Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 6, 2020•From Bronx, NY
Stephanie was amazing from beginning to end. I booked her for a surprise birthday performance for my girlfriend. It was my first time doing anything like this so I was pretty nervous but she worked with me to make everything perfect. Everything was done virtually due to COVID. My girlfriend was so surprised and loooooved the performance. Stephanie even sent a video of the performance for us to watch over and over again! Thank you so much again for helping me bring this vision to life.

It was a pleasure helping you create this moment. Thank you for trusting me to do this for you both.

Stephanie could not be more awesome - even when our bride was 30 minutes late for her vows! Stephanie handled the unexpected and unanticipated delay with professionalism. She played beautifully and everyone enjoyed her vast repertoire.
We were very fortunate to retain Stephanie. She was kind enough to share her Mother's Day with us!

Private Party•Reviewed on December 25, 2019•From Fletcher, NC
I communicated with several musicians when I initially planned to book someone. Stephanie was the clear and easy choice due to her professional, prompt, and in depth response including references, accomplishments, and videos that showed her abilities as a musician and performer. This performance was for a small gathering of my family and neighbors at our home. Stephanie communicated extremely well prior to the event including a conference call where we discussed what kind of format I wanted. She arrived on time, ready with all her equipment. She put on an absolutely amazing show including classical and holiday songs. Her personality was as great as her playing was.

This was the best Christmas Caroling party I’ve ever entertained at. Wonderful and fun family!

Funeral•Reviewed on March 12, 2018•From Old Fort, NC
What an incredible violinist. She played for my mom's funeral and I was in awe. I'm sure my mother was smiling from heaven. She opened with Ashokan Farewell - it was amazing (even better than Celtic Woman). The ministers and many guest commented on how beautiful the music was. Thank you Stephanie for making her memorial so special! Leslie

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 14, 2015•From Boone, NC
Stephanie was an incredible performer and handled every curve ball we threw at her, playing pieces she had never before played and fulfilling all the Bride's requests. She was as professional as she could be and, more than that, she had an intuitive feeling for the spirit of the occasion and just flat out knocked it out of the park. She contributed so much to the success of the event with feeling and sensitivity. If you are looking for a top flight musician for your event, do not hesitate to use her, she is the answer to your needs. Thank you Stephanie, we are fans!

This was an especially fun wedding to work on. The vision this Bride had for her wedding was so creative and it was a blast collaborating with her!

Stephanie was absolutely wonderful. She was Professional and accommodating. Shes an incredible artist who took our vision of the way the wedding ceremony music would go and made it a reality. We asked for a specific version of two different pieces be played and she nailed it. We would recommend Stephanie to our closet friends and family.

I stumbled upon Stephanie Quinn after a little hiccup left me scrambling for a ceremony musician. And boy am I glad Stephanie was still available! She is so sweet and accommodating. She truly cares about making your day as perfect as possible. She was there throughout the whole process to make suggestions and offer her professional opinion without being pushy. And as far as her talent goes, you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Stephanie, for making my day that much more beautiful.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 29, 2013•From Northbrook, IL
Stephanie is a joy, a treasure, and most definitely worthy of 5 stars! My husband and I deeply appreciated her amazing talent, which she so graciously lended to our 10/12/2013 wedding ceremony. She is professional, communicative, and insightful. She played the prelude, processional, and recessional music at our ceremony, all of which created a joyful atomsphere, in addition to treating us and our guests to a concert-worthy classical performance! Stephanie truly made our day wonderful, memorable, and uniquely ours! My husband and I could not have imagined a contribution to our event as beautiful and perfect as the one she gave us. Much gratitude from Sarah and Sean!

I was very pleased working with Stephanie from start to finish. Personal and professional, I found her easy to talk to. She took all requests into consideration and used her professional judgement when necesarry. My guests are still telling me how much they enjoyed the prelude music they heard, while awaiting our ceremony. Each musician showcased wonderful talent. I would recomend Stephanie whether you are looking for a solo performer or a small esmemble, she will deliver!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 14, 2008•From Chicago, IL
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.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 29, 2013•From Cicero, IL
Working with Stephanie was tremendous. Stephanie is extremely professional, and kept in close contact with me until the day of my brothers wedding. Her performance was flawless, hitting every note perfectly and producing full sound. All of my guests really appreciated her performance during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Her talent truly set the mood, and made the evening elegant and classy. So happy I chose Stephanie to perform at my brothers wedding. I plan to use Stephanie for my next elegant affair.

I wish to mention here deep gratitude to the many wonderful people like Mark, I had the pleasure to work with here on GigMasters. To be a high caliber full-time free-lance musician means we spent our childhood in a practice room followed by dedication and financial sacrifice as adults. We musicians appreciate the professionalism and respect of reading, signing, and abiding by our contract agreement. Making music is my job. Imparting beauty and expression is my joy! Thank you all!

Stephanie was spectacular from beginning to end in planning and accommodating to our event. A consummate professional and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again. She was simply outstanding. What's more she was able to take my request for a particular piece of complicated music that was the hit of the evening. She is a star

Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on October 31, 2012•From Mundelein, IL
Stephanie played for the social hour between our ceremony and dinner. She was absolutely fabulous! Her music added the perfect backdrop to the lovely venue. She found the right volume balance so as not to make it impossible for those who wished to 'chat'. Several members simply listened . . . I was in awe of her talent. I hope we will be able to schedule her for future occasions.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on October 19, 2010•From Chicago, IL
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!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 23, 2012•From Lemont, IL
Ms. Quinn was absolutely amazing . She went above and beyond the day of our wedding. I, the bride was 2 hours late to my own wedding (stuck at the salon with half the wedding party) Stephanie took it upon herself to play for my waiting guests in the club house. (she was only scheduled to play outside during the ceremony) Everybody complemented me about her performance. I can't thank her enough for her professionalism, understanding, and great talent she possesses. I would without hesitation recommend her to any close friend or family member and would definitely use her services again if the occasion called for a violin player.

Funeral•Reviewed on September 26, 2011•From Chicago, IL
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.

Private Party•Reviewed on September 27, 2010•From Chicago, IL
Stephanie was fantastic! I booked her to play during our proposal at the Buckingham fountains. She was on time, professional, enthusiastic & fun! She actually helped brainstorm with how to put it all together with me. Everything went very smooth and Stephanie playing the violin put the perfect touch on our amazing moment together. I would highly recommend her!

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 could not have asked for more from Ms. Quinn. She's truly a professional in every sense of the word.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 25, 2012•From Chicago, IL
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.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 27, 2012•From Chicago, IL
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!!!

Trade Show•Reviewed on June 27, 2011•From Chicago, IL
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!
