Eden Ehm - Violin & Hardingfele 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Wadena, IA

I am a professional violinist and fiddler available to perform within the Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin tri-state area. (Note: my travel radius is within approximately a 60-minute drive of the tri-state.) A classically trained violinist for 30+ years, I play professionally in several area symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles and perform solo for special events. I have also played the Hardanger fiddle, Norway's national folk instrument, for 15+ years and am available to perform, demonstrate, and lecture about this unique instrument.

Eden’s program on the Hardanger fiddle was phenomenal! Not only was it entertaining, it was educational. We've all listened to Hardanger music over the years, but Eden shared so many facts about the instrument and shared stories and history from the past. Mange takk, Eden!

DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Wadena, IA

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.
