Feedback

  • Though we have a very simple civil wedding party last July 18,2008 in Valencia Hotel, San Jose, CA. Because of James's music it becomes very colorful and meaningful to all of us. Truly he is not just a professional musician to us, but an instant friend as well. Job well done James! -- Nilo S, San Jose, CA, 7/18/2008
  • A wonderful person, with a powerful life story -- George S, Loma Mar, CA, 4/25/2009
  • Due to a minor issue, Mr. Farnsworth was unable to perform at our wedding. However, he handled the situation perfectly and found us a replacement that was excellent. I was both grateful and impressed that he went so far out of his way to make sure that we had a great violinist for our wedding. He even called after my wedding to follow up and make sure everything went well. His level of professionalism and concern for his customers is wonderful and I highly recommend him if you are considering him for your event. -- Lorraine B, San Jose, CA, 10/17/2009
  • James was fantastic! He really engaged our guest at our wine tasting party and played a wide variety of music for us. I look forward to booking James for future functions! Cory Weissman Location Director Winn-Dixie Marco Island -- Cory W, Marco Island, FL, 12/16/2011
