  • Such a special touch to my ceremony!

    Originally I wasn’t planning on having any live music at my wedding. My venue coordinator recommended having it for the ceremony so that everything was seamless and Im so glad we booked Jessica! I’m only sad my husband and I didn’t get to see her and enjoy her music the day of, but my friends sent me the sweetest video clips of the garden and her violin music. Jessica is so professional and was so easy to work with. Having violin music made our ceremony so perfect and we absolutely loved having Jessica be a part of our day.

    Jessica is a treasure! A joy to work with, positive and cheerful, she is the consummate professional. She was set up and playing beautifully, on time, before I even realized she had arrived at the venue. We asked for a last minute request and couldn't even provide sheet music-- she enthusiastically figured it out from a YouTube video and played it perfectly. The ceremony was outside and it was hot-- it didn't even faze her. She is a lovely person and that comes through in her beautiful music. We asked her to play some classical music for the ceremony and Celtic fiddle for the reception-- both were perfect. So glad I found her and I highly recommend you call her. Definitely will call her again!

    I worked with Jessica at a wedding at Snowbasin Needles Lodge and was very impressed with her musical abilities and flexibility. Halfway through the event she was asked to change locations and happily complied. Her presentation and music were great. There are a lot of string musicians who have difficulty playing recognizable songs. No problem for Jessica! Her repertoire is huge. You’ll be glad you hired her!
