Feedback
- Jennifer Argenti is a true professional. She is the best violinist out there, bar none, AND she is so wonderful to be around, too. I hired Jennifer to play at an event attended by 300 people and she blew everyone away. All night I heard: "The violinist is amazing," and "That is the best violinist I have ever heard in my life." And she charmed everyone with her engaging smile and warm personality, too. I recommend Jennifer Argenti wholeheartedly, for any type of event. She will absolutely make your event the best it can be, the most memorable, the classiest, the most fabulous. I only wish I could have awarded more than 5 stars! Thank you, Jennifer! -- Laura R, San Diego, CA, 5/27/2008
- To everyone who wishes to have beautiful and unforgettable music at their event ~ she is the one to have! She and I met when she arrived to play at my wedding and her talents are beyond measure! I would recommend her to anyone! You will not regret having her in your memories!

A "Just Married" Bride -- Lindsay K, Malibu, CA, 11/15/2008

She made it all so easy, and our guests and guests of honor commented on how comfortable and casual the atmosphere was with the violin and guitar in background. The musicians interacted with our guests and made it fun without being intrusive. I cannot say enough good things about the entire process. I would highly recommend Jennifer and Kenny too.
