Alan was wonderful! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone and the guests loved him.

Mr. Oresky's performances were an ideal enhancement to our wedding and reception. We also found him timely, well-prepared, and pleasant to work with. Our guests all agreed that his violin performances helped give our event an especially warm and elegant feel, both indoors and outdoors in a garden setting.

What a great guy! Alan helped make our reception special and memorable. At the end, a crowd gathered around Alan as they were mesmerized. Heck, I ended up extending him for another two hours and our guests would probably have enjoyed hearing him play all night. Thanks Alan for being so accommodating.

Alan arrived in plenty of time to set up for the party and test out his equipment. The music was wonderful and added a special cachet to my holiday party. His selection of music was wonderful and he handled special requests with ease. Thank you Alan.

Alan's performance at our wedding was exceptional, lovely and enchanting (I could go on and on). Everyone at our reception had a wonderful time. He performed exactly what we requested and was very accommodating. We will definitely request his services again.

Alan provided just the right mix of background music for our corporate reception and dinner. His music was well received and appreciated by all the attendees. He proves that one person can successfully provide wonderful entertainment.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 1, 2007•From Leesburg, VA

Alan did a fantastic job on our wedding day! Not only did he arrive early and begin playing he continued to play beyond the 2 hrs that was scheduled. Alan played various types of music and had no problem accommodating requests. We loved the Irish music he played being that the majority of our family members are Irish. I would highly recommend Alan to anyone looking for a professional,talented and entertaining Violinist & Mandolin player. Thanks Alan!

We were very pleased with Alan Oresky's performance and professionalism at our wedding. Music is such an important part of a wedding and I'm so glad that Alan's music was part of ours! I would definitely recommend him to others to add to their special day.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 7, 2007•From Millersville, MD

Alan performed for my July 7, 2007 wedding reception and was exceptional in every regard. He even went above and beyond to find a rather obscure composition that my husband particularly wanted to hear. A number of guests remarked to me that they were impressed with Alan's performance. He set the perfect tone and ambiance for the event. I highly recommend him! Emily K. Bibby Mitchell

Alan Oresky played the violin at our engagement on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. It was a very special day, and he added the perfect touch. Alan was willing to take requests and could play anything by memory. He is extremely talented and attracted quite a crowd. Alan was very willing to accomodate our requests. He showed up early and was ready to perform. Now Alan is 2 for 2 on engagements; she said yes! We highly recommend him.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 26, 2007•From Wheaton, MD

Alan was very friendly and professional. He showed up earlier than expected to set up. We were very happy to have Alan played at our event. He was able to accomodate all our needs even though we contacted him in such short notice.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on March 27, 2007•From Washington, DC

Alan was superb. We spoke several times before the event to plan exactly what I wanted. He arrived early and was set up in plenty of time to surprise my wife. He played beautifully and took all of our requests. He has a wide repertoire from classical to pop to jazz. He was perfect for our intimate evening.

Alan was great to work with throughout the wedding ceremony - He came early and played suggested selections for us to pick before the wedding and was very accomodating. We would highly recommend to any and hope to use him again in the future. Joe Roberts -- event wedding at The Belmont Mansion 9/30/06.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 17, 2006•From Laurel, MD

My only comment would be when the bridesmaids processed in, there was a lull in the music when there were still several bridesmaids left to complete their walk and you could hear some noise among the musicians. It could have been due to the fact that the 2 pastors, groom, best man and groomsmen also walked down the aisle and I don't know if Mr. Oresky was told they would be doing that. In a way, it may the bride's entrance that much more dramatic which was neat. Other than that, everything else was beautiful and we would hire him again. TKS for making our special day that much more special. Sincerely, Jeanette McGowan P.S. My husband may send a response when he returns from a business trip.

Our wedding and cocktail reception would not have been the same without Alan and his superb fiddling! He was an important part of the celebration, and even wore a shirt that had a colonial look to it, to match the venue and our event, which involved kilts and bagpipes and festive yet relaxed merrymaking in the outdoor courtyard at historic Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant in Old Town, Alexandria. At one point, one of our friends commented, "The fiddler is so good - I wonder whether he could do Charlie Daniels' 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'?" I asked Alan, and he pulled it off as easy as pie! It was great! I would highly recommend Alan to anyone looking for a talented, friendly, professional musician to add something special and memorable to their event.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on January 1, 2006•From Alexandria, VA

1. Many of our guests went over to compliment Alan Oresky on his excellent performance. Our guests also told us how great the music was. 2. He exhibited tremendous versatility and technical ability. 3. Great musicianship and professionalism (on time, easy to work with, set up equipment quickly, responsive to requests). 4. They were able to accompany singers in the guest party on the spot. 5. All in all without Oresky's music our celebration could have hit a sour note. 6. We would readily recommend Alan Oresky for an important event.

Mr. Alan Oresky was hired by my organization to perform classical violin music at a reception. He was very professional and was well prepared. He arrived early to conduct a sound check and stayed until all guests had left. Many people commented on his playing abilities. I would strongly recommend Mr. Oresky's services to other groups looking for someone to play the violin.
