Musical Perfection from Start to Finish!

We were truly blessed to have Gloria play the violin at our wedding. Her broad musical repertoire spans classical, pop, Disney, movie tunes and beyond. With the solo violinist package, she arranged and learned a new song for us as part of the performance. We chose song that both of our families loved, as a symbol of the union of our families, making the ceremony extra meaningful and touching.

Gloria’s organizational skills are top-notch. She has a handy form to help sort out song choices for different parts of the ceremony, making the process straightforward and fun. Her suggestions for the prelude were spot-on and set a beautiful tone as our guests arrived.

Her performance was nothing short of magical. The Ontario Science Centre felt like Roy Thomson Hall with her on the strings. Her transitions were smooth, and her playing was impeccable, adding a touch of elegance to our geeky celebration. Many guests came up to us to compliment her exquisite playing.

Working with Gloria was a breeze from start to finish. Her talent, coupled with her professionalism, made the musical aspect of our wedding utterly stress-free and delightful. We highly recommend Gloria to anyone looking to add a beautiful musical touch to their event. A huge thank you to Gloria for making our day melodically memorable!

Spectacular!!

Hiring Gloria was the best decision for our wedding at the Cambridge Mill :) She made it so special and memorable for us and our guests, who could not stop raving about her talent! We also hired Daniel along with Gloria to play the cello for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the two of them together sounded so magical.

Gloria had such a wide variety of music to select, and even played a song for us that was not on the list upon our request. She was very responsive and answered any questions I had very quickly.

Overall, you will NOT regret hiring Gloria and Daniel and I will be recommending them to all the newly engaged couples I know!

Was the perfect touch to our wedding!

Having Gloria play at our wedding was the best decision we made!!! She is able to customize music in ways that flow and work to the pace of our ceremony. We didn't stress on how fast/slow people walked down the aisle or how big our bridal party was, she worked with us and gave us recommendations on what would work best.

Communication from Gloria was easy and she always responded promptly. She gave us a wide variety of songs to choose from as well as took any special requests.

We received so many compliments from our guests mentioning how beautiful it was. We would hire her over and over again for any of our functions in the future. Highly recommended!

Amazing Violinist

Gloria was amazing! I gave her a mash-up song from Instagram I really wanted to walk down the aisle with my parents. She did it to perfection. I cannot recommend her enough. She was super professional and allowed me to not worry about the music in the church.

A Wedding Experience Elevated

I am at a loss for words when describing the incredible talent and professionalism of Gloria, the violist who performed at my wedding. Working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She skillfully incorporated all of my song requests, captivating everyone in attendance during both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Though I didn't have the opportunity to immerse myself in her music fully, numerous guests approached me afterwards, expressing their admiration for Gloria's performance and how much they enjoyed her selections.

I wholeheartedly recommend Gloria to couples searching for exceptional musical accompaniment for their wedding. Her skill, passion, and ability to engage the audience are truly remarkable. With Gloria by your side, you can trust that the music for your special day will be nothing short of extraordinary.
