    Truly Elevated Our Ceremony and Celebration

    What a great experience! Ahead of our wedding, Sandro was very professional, direct, and easy to work with. His song catalog was expansive, which allowed us to select music across a range of genres and artists to perfectly suit both our Ceremony and Happy Hour. We provided our song selections along with specific directions for entrances and exits during the Ceremony, all of which were executed flawlessly. Sandro’s performance was excellent and set the perfect ambiance for the entire event. Sandro’s electric violin performance was ideal for our outdoor November wedding ceremony (acoustic instruments can be sensitive to cold temperatures, and many performers have restrictions because of this). The sound quality was amazing, and the fact that he was entirely self-sufficient with his equipment meant there were zero complications coordinating with our DJ or other vendors. I would highly recommend working with Sandro—he was a true professional and a fantastic addition to our wedding day.

    MusicBySandro surpassed our imagination!

    As the father of the bride, I had the tremendous, good fortune of finding Sandro, to perform at my daughter's wedding! He was AMAZING! Without reservation, if you are lucky enough to have found Sandro... look NO further! Well over a year after the wedding, I know that Sandro made the day so special, that it will forever be a lasting memory for everyone that attended. Sandro simply exceeded every detail that my daughter and I asked for from the request for song titles performed during the wedding ceremony, to the cocktail hour! Hard to put into words... Sandro honored my request to accompany me and surprise my daughter, while I played the guitar and sang to her. It was so special that he graciously shared his impeccable talent as a violinist to allow me as a dad, to provide my daughter the best gift of love that I could ever imagine! I will never be able to thank him enough for this incredible memory... it turned out amazing! Please do yourself the favor of making Sandro a part of your special day... I promise, you and your guests will also be mesmerized by his awesome talent as simply the most accomplished violinists around! -Joey

    Outstanding

    MusicBySandro was an excellent choice for our wedding band and DJ. From the start, he was highly professional, responsive, and accommodated our schedule. On the day of our wedding, he was fully prepared and it was obvious he knew how to work with weddings, playing all of our requested songs and even adding some piano pieces to play along with. We didn't need to provide him with much instruction, as he clearly had extensive experience performing at weddings. His wide repertoire was impressive. We highly recommend MusicBySandro for any couple looking for a talented and experienced live wedding musician that will help make their special day unforgettable.

    Wedding ceremony violinist

    Sandro was a great addition to our wedding, I’m so happy we selected him! His communication was great from start to finish. I requested songs that weren’t on his LONG list of songs he already knew and was able to accommodate me with no issues. His list of songs he already has was so cool, we wanted not the typical wedding songs, and more of a pop/rnb vibe. I asked he can do Dangerously in love by Beyoncé when I walked down, and he nailed it! He was the one vendor I had complete confidence in, and never had to worry. All my guest raved about him. If you need a violinist for your event look no further, you will be happy! Thank you Sandro for making our day amazing!

All the time, at no extra charge.
I have an appreciation for all genres of music, which makes an authentic interpretation of the song. I have been playing 27 years and enjoy performing for people. My soundtracks are mostly live recorded piano tracks, which adds a much better ambiance for violin. I also can play over the authentic instrumental.
All the time, especially during cocktail hour.
Yes, I have my own music.
Yes, I have a lot of religious and ethnic music.
Yes, I have business insurance and can produce a certificate of insurance to your venue within 2 business days.
I was trained classical but I grew up listening to all music including world music. One thing my orchestra teacher in high school said was "always make a beautiful sound".
I am always extra early. I like to have my soundcheck done at least 15-20 minutes before guests arrive for pre-ceremony. I also have a formula of leaving extra early for any hazards or accidents on the highways.
If microphones are provided I am happy to announce the couple for the first dance, other than that I do not provide any of those services.
My quote is always an all encompassing quote, which includes travel, early departure to your venue to insure being early regardless of road conditions and traffic. Some other factors to keep in mind for a quote is the day of the week for the wedding as well as if it is peak season or not. If the wedding is on a Saturday at 3p.m and 1.5 hours away, that pretty much locks in the whole Saturday dedicated to you, so I do charge more for peak days, times, and if it is a peak month.
I do not charge sales tax.
