Jessica's Reviews

5 out of 5

Amazing set was done by Jessica. Guess thoroughly enjoyed the songs and were amazed at hearing some classics that they love. Would use her again in the future!

Jessica performed at our event in Nijmegen and brought so much energy, the crowd were on their feet all night long! Her set was such an exciting mix of genres, which she worked with us to tailor beforehand. She was very personable and easy to work with, checking in to make sure we were happy before and after the performance. Would highly recommend!

Jessica played the most beautiful selection of classical and popular songs for our wedding reception, our guests constantly remarked on the lovely ambience with the acoustic violin in the background! Her performances were subtle and captured all the emotions we were feeling on the day - thank you Jessica for working with us to put together such a gorgeous set list xxx
