What Clients Say
“Macie stepped in for us last minute as our violinist and was absolutely incredible from start to finish! From the moment she arrived everyone said how lovely and friendly she was which put everyone immediately at ease and set the tone of the wedding off to a great start. Macie is a very talented violinist and played beautifully throughout. She read the atmosphere in the room and alternated between some slower songs to some more upbeat ones later on in the drinks reception which got everyone up on their feet and warmed you for the evening. We can't thank Macie enough for being a huge part of our special day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a violinist for their wedding."

“Macie has such incredible talent, and we were so lucky to have her as a central part of our special day. She made us feel so reassured right from the first planning meeting, and never said no to any of our bespoke piece requests. It was really important for us to be played down the aisle to "concerning hobbits", and she learned it perfectly in a heartbeat without any hesitation at all. She arrived on the day looking like an absolute rock star, and transitioned seamlessly from more "formal" wedding pieces to fun, modern pop covers for the wedding breakfast and evening. You could also tell that she was having so much fun, and continued to play throughout the day and evening because the crowd loved her so much! She also played some really special pieces for me and my husband, and as music is such a huge part of our relationship, we can't tell you how grateful we were to her for creating the most immaculate vibes on the day. If you want genuine talent, presence, fun and laughter in equal measure, Macie is your girl. Do not hesitate to book her for any occasion, as she is worth every single penny and more. Thank you, Macie. You made our day so special and memorable, and for that we will always be truly grateful ❤️”

“Macie exceeded every one of my expectations and more! She was incredibly flexible and put us all at ease. As it was my first time hosting this sort of event I was extremely busy, but Macie was professional and efficient, had no problems adhering to last minute changes and was so easy to talk too. When she began to play everybody was wowed! I had mentioned some songs that I wanted to hear to Macie before the event and every one was played, she even went along with some requests from the group. Having a violinist is something different, and Macie made my event really stand-out. Fun, upbeat, professional and extremely talented.”
