A Note to You
Dear Couples,
I know how much thought, care, and love goes into planning your wedding. From the smallest details to the grandest moments, every choice reflects your story and your vision. It’s an honor to be considered as part of that day—to help set the tone, enhance the atmosphere, and bring your love story to life through music.
I’ve been playing the violin since I was five, and over the past three decades, I’ve had the privilege of performing at hundreds of weddings and events across the Pacific Northwest, as well as for companies like Microsoft, Dom Pérignon, and Marriott Bonvoy. My work has been recognized with The Best of the Bash awards, The Knot Best of Weddings, and induction into The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame. While awards are meaningful, the moments that matter most are those I create alongside couples, where music elevates the joy, emotion, and intimacy of their celebration.
From our first conversation, I take the time to learn about your story, your vision, and the atmosphere you hope to create. Together, we’ll design a curated musical experience—from the moment your guests arrive to the final notes of your celebration—that reflects who you are, supports the flow of your day, and leaves every detail in perfect harmony. On your wedding day, I dedicate myself entirely to your celebration, coordinating seamlessly with your venue and vendors, so you can fully embrace each unforgettable moment.
I invite you to read the reflections of past couples and experience some of the moments I’ve been honored to create. You may also enjoy exploring my media page, where you can browse through a curated selection of features and requests. Most of all, it would be my joy to help bring your story to life through music.
Warmly,
Christie
