Al Colombo

• AL COLOMBO - VIOLIN
• MIKE BENJAMIN - PIANO
• WACEK KONECZNY - ACCORDIONIST

Professional VIOLINIST, "Al Colombo," understands his role as a performer: namely to provide quality entertainment AND please clients and their guests. This requires knowledge, proficiency, experience, courtesy, honesty, being on time, and giving more than expected. That is why his melodies linger at the University of Tennessee Gardens; Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta; Yacht Club at Tellico Village, Tn; Pretty Place Chapel, South Carolina; Wright Patterson AFB Officers Dining Room, Dayton, Ohio; and in many cities like yours throughout the states of North and South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky. On the Gigmaster site you may listen to AUDIO SAMPLES, and watch a video of Al performing at a "live wedding ceremony." In addition, you may read CUSTOMER FEED BACK, (Criteria for Gigmaster's performance rating) and review his partial song list. AL maintains the highest possible rating--5 stars, and has been a successful member for over 5 years.
The $195.00 wedding ceremony fee includes music for the prelude, wedding party entrances, the recessional, plus his professional guidance during the music selection process. A travel-time & fuel-cost fee ($35 to $75) applies to gigs over 50 miles from Lenoir City, TN.
For a fuller, enhanced sound, Al has a Piano/Violin or Accordion/violin duo available, and both instruments blend exceptionally well with Al's warm violin tones. Al sports a repertoire of over 1400 selections and can perform either acoustically or amplified. (Listen to sample music audios on this Gigmaster site.) Al has a unique strolling act available for all or part of the reception. He plays the requests of your guests, thus personalizing the moment, and they just love the "special attention" that he gives them. Are you looking for a professional violinist who can plan (or help plan) and organize the music for your wedding or special event? Do you want to create the "mood and atmosphere" that YOU want, resulting in a lasting, memorable occasion? Then contact Al Colombo, "Your Favorite Violinist," by phone or email. You will receive a prompt, courteous, no obligation response. Contact information is available on the Gigmaster's site.

• Al Columbo, the greatest! All arrived 30 minutes before the event dressed in a nice dark suit and tie. Very dapper. He played in the courtyard while we had our opening comments and drinks. Then the bridesmaids and guests had a lovely meal in the Morning Room at THE Orangery in KNoxville while Al strolled around playing all our favorite tunes. He is a rare find. A trained musician that understands and meets the needs of his clientele. Al played practically nonstop for 2 1/2 hours or more. All the guests were delighted. What a way to start a Bridal Weekend! Will definitely use him again! Great guy! -- Vickie W, Knoxville, TN, 5/25/2012
• Mr. Colombo did a fantastic job at my wedding. Not only was his playing beautiful, but I really felt he went above and beyond for me with his willingness to accomodate my preferences and requests. He was one of the only musicians I considered who was willing to learn my favorite song to play for my walk down the aisle. This meant a great deal to me, and truly made our wedding feel like 'our' day with music that really suited us as individuals. His services were very reasonably priced, and on the wedding day, he was on time and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and will likely hire him again in the future myself. -- Natalie H, Knoxville, TN, 4/28/2012
• Amazing! He was very accommodating for me and my schedule and he even learned a new song that I had requested. The music was beautiful and it was a spectacular night. I proposed to my fiance in a private cabin with a candle lit dinner and his music. -- Robert G, Gatlinburg, TN, 12/17/2011
• Al played at our ceremony and a couple of hours of our recption. He followed the ques perfectly at the ceremony, and he was very accomodating at the reception.

Al went above and beyond our expections and I would totally recommend him to anyone for any event! -- Danny G, Marion, NC, 5/15/2010

• Al did an absolutely breathtaking job during my wedding! Not only did he do an amazing job at my wedding but he helped make sure that I was well prepared before the wedding. I was so stressed picking songs and Al came up with a list for me to choose from for each part of my wedding. My family couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed him being there and how well he played the music for the ceremony and the interim between the ceremony and reception. I would recommend Al for any special event. He is amazing! -- Eryn A, Kingston, TN, 11/20/2011
