Samantha is a very professional violinist. A very talented girl who was able to accommodate all my requested songs such as A Thousand Years, All Of Me, Wrecking Ball and other new pop songs. She answered all my messages quickly and dealing with her was flawless. I will definitely again on my next event!

Samantha promptly responded all my questions regarding the event and helped me planning the proposal moment, which happened in my hotel rooftop. During the proposal, Samantha played beautifully and arrived before the time I scheduled. She is very tallented, professional, her fees were absolutely reasonable and I highly recommend her work.
Thank you for everything Samantha

Samantha was outstanding! We are so glad she was available to perform at our wedding ceremony. Her communications were very quick and professional. She helped us make song choices since we weren't sure exactly what we wanted played (other than the bride’s entrance song). On the day of, she arrived early and began playing while guests were being seated. Her timing when switching between songs was spot on, and most of all, her performance was great!
Samantha – Thank you again very much!

Samantha worked with me over email for several months to pick the right songs, which I didn't finally decide on until the week before the wedding! With little time to practice, she was a stellar performer and total professional. She showed up early, handled her own setup, and played beautifully. She handled all her cues flawlessly, and we did not rehearsal or anything like that. She was the only musician I hired for our Catholic ceremony and it didn't seem that we were missing anything. I highly recommend Samantha!

Samantha is a wonderful performer! She was prepared and had a lovely costume and is a lovely young woman. She helped the event flow seemlessly by working with the other performers and the crowd loved her! I highly recommend this performer.

I had hired Samantha for a surprise proposal dinner for my girlfriend at the time and she was absolutely amazing. She was very sweet and very talented. I didn't have that many special requests for Samantha but i did have one which she nailed. What made me even more happy was that from all the other great reviews i had read about Samantha and her talent, what made me even more surprised was her prices. I was shocked when she sent me quote and booked right away. If i have one negative thing to say is that i have requested Samantha to arrive at the restaurant a few minutes early just in case we were ahead of schedule but unfortunately she came late.

My husband & I were so blessed by Samantha's performance at our wedding ceremony. She was so talented and professional and to boot she was incredibly accommodating, sweet, and helpful. She helped us in making our music selection and offered to learn a song if we chose one with which she wasn't as familiar. Her music was a seminal piece to our ceremony and it graced our day perfectly. 5 stars for a lovely girl!

Samantha was extremely pleasant to work with from the very beginning planning phase to the actual performance. She played everything we wanted and more! I/we would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a true musician who's not only fantastic at what she does, but also has a knack for making a grown man shed a tear with her beautiful playing.

You won't be disappointed with Ms Gillogly. She is pleasant, prompt and talented. She performed as a soloist at our wedding dinner and made a point to include songs we had put on our wish list. We even gave her cd of Celtic tunes as our wedding favors and our guests were delighted.
