About Jeff Lu Music

Jeff Lu Music

Owner

Hey, my name is Jeff! I'm a multi-instrumental musician who's traveled the world performing in places like Costa Rica's National Theater and Taiwan's Presidential Office. Back at home in Los Angeles, I've played in everything from short films and Broadway musicals to string quartets and orchestras, including an associate principal position with the UCLA Symphony.

Although I am on a lifelong quest to learn any instrument I can get my hands on, I specialize in the viola, the way-cooler middle sibling of the violin and the cello. There aren't a lot of us out there, especially in the wedding industry, so booking a violist is a great way to make your big day even more special ;)

    You won’t regret hiring him!

    Jeff was AMAZING! I knew from the moment I first contacted him that he was going to be great. He was so professional, stayed in communication with me, and thankfully had our wedding date available. As we continued talking, I felt more and more comfortable with him. When I met him in person, we clicked right away. He is such a personable and genuine person that it felt like I had known him for years. On top of that, his talent is incredible! I had dreamed of walking down the aisle to “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri, and hearing Jeff play it as I walked down the aisle was such an emotional moment. He played it exactly the way I had pictured it in my head, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Every song he played was beautiful, but that one will always be especially meaningful to me. Our guests absolutely loved the music and kept telling us how elegant and classy it sounded. Jeff also showed up way ahead of time and was completely prepared, which I really appreciated. Everything was perfect from start to finish. No complaints whatsoever! Jeff is incredibly talented, professional, and just an all-around wonderful person. I would 100% hire him again for any event. Thank you, Jeff, for being such a special part of our wedding day!

    Highly recommend Jeff!!

    The week of our wedding we had a very last minute cancellation and I was scrambling to find a violinist to preform at my wedding ceremony. Jeff was communicative, timely, professional and played beautifully. He saved my wedding day and I don’t know how it would’ve come together if he wasn’t available. Would definitely hire Jeffrey again in the future. Thank you again!!

    Wonderful Violinist

    Jeff was absolutely amazing to work with. From our initial introduction, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. He was even able to accommodate last-minute changes for our big day, which made a world of difference. My entire experience with Jeff was wonderful, and I never had any doubts or worries working with him. He answered every question I had and was so communicative throughout the entire process. He was professional, reliable, and truly a pleasure to work with. His beautiful talent made our wedding day that much more special, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional violinist.

    Jeff was the best!

    We worked with Jeff and we are so happy that we found him! He was the best - so professional and easy to work with, great at communicating with us and keeping us updated. He was so helpful during the planning/music selection process. Super enjoyable experience and he was a hit at the wedding!!!!!!! He played beautifully and I lost count of how many guests commented on how beautifully he played. Finding a vendor/artist that can deliver your vision is a challenge, but finding someone who can deliver AND is a great person to collaborate with is the absolute best. Jeff thank you so much for being so flexible and enjoyable to work with. We loved having you play on our special day!

    It’s Perfect’

    Working with Jeff has been an incredible experience from start to finish. I reached out to commission a custom processional song for my wedding, and he truly brought my vision to life. He took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions that made the piece even better, and executed everything beautifully. His communication, creativity, and attention to detail made the entire process easy and enjoyable. I genuinely can’t wait to walk down the aisle to a song that feels so personal and meaningful. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a talented musician who cares deeply about creating something special.

Yes! If you don't see what you're looking for in my repertoire, I would be happy to learn any and all songs you'd like. A small additional fee may apply.
Yes! I've got general liability insurance up to $1M and am happy to provide a copy upon request.
Growing up learning 6 different instruments under a variety of settings has positioned me well to tailor my performance to any circumstance. In addition, my day job as a web designer and my experience event planning for Los Angeles's creative community mean that I've got the attention to detail and coordination skills necessary to pull off a vision as singular as yours.
Great question! Imagine if the violin and the cello had a (way cooler) middle sibling. Due to the viola's unique construction, it resonates differently from other string instruments, resulting in a sound that carries the elegance of a violin and the warmth of a cello, all in one package. Compared to many other instruments, there aren't a lot of us viola players out there, so booking one is a great way to make your wedding or event stand out! ;)
Generally, cocktail attire. I take requests, though!
Yes, with your permission!
Both!
I am a one-man show, but I am open to learning and performing any kind of music.
Bridgerton for pre-ceremonies, ceremonies, and dances; lounge music for cocktail hours and receptions!
Typically, 30–60 before my contracted start time.
Not at this time.
I do not charge a setup/breakdown fee, but travel will depend on the distance of your venue from Glendora, CA. Please don't hesitate to reach out for an exact quote!
Nada!
