Our wedding ceremony had exactly the atmosphere I always dreamed about, thanks to Giulia’s playing. She handpicked the setlist with very tasteful pop songs. I would highly recommend her !

We chose Giulia to play background music for our event at the Taj in London. We hired her to play with her string quartet and we couldn't have been happier. Giulia was very professional and played beautifully. We will surely ask her back soon.
