Jessica was such a pleasure to work with. She made everything so easy. She responded to every question and walked me though choosing music. My wedding got switched from Saturday to Friday last minute due to a blizzard and she was able to find musicians for me, it was not an issue at all. I am so lucky to have been able to work with them and have AVIVA Strings perform at my ceremony. I am still getting phone calls about how beautiful it was and how special it made the ceremony. Thank you so much Jessica and AVIVA Strings!!
