Cocktail PartyReviewed on October 26, 2023From Middleton, MA

Abby was a pure delight. Our cocktail hour was just beautiful with her wonderful music in the background. It was perfect and we really appreciate Abby and all she did to make the evening special.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 4, 2023From Waterford, CT

Abby was so easy to work with and learned our very specific processional and recessional songs. She provided her own equipment, and scoped out a venue she had never played before to make sure things worked out smoothly. HIGHLY recommend Abby for your wedding ceremony.

Abby Thomsen:

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to work with you and Ally. I am so glad I was able help make your wedding special. Wishing you and Ally all the happiness as you begin your marriage.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 14, 2022From West Hartford, CT

Abby was both terrific to work with and incredibly talented!! I reached out to Abby to play music through both my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Abby made it so easy! Four first conversation, she took the time to know what type of music I wanted and communicated throughout the weeks/days leading up to my wedding. I also really enjoyed that there were audio clips available to listen to on her page. I highly recommend working with Abby for all types of events! Her music made for such a light-hearted and warm atmosphere. She was fantastic and contributed to such a memorable day!

Abby Thomsen:

Thank you Kayla! It was so much fun working with you and picking out songs that were meaningful for you and Nate. Thanks for choosing me to help make your day special!
