“We hired Jonathan Joel to play at our wedding in April 2025, and he was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, he was professional, communicative, and easy to work with. He dressed perfectly for the occasion and fit the entire vibe of our wedding seamlessly. His talent is unmatched — every song was played beautifully and created such a special atmosphere for our ceremony and reception. He also offered a wide variety of song recommendations, which made planning the music so much easier. His pricing was very reasonable, especially given the quality of his performance. We were beyond pleased with his work and will definitely hire him again for future events. If you are looking for a violinist who is talented, professional, and committed to making your event unforgettable, I highly recommend Jonathan Joel.”
