Julie Schatz Music

I'm Julie, an NYC-based professional violinist and jazz pianist who plays weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I trained formally in jazz, and The Bash named me one of their Best of 2025. I keep a repertoire of more than 200 songs and I'm always glad to learn one that means something to you. Above all I care about getting the feeling right, from your walk down the aisle to the last song of the night.

Most couples try to work out how many musicians they need. One for the ceremony, another for cocktail hour, a DJ for the reception, then hope it all fits together on the day. I take that off your plate. I'm one musician who can carry the whole celebration, so the music feels like one continuous thread instead of three bookings stitched together. Live violin has a warmth no speaker can match while you walk down the aisle. I learn the songs that matter to you, even ones never written for violin, and I read the room as the night moves. You are not booking background noise. You are booking someone who takes your day as seriously as you do.
