Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike D was amazing!!! We said after our wedding was over we wished we had just kept him instead of the DJ😂😂😂. He was truly truly an amazing talent and also very professional and extremely organized for our day. I can’t wait to book him for all our company events and my daughter’s bday and possibly her communion that’s how good he was!! If you’re looking at these reviews to see if you should call or book I hope this helps! literally I did the same thing and deciding to just give him a chance was the best decision, he plays cool, new songs, He will also learn songs for the party given enough time , he had people dancing in our cocktail hour. We got nothing but compliments and inquiries about Mike. Thank you again Mike. We will definitely be in touch!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike D Violinisnit was absolutely wonderful. We decided last minute that we wanted a violinist at my son’s wedding the weekend after Christmas, and when I called Mike, he was more than happy to come and play. Originally, we only booked him for two hours at the wedding venue, but he was so amazing that we asked him to stay for four hours. He is a true professional and an incredibly talented violinist. He played all of the songs we requested beautifully and added such a special touch to the entire afternoon. On top of that, Mike was so kind and even gave us a discount from his original price, which we truly appreciated. Our family is already looking forward to hiring him again and again. DaphnePosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was absolutely amazing! Everyone enjoyed his performance, and honestly, people were blown away by how talented he was. The party and the vibe were excellent, and several of my friends are now planning to hire him for their future events. I couldn’t have asked for a better violinist and entertainer. Five stars, Mike!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Mike as our wedding violinist for our ceremony in a large church in New Jersey, and he was absolutely exceptional. If you are looking for a violinist near you in NJ or NYC, look no further. Mike learned several special-request songs for us and even created custom violin arrangements and sheet music, which made our ceremony feel truly personal. He was incredibly flexible with all of our requests. On the wedding day we had several last-minute changes (as weddings often do!), and Mike handled everything calmly and professionally. The ceremony flowed perfectly. The music sounded amazing in the church, filling the space beautifully. Many of our guests told us afterward that the live violin added so much emotion to the ceremony. We highly recommend Mike to anyone searching for a wedding violinist in New Jersey, New York City, or the surrounding area.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike played at a wedding and was fantastic. He is spot on melody-wise and knows a wide array of music. Highly recommend him!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "Mike was absolutely amazing at our wedding! The weather that day was so cold and windy, and halfway through the ceremony we had to move everything indoors. He handled the whole situation so calmly and professionally. He moved his equipment, kept the music going, and made sure there was never an awkward pause. He also learned and performed several of our requested worship songs, including one that he played beautifully as part of the ceremony when the preacher introduced him. It was such a special moment. Our guests loved it, and we couldn’t have asked for a better musician. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a truly talented and dependable violinist!"Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
