Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on March 22, 2024•From Hamburg, NJ
Mr. Slava played happy birthday to my daughter when she was one yr old. Fast forward and we were able to find him again to play at her Quinceanera (15yrs). He is so talented, he was able to play a very difficult piece that my daughter has loved for some time. I hope that he will be able to play for her wedding someday. Anybody would be so lucky to have him for their event.

Thank you, Dayana, for excellent review and warm words!

Slava was great for our venue! He was able to move around the room for everyone to enjoy. I would recommend him for any venue looking for an elevated event as he played our event of 200 women and they all enjoyed the intimacy he provided. He would be an asset to your event.

Slava Gelfand is very talented and professional. He showed up early to be sure he was in the right place. His beautiful music made the occasion special and he played far more than what we asked for. It takes a very dedicated artist to come to a rustic park for a tiny wedding and make it beautiful. Everyone loved it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any occasion.

Anne, thank you very much for such warm words and excellent review! I enjoyed playing in such a beautiful area. Congratulations to you, Luke, and Paige!

Slava was awesome. He was punctual and communicative. With the stress of planning a wedding, you tend to get worried that everyone may cancel on you. He was in communication with me at all times which gave me peace of mind. His price is very reasonable and he is highly skilled with the violin. I would definitely hire Slava again in a heart beat.

Thammy, thank you very much for the excellent review and warm words!
If you would like me to play at the events in the future, I would be glad to play. Congratulations!

Mr. Slava Gelfand is an excellent violinist and an overall superior performer. He worked with me before the performance to tailor it to be exactly what I wanted. He carried out that exact style and flavor to his music. He blends well into the background of the setting. Yet all guests were drawn to his beautiful music and his comments made before each piece was played. He was as one of the guests with tremendous talent. I have passed his name on to othersand I will surely use him again.

I thought I was at a concert at Carnegie Hall. Everyone was extremely impressed and entertained. People loved him very much. I paid for another hour!!!!! Such a bargain!! He will be my default music for parties because he can play in background but has the talent to stop conversations in their tracks with his music!!! SOOOOOOOOOO happy with Slava Gelfand!!!!!!

Bruce, thank you very much for such warm feedback. I try to do my best because I love to perform bringing positive emotions.

Slava was fabulous in every possible way! He played a surprise concert for my parents for my mom’s birthday on their balcony. From the get go Slava was very professional, communicative, and accommodating. He curated the playlist based on my parents’ interests, was very easy to email with and accommodated my plan for the surprise, came early and with everything he needed, played absolutely beautifully, and was very kind and engaging with my parents. In addition, he is a very talented and knowledgeable musician. I am so glad to have connected with him and got to experience his playing. We will book him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking!

Great performance from Slava. Slava was punctual on the event day. He delivered what we talked about to the T.
Slava was also very flexible, when it came to timing changes. Planning a wedding always causes you to change and update your timing and Slava was very understanding, and compliant. So thank you Slava for making our day special :)

Slava is an excellent violin player and made our wedding ceremony so memorable! We had a beach wedding & Slava played on the beach as our guests arrived to the wedding! We had so many guests tell us that it was such a nice scene to walk onto the beach and to hear an amazing violin player! We are so thankful Slava was available to play at our wedding!!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Slava was professional, very kind, patient, and sooooo TALENTED. He has been playing violin professionally for many years and it really shows in his performance. I hired him to perform for my mother in her home (she broke her ankle and I wanted to surprise her with something special). Slava took extra time to answer all of her questions and shared the history of each song upon her request. His range of knowledge from classical to popular music was astounding. He played so beautifully it brought tears to her eyes. I highly recommend Slava to anyone for any type of performance. 5 stars! We will hire him again for future events.

Slava was excellent and it was a great joy to have him perform for my mom. Slava's talent for violin is immense and orchestra quality, like a solo violinist with a world class orchestra. I recommend him for any event that calls for exquisite classical violin playing. Slava was also kind, courteous and accommodating regarding the exact time he would play, giving us an option. Slava was friendly and we hope to refer him to our friends. Thanks Slava!
