    This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

    Petya played at our wedding on 11/19/23 during the ceremony and cocktail hour and she was absolutely phenomenal. She has tons of songs to choose from and will learn a song for you if it’s not on her list. I really wanted to walk down the aisle to “you are my sunshine” to honor my grandma who passed away. Petya learned it for me and I’m so grateful to her for making that a beautiful reality. She added an extra special touch to our wedding day and we just can’t recommend her enough! If you want an amazing live musician who goes above and beyond for you she’s the one!!

  • Don’t hesitate- book her!

    Petya is absolutely incredible- she’s the best! From our first phone call, Petya was warm and welcoming, professional and enthusiastic. It felt like talking to an old friend. She made the music process easy and stress-free, and even learned a song for our ceremony. We did not have a DJ, so everything relied on the violin. The background tracks filled in the music beautifully, and you could tell Petya gave it her all and played her heart out, and EVERYONE knew it! We had so many compliments on her and her music. When it was time for her to finish up and have some dinner, she was invited to sit at multiple guest tables, and our family didn’t want her to leave! We cannot recommend Petya more! We consider her a friend now, and know that we will meet her again in the future!
