"Jennifer was one of the highlights of our wedding! She was wonderful to work with- very friendly, responsive, and super talented! Her repertoire of music during cocktail hour was great for all of our guests. Jennifer created a mashup of two of my favourite songs to walk down the aisle to, which made me feel like I was living in a fairytale. She also learned songs from my favourite artist (of course I’m a Swiftie) to incorporate them into cocktail hour. I would strongly recommend her to anyone interested in adding a bit of magic in the form of live music at their wedding!"

“Jennifer and her partner, cellist Jose, did an awesome job at our wedding. They were very professional and played beautiful music together. Even learned a new song for us which was perfect. Very responsive and accommodating to us as well. Highly recommended!!!"

"I don't even know where to start with Jennifer. Planning a wedding can be so hectic at times & Jennifer was one of my favourite vendors to work with. She is so dedicated & motivated to make the music on your day as perfect as you imagined. Talented is just one of many words to describe Jennifer. She has a very detailed and diverse list of songs that she can play but is also willing to become well versed in songs that are not on that list. She made our ceremony and cocktail hour everything we dreamed of and more. We are so impressed & happy we hired her for our wedding!"
