About Shirley's Strings

Shirley's Strings

Event Violinist

I am a versatile event violinist delivering high quality experiences—backed by 20 years of performance experience and a genre-spanning repertoire from timeless classics to pop covers. With a seamless booking process and stress-free planning support, clients get stunning live music without the overwhelm.

I specialize in unaccompanied arrangements. This allows me to bring an authentic and elevated sound that I am really passionate about. These arrangements sound romantic cinematic in the best ways without detracting from the most important part of the day, the couple.

    Absolutely incredible!

    Micaela is incredibly talented on the violin! Her music was absolutely beautiful and added such a special, emotional touch to my wedding ceremony. Live violin created an unforgettable atmosphere, and Micaela was truly the perfect person to bring it to life.

    Awesome Performer

    Shirley's Strings was the perfect choice for our wedding musician. From the very first call, her communication was extremely easy and she was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. On the day of the wedding, her performance was polished and professional, creating the perfect atmosphere for our wedding. She was even willing to learn a very specific song that was very important to us, going above and beyond to make our day special. Shirley's Strings provided incredible value - her high-quality work was worth way more than we had to pay. We would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding performer.

    Incredible!

    Hiring Micaela was hands-down one of the highlights of our wedding day. The music created such a romantic and intimate atmosphere — it honestly felt like something out of a movie. Not only is she incredibly talented, but also kind, organized, and accommodating with our song requests. The live performance elevated the entire ceremony and made it feel so meaningful. We are so grateful and would recommend Micaela to anyone looking to add something truly special to their event.

    Micaela was truly incredible to work with from start to finish. I am so grateful for the knowledge, experience, and calm confidence she brought to the entire process. There are so many little details to think about when planning a wedding, and having someone who knew exactly what she was doing meant I never had to worry about this part of the day. Her music was absolutely beautiful and added such a special feeling to our ceremony. It was one of those touches that made the whole day feel even more meaningful and memorable. If you are considering having a violinist for your wedding or event, do it. And better yet, work with Micaela. She was wonderful, professional, talented, and such a joy to have as part of our day. I would recommend her without hesitation.

    Micaela was amazing, performing at our wedding. She was prompt, professional, and was able to accommodate our needs on such short notice! We really appreciate being able to meet with her before hand and her desire to make sure our music was perfectly matched for what we wanted at our service. Would recommend her to anyone!


Generally I wear black as to not detract from the music; however, if you have a certain request I am happy to work with you.
Yes! My number one goal is to customize the music to fit your style and event. Depending on the song, there may be an additional charge. We will definitely discuss this before signing a contract.
In order to ensure the most high quality performance for your event, I do not take music requests during the event. I put many hours into making sure the music is practiced, and perfected for you specifically. If you would like to add additional songs before the event, I request that you let me know at least two weeks before the event.
In order to have a stress free day for all involved, I arrive at the event at least an hour before the start time. If you would like more time than this, let me know, and we can make something work. I want you to feel comfortable!
