Now booking weddings 8-12 months in advance
Please reach to us at sj@sjviolin.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Because I limit the number of wedding and event commissions accepted each season to guarantee an uncompromised level of preparation, prime weekend dates (especially May through October) routinely book 8 to 12 months in advance. I recommend inquiring as soon as your date and venue are secured.
I specialize in high-caliber experiences designed for clients who prioritize exceptional quality, seamless execution, and meticulous detail over low-cost alternatives.
If you are looking for an uncompromising standard of service, please submit an inquiry with your event date, location, and type of event, and I will be delighted to prepare a customized proposal.
To ensure every client receives my complete focus, seamless technical setup, and standard of artistic excellence, I operate on an event-based minimum investment rather than hourly pro-rating. Whether performing for a key ceremonial moment or a multi-hour reception, the preparation, scheduling exclusivity, and dedication remain uncompromised.
My musical specialization focuses on classical masterpieces, contemporary pop hits, cinematic film scores, jazz standards, modern R&B, hip-hop, and Arabic music. To maintain the highest standard of artistic integrity, I specialize strictly in these genres and do not offer country, bluegrass, or traditional fiddling styles.
While every artist has a distinct tone and technique, I excel at capturing the exact energy, tempo, and feel of reference arrangements you love—whether it is a viral acoustic cover or a high-energy electric performance. During our planning consultation, we will review your musical references to ensure the performance reflects your precise vision. To ensure every arrangement is crafted and rehearsed to perfection, custom song requests must be submitted at least 4–6 weeks prior to your event date.
Yes! I offer mobile performances that allow me to mingle and engage with guests throughout your cocktail hour or reception. Because my active repertoire spans over 700 custom arrangements, a discreet, low-profile sheet music station is subtly positioned nearby to seamlessly access any song requests.
Both instruments offer distinct aesthetic and sonic qualities depending on the mood of your event:
Yes. While based in Metro Detroit and frequently performing throughout Michigan, Ontario, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, I am fully equipped to travel nationwide and internationally. Travel accommodations, transit logistics, and equipment arrangements are seamlessly integrated into custom destination proposals.
For performances under three hours, no meal accommodations are required. For extended bookings (3+ hours), a vendor meal and brief break during set transitions are appreciated to ensure energy levels remain high throughout your event.
I bring over 25 years of dedicated classical training and professional performance experience to every event. Having performed across premier wedding venues, high-profile corporate galas, and private celebrations, I specialize in blending timeless violin technique with contemporary hits, jazz standards, and modern pop classics.
My goal is not simply to play background music, but to curate an immersive, atmospheric soundscape tailored specifically to the energy and aesthetic of your event.
I am a solo act for a reason. I can, however arrange for a duet with a guitar, piano, harp, or another string instrument. For arrangements with 3 players or more, I will have to refer you to someone else.
