Wedding Ceremony with Virginia James Music
We have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Virginia James Music. They made the planning process very seamless and were very responsive and easy to work with. They were always happy to jump on a call and discuss some questions we had and go over details. Alicia and Chris were so much fun to work with when deciding our songs and how our ceremony was going to play out. We picked a song for the recessional that was not on their list and their performance with it exceeded our expectations. We had them for an hour before the ceremony and throughout the entire ceremony itself. The music was amazing and matched exactly what we were going for. We are so grateful that we found them and were able to work with them for our wedding day. We cannot thank them enough! We would choose them again and again!!
Best for any type of event or setting!
Virginia James played at my sister’s wedding! Chris and Alicia’s talent, professionalism, and warm presence made the day even more special. They set the perfect tone, sounded amazing, and a joy to work with from the start to finish. So many guests commented on how great the music was and how much they enjoyed it! Highly recommend Virginia James for any event—you won’t be disappointed!
Amazing performance by Virginia James Music!
Alicia and Chris did such an amazing job at my wedding ceremony this past August! They are so easy to work with, and are very responsive, kind, professional and talented! Their prices are reasonable, and the planning process was so seamless. I greatly appreciated their enthusiasm and interest in the planning elements of my wedding and music preferences. They also kindly provided their recommendations and playlist of music. They even offered to learn any special songs we wanted to have played. I highly recommend them for your event. Truly one of the highlights of our special day with their beautiful performance!

Alicia and Chris (of Virginia James music) were truly incredible. They made our special day so magical with the music they sang and played. All of our guests separately commented on how amazing they were. They did such a great rendition of our wedding song as well which they learned just for us! They both complement each other so well musically. Aside from the music, they were also a complete pleasure to work with, professional from the get go and made planning such a breeze. We are definitely going to use them again if we ever have another need for live music in the future.
Response from vendor•Dec 15, 2025Zain! Thank you so much for having us! It was such a pleasure to play for someone who loves music as much as we do! We felt so welcome, and the two of you are just so perfect together. There is nothing but love happening! We wish you many happy moments together and lifetime of love and prosperity! Peace, Alicia and Chris
