Wonderful musicianship and professional communication

We chose ViolinMari to provide a violin-viola duo for our wedding and cocktail hour, and we couldn't have been happier with the choice! Leading up to the event, Mari was proactive and professional with communications. She worked with us to help us choose the perfect songs for our ceremony to match the tone we wanted. Her available selection had everything we needed, but we had a couple unusual requests for songs that were special to us and she was happy to accommodate with custom arrangements. To help us decide between a couple songs, she made recording so we could hear what the string versions would sound like, and she also sent audio files of the custom arrangements so we could listen in advance and know they met our expectations. Mari provided classical music for the ceremony and contemporary for the cocktail hour, and we were pleased with all of it. We loved the tone the music set, and our guests loved the music, too!

Beautiful violinist for our Wedding

Mari was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was very responsive to questions and requests throughout the process. We had a destination wedding at the Biltmore in Asheville, NC and she made the process so easy to plan from long distance. She created a violin cover of one of our favorite songs and her performance was beautiful. We would definitely recommend Mari for anyone looking for a skilled and professional violinist.
