• Everyone at the reception was talking about Stephanie and how she created a beautiful atomosphere of music with her violin. I know people loved the music she played while they waited for the wedding cermony to start as well as the music during and after. Thank you Stephanie for making this day special. -- Terrie S, Chicago, IL, 4/14/2012
• Stephanie was wonderful, and we actually had very uncommon and specific requests for my daughter's wedding and did everything very last minute. She really exceeded everyone's expectations and we've gotten lots of compliments on our music choices, although the credit was all hers. And of course her versatility is obvious (I refer to her proficiency in both, violin and piano). Thank you so much Stephanie!!! Olga Sorokin -- Olga S, Chicago, IL, 2/25/2012
• We just had our wedding at the Chicago Trump Hotel in September and Stephanie was wonderful. She played the violin solo for my ceremony and switched to the grand piano at the cocktail hour prior to our dinner reception. We have many people in the family, including myself, who have studied music and so it was a discerning audience. While it was background music, I asked Stephanie to treat them to a classical concert and that she did. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music- Stephanie was beyond professional and is of course superbly talented. She's worth every penny and I hope you enjoy! -Catherine and Craig September 2010 -- Catherine S, Chicago, IL, 9/25/2010

• The entire party was pleased with Stephanie's performance, Nice job! -- Kathi B, Chicago, IL, 12/18/2011
• Stephanie Quinn performed at my late sister's memorial service. Ms. Quinn was extremely helpful, accommodating and understanding in the selection of music. She worked closely with me and even did her own arrangement of a selected composition. On the day of the service, Ms. Quinn accompanied by cellist, Lorraine Wallace, arrived on time and began playing as about 80 guests entered the chapel. They performed beautifully throughout the hour long chapel service. Their music was not incidental to the service but an integral part of it. At grave side, they performed two works-one somber and one, at Ms. Quinn's suggestion, uplifting. Their music is what I will remember. -- Frank A, Chicago, IL, 8/11/2011
• My experience with Stephanie was outstanding to say the least! Stephanie creatively adapted to our venue which included strolling amongst the guests playing her violin - everyone loved it. We had some time prior to the event to get acquainted and it was truly a pleasure to interact with her on a one-on-one level as well. If I am hosting another gathering in the Chicago area, booking Stephanie will be my first call. I highly recommend Stephanie and would gladly share my experience further if desired. -- Chris Z, Chicago, IL, 4/14/2008
• Stephanie did a great job helping us through the whole process (it's not as straightforward as a novice like myself thought it would be)! I can't thank her enough for making our day that much more memorable! -- Brian S, Chicago, IL, 9/9/2011
• This was our company's second time using the services of Stephanie Quinn for a musical performance at a corporate event. Last time, two different musicians handled the sessions we needed due to scheduling conflicts. Bother were terrific. This time, Stephanie herself was able to perform. We found her to be personable and very talented. We would recommend her and the musicians she places for others considering using Stephanie Quinn. Thank you! -- Maggie S, Chicago, IL, 6/20/2011

I would highly recommend her! -- Josh P, Chicago, IL, 9/24/2010
• Ms. Quinn arrived on time and ready to perform. The music was flawless. Our guests had all positive comments. The music added such an emotional flare to my son's outdoor wedding.

• I asked Stephanie to play romantic music at a lunch with my wife on our 10th anniversary. She was non-intrusive, played beautiful music, showed up on time, and was a lovely person all around. It was a complete surprise to my wife and she was blown away by the romance that Stephanie helped to create. -- Rick T, Glenview, IL, 8/4/2010
• We hired Stephanie on violin along with her friend Lorraine Monaco Wallace who played cello for our company Christmas party. Stephanie's communication and helpfulness was amazing!

I would hire them both again. -- Rebecca C, Laporte, IN, 12/10/2010
