Kind Words
from happy clients
Kristen was FANTASTIC to work with from beginning to end! We wanted to have a special late night electric violinist performance at our wedding reception. Kristen was beyond professional, worked with us in the weeks leading up to our event, coordinated with our DJ on logistics and timing. Kristen learned a particular song for us (within about a week) and knocked it out of the park! Each song that Kristen performed was awesome. Great talent and personality. She went above and beyond for us and was super sweet. Highly recommend Kristen Monnik!

Hire, hire, hire Kristen Monnik. She was a dream to work with. My daughter, the bride, was thrilled with the service, so therefore, so was I! Kristen worked with the bride and groom on special requests. The music was beautiful and the sound was enchantingly beautiful. Kristen, although I did not get to formally say goodbye since the family was taking pictures, I want to say “Thank You So Very Much.” You were incredible to work with. You are so talented. I especially appreciated working with you on the processional. It was my honor to sing the song with your accompaniment. My sisters agreed, I had never sounded better. You are amazing. Use me as a referral, please.

Kristen was the perfect final touch for my ceremony. I received so many compliments on how great she was and how unique it was to have the music live. Super easy to work with, responds to emails quickly, and is willing to learn whatever you want played!
Krystal B. - Bride
We were so happy with Kristen! The bride and groom are musicians and they were very impressed with Kristen and all of the guests loved the music. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made!
Stephanie V. - Mother of the Groom
Kristen was absolutely amazing! An immensely talented violinist, Kristen played “All of Me” by John Legend in the Prudential Building Skywalk before I proposed to my fiance on Oct. 1. Beyond the obviously fact that Kristen plays a top-notch violin, she went above and beyond the call of duty – coming to the site visit as well as showing up early on the night of the proposal to make sure she was ready to go. I couldn’t have asked for a better person or performer to help make this special occasion an unforgettable one. She is a must-hire for any event you have!!
Gavin F. - Groom-to-be
Kristen was a joy to work with. Her performance was phenomenal and classy. Her prices are more than fair for what you receive. Quite a steal if you ask me! Communication was smooth and prompt. Also, multiple payment options was a huge help. Kristen is highly recommended and you will not be disappointed!!
Chris J. - Groom
Kristen was perfect!! She was beyond helpful with song suggestions for our wedding. And any song I wanted her to play, she did with no problem. She played so beautifully. You can’t go wrong with Kristen!!
Kate D. - Bride
Hiring Kristen for our wedding ceremony sound was a very easy and good choice! She was quick to respond to correspondences, helpful when asking for advice/recommendations, and made the booking/planning process very simple. I already knew what song I wanted to walk down the aisle to (and that I wanted it to be played on the violin) before reaching out, and since I was unable to meet with her in person before the wedding rehearsal, she sent me a recording of her playing the song on the violin for me to listen to before moving forward with her service. It gave me chills and we immediately booked. On the day of, in person, it sounded even more amazing – which I didn’t think was possible! She helped make my wedding dreams come true! Thank you so much for providing beautiful sound to Matt and I’s wedding ceremony, Kristen! I highly recommend!
McCall & Matt - Bride and Groom
Kristen was amazing. From the moment that I booked her for my wedding, she was courteous, quick to respond, and accommodating. Kristen has a fantastic list of songs that she already knows and was able to play a special request for me and my husband. She didn’t miss a note! When a guest arrived late after the bridal party procession started, she didn’t let it throw off her timing and my bridal march started perfectly on time. The guests at my wedding could not stop raving about how beautifully Kristen plays the violin. My grandma, who is the biggest violin enthusiast I know, was blown away. I still can’t stop smiling thinking about how perfect she helped make our day!
