We wanted our 10th wedding anniversary to be ; romantic, classy, and a touch of elegance in which our violinist did an exceptional job. I am looking forward for another special occasion where we can invite him back.

Thank you Jonathan, it was a pleasure and an honor, everything felt truly magical the entire time .

"We felt it was inappropriate for him to ask us for money during our cocktail hour, especially since we already had someone managing that aspect. It was surprising that he interrupted a conversation with my husband to make such a request without even offering congratulations. We offered to pay prior to the wedding. This came off as quite unprofessional. I intended to discuss this with him directly and requested a phone call, but unfortunately, he did not follow up."
:
Hello Angeline, thank you for having me during your special day, it was truly an honor for me to perform.
I apologize that it came off inappropriate however cocktail hour was over and I had another event right after, our plan was set to have this balance during the cocktail hour so I didn't have to come looking for you, also I returned your call and it wasn't answered.

We hired Leo for my sister’s wedding, and he was absolutely incredible. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, his music added a stunning, emotional touch to the entire day. He played every song we asked for perfectly and even went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed smoothly. Guests were completely blown away—his talent and presence have been the talk of the wedding ever since! People are still raving about him days later. He brought such a special energy to the celebration, and we truly believe the day wouldn’t have been the same without him. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking to make their event unforgettable.

We had the absolute honor of having Leonard perform at our wedding, and WOW — he was unforgettable.
He played during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and every single guest commented on how magical the music felt. The atmosphere they created was romantic, classy, and personal — it truly elevated the entire experience.
If you're thinking about hiring live music for your wedding — do yourself a favor and book Leonard!! I can't imagine our day without him!!

Not sure words can do this review the justice it deserves. That is how happy I am with Leonard’s performance at my engagement party. The cocktail hour was the best thanks to him! My guests cannot stop talking about him! I watched his videos and knew I wanted him to perform, but honestly my mind was blown on how truly talented & beautiful it turned out! If you want a memorable experience, do not hesitate to hire Leonard. His poise, appearance, personality & professionalism will leave you speechless! The talent is second to none! Thank you Leonard. You are a true star!

Thank you Gianine, we truly had an amazing time!

Leo was so incredible! We had a last minute venue change and it impacted timing a bit as well but Leo stuck with us and made the day so special. Everyone had rave reviews about his performance. We had a couple of songs requests ourselves but then left the rest to him. He knocked it out of the park and brought such a great energy to our day.

What can I say, Leonard definitely made the day ten times better with his talented playing. Adding that violin touch to any event will always elevate the experience. We requested a song he didn’t know and he made it possible, thank you so much Leonard it was nice meeting your wife as well.

Two words to describe Leonard performance was “exceptionally captivating.”
He was very professional, punctual, and communicative.
Leonard performance had blown my guests away and made my grand entrance very remarkable.
He definitely understood the assignment. I definitely recommend him and he has a loyal client for life.

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! He played all the hottest songs, keeping the dance floor packed all night. Not only did he listen to our requests, but he also gave fantastic suggestions that perfectly fit the vibe we were going for. The photo booth he provided was a hit-it looked so cool and added an extra layer of fun for our guests. He was the biggest hype man, full of energy, and made sure everyone had a great time. Plus, he was incredibly easy to work with and super chill. Highly recommend!
