Review by Mark I.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 29, 2013•From Cicero, IL
Working with Stephanie was tremendous. Stephanie is extremely professional, and kept in close contact with me until the day of my brothers wedding. Her performance was flawless, hitting every note perfectly and producing full sound. All of my guests really appreciated her performance during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Her talent truly set the mood, and made the evening elegant and classy. So happy I chose Stephanie to perform at my brothers wedding. I plan to use Stephanie for my next elegant affair.

I wish to mention here deep gratitude to the many wonderful people like Mark, I had the pleasure to work with here on GigMasters. To be a high caliber full-time free-lance musician means we spent our childhood in a practice room followed by dedication and financial sacrifice as adults. We musicians appreciate the professionalism and respect of reading, signing, and abiding by our contract agreement. Making music is my job. Imparting beauty and expression is my joy! Thank you all!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 20, 2013•From Munster, IN
Talking with her before the ceremony was the easy part. She seemed excited and willing to do whatever we asked. The day of the wedding? Terrible. She kept emailing my bride about the weather (worrying her violin would be cold and it would rain, and threatening not to come). We had an outdoor ceremony, but it was entirely covered. It was 72 degrees and not a drop of rain. The chance of rain for the entire day was only 20%. Why she decided to complain to my bride the day of our wedding I have no idea, just to be difficult I suppose. SHE WAS LATE on top of it. She definitely played beautifully once she finally arrived, but too difficult to deal with otherwise.
:
I was excited about this Celtic ceremony!I have a precious concert violin; it's tone cuts through wind/distance wo/amplification! 2 days before this job I began to dread it. While in traffic, client informed me in an unscheduled 'consultation' the wedding was outdoors 'somewhere' on the grounds! I reminded him our contract specifically states I don't play uncovered by rain; he offered no specific location or coverage. Forecast was 80% rain at wedding hour so I did try to get exact location & assurance I'd be covered--no response. Due to accident on I-94, I arrived 3 minutes before the hit, played immediately. To compensate, I performed past the contracted stop time.

Stephanie was spectacular from beginning to end in planning and accommodating to our event. A consummate professional and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again. She was simply outstanding. What's more she was able to take my request for a particular piece of complicated music that was the hit of the evening. She is a star

Private Party•Reviewed on November 17, 2012•From Mundelein, IL
Jennifer Silk, our strolling violinist , made our evening. The music she played brought back such fine memories of her mentor 'Franz Benteler' and his Royal Strings. Jennifer is not only talented but puts fun into her performance with such interesting stories.
She knows how much we enjoyed her music and frankly, i think she really enjoyed playing for us as well. What a wonderful combination. God willing we both will enjoy being together next year.

Review by Kyra G.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 1, 2012•From Barrington, IL
Stephanie is very accommodating especially because her schedule is so busy. She fit me in between a tour and another performance. She arrived ahead of time to even play music for guests arriving. However, I would make sure to speak to her over the phone. We exchanged multiple emails about how I wanted Canon in D for the bridal party and air on the G String for myself and she flip flopped it during my ceremony which caused my husband to sweat bullets waiting for me at the alter and a tiny delay. When someone grabbed me because I didn't hear my cue for my music she did start playing Air in the G String, but it was slightly disheartening for me.
:
Kyra's review is accurate. I left her ceremony in tears, feeling horrible about my failure to give my best. Besides my musical commitments, I was a new bride myself, married a few weeks ago. I am fully adjusted now; my performances even more inspired due to my happy personal life. I wish to assure future brides that such an error will never occur again.

Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on October 31, 2012•From Mundelein, IL
Stephanie played for the social hour between our ceremony and dinner. She was absolutely fabulous! Her music added the perfect backdrop to the lovely venue. She found the right volume balance so as not to make it impossible for those who wished to 'chat'. Several members simply listened . . . I was in awe of her talent. I hope we will be able to schedule her for future occasions.

She was great with communicationa and getting back to me with information. I'm also glad she was able to find someone for me in such short notices (about 11 days before my wedding date!). Great music! sounded great.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 25, 2012•From Chicago, IL
Everyone at the reception was talking about Stephanie and how she created a beautiful atomosphere of music with her violin. I know people loved the music she played while they waited for the wedding cermony to start as well as the music during and after. Thank you Stephanie for making this day special.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 27, 2012•From Chicago, IL
Stephanie was wonderful, and we actually had very uncommon and specific requests for my daughter's wedding and did everything very last minute. She really exceeded everyone's expectations and we've gotten lots of compliments on our music choices, although the credit was all hers. And of course her versatility is obvious (I refer to her proficiency in both, violin and piano). Thank you so much Stephanie!!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 23, 2012•From Lemont, IL
Ms. Quinn was absolutely amazing . She went above and beyond the day of our wedding. I, the bride was 2 hours late to my own wedding (stuck at the salon with half the wedding party) Stephanie took it upon herself to play for my waiting guests in the club house. (she was only scheduled to play outside during the ceremony) Everybody complemented me about her performance. I can't thank her enough for her professionalism, understanding, and great talent she possesses. I would without hesitation recommend her to any close friend or family member and would definitely use her services again if the occasion called for a violin player.

Stephanie did a great job helping us through the whole process (it's not as straightforward as a novice like myself thought it would be)! I can't thank her enough for making our day that much more memorable!

Funeral•Reviewed on September 26, 2011•From Chicago, IL
Stephanie Quinn performed at my late sister's memorial service. Ms. Quinn was extremely helpful, accommodating and understanding in the selection of music. She worked closely with me and even did her own arrangement of a selected composition. On the day of the service, Ms. Quinn accompanied by cellist, Lorraine Wallace, arrived on time and began playing as about 80 guests entered the chapel. They performed beautifully throughout the hour long chapel service. Their music was not incidental to the service but an integral part of it. At grave side, they performed two works-one somber and one, at Ms. Quinn's suggestion, uplifting. Their music is what I will remember.

This was our company's second time using the services of Stephanie Quinn for a musical performance at a corporate event. Last time, two different musicians handled the sessions we needed due to scheduling conflicts. Bother were terrific. This time, Stephanie herself was able to perform. We found her to be personable and very talented. We would recommend her and the musicians she places for others considering using Stephanie Quinn. Thank you!
