party. Having a violinist at your wedding creates all of the feels and is worth every penny!! Thank you so much Zoe for your wonderful talent and spending your Halloween with us!!

Zoe did an excellent job with the music for my wedding. She played violin (and coordinated with a pianist and vocalist) for our first dance and for the father/daughter dance. I picked "At Last" and "What a Wonderful World" and the music was exactly what I hoped for. When Zoe plays the violin it's like you are seeing and listening to a muse straight out of Greek mythology!
