Feedback

  • Damian was a perfect addition to the cocktail hour at our wedding. He's talented, personable, and professional. He performed the type of music we requested with great skill. We highly recommend him for your event. With thanks, Colleen McDermott -- Colleen M, Somerset, NJ, 11/15/2008
  • I was absolutely amazed at Damian's professionalism. He interacted with all the guests at my reception and was more than willing to play their requests. He was very careful not to interfere with anyone and he was very jovial and an excellent violinist. Being a singer myself I never heard any songs played incorrectly or out of tune. I would hire him again for any special occasion. I hired him for two hours and kept him for an another extra hour. Hiring Damian will be a joy, he will not disappoint you. -- Ronald T, Southington, CT, 9/4/2011
  • Damian was a delight to work with! He turned our normal boring office celebration into a fun, energized party. He was professional throughout, in appearance, showmanship, and talent. I would definitely ask him back in the future. -- Roger T, Princeton, NJ, 9/21/2006
