Samantha Gillogly did an amazing job, she was focused, Social on her break between picking music, professional. She made or anniversary unforgettable. The traditional dinner and movie sound great, but for a unique, complet, romantic anniversary celebration Samantha is the person we highly recommend. Thank you, for your services both Gig master & Ms. Samantha Gillogly Always, Mr. And Mrs. Owen

Best Money I Ever Spent! Samantha was wonderful and everyone loved the music! She even let my Uncle sing with the quartet while they paid. Just beautiful! If I ever need a quartet again I know who I am calling!

Engagement Party•Reviewed on August 18, 2013•From Hague, NY

I hired Samantha to play a specific song for a proposal to my gf. Not only did she play the song very well, but she also was flexible with the location and my parameters. This wasn't a huge party or anything like that, but she was purely professional, no matter how small the actual event was. Samantha was very kind and made the whole thing very easy to do. I hope more people are able to utilize her talents and personality. Thanks again! John S. PS - The gf said YES!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 17, 2013•From West Dover, VT

We hired Samantha for our wedding of 40+ people to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour. She was very accommodating as we changed the time on her somewhat last minute and also moved her playing location a few times, in part due to adverse weather. We largely gave her freedom to choose the songs and she made great selections. Her music was great and everyone really enjoyed it. We would highly recommend Samantha.

Samantha played at my wedding reception. She was wonderful to work with, very professional, friendly, and extremely talented. Samantha was exceptional and her performance was outstanding. Also, I had wonderful comments from my guest that Samantha’s performance was astonishing and how much they enjoyed her. I can’t tell you enough how amazing Samantha is. She truly made my wedding reception breathtaking. I highly recommended!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 23, 2012•From Newport, RI

I can't say enough good things about Samantha Gillogly. She showed up to our ceremony on time, was very professional and sounded excellent. She even went out of her way and learned some new songs that I had hoped could be played at our ceremony. On a scale of 1-5 stars I would give her a 6. Anyone who books her for their special event will not be disappointed. I would recommend her to anyone.

Community Event•Reviewed on July 2, 2012•From Chicago, IL

We booked Samantha for Grand Roll-Out Celebration hosted by Sbarro, the world's largest mall pizza and Italian food chain. Samantha did a wonderful job playing classic Italian music and contemporary songs for our guests to enjoy. Not only is Samantha a fantastic musician, but she did a great job of working the crowd. Terrific music and a wonderful vendor to work with! We couldn’t be more pleased and we would definitely recommend Samantha as a solo act and we hope to have Samantha back again.

Samantha was kind and accomodating. She is a good violinist and certainly met our needs. We communicated well in the months up to the event; she asked good questions and was very well prepared for our wedding ceremony. I would recommend Samantha to others looks for a similiar service.

We loved working with Samantha. She was professional, friendly, talented and very accommodating. She was exceptional. I am so glad she was part of our wedding day. Her music and personality were the perfect "cherry on top". I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a violinist to play on their special day.

Concert•Reviewed on October 2, 2011•From Dedham, MA

We were pleased to have Samantha play fiddle for our first-ever hymn festival in Dedham, Massachusetts on September 25, 2011. In addition to being a very competent performer, she was involved in the planning stages of the event and was able to combine pieces from her existing repertoire with new works in conjunction with our own parish ensembles. Her contribution helped establish our hymn festival as an annual event, and we look forward to hiring Samantha again soon. Highly recommended!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 27, 2011•From Plymouth, VT

Samantha played beautifully! I had requested a variety of special songs that were not of the traditional wedding theme but Samantha was able to play them all! I had many people comment on how beautifully she played and my day was exactly how I had imagined it with her playing. She greeted my guests and myself with a high degree of professionalism and was very patient not to mention she drove a long way to perform for the ceremony. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to play for a special occasion. I couldn't have picked a better soloist!
