Review by Kathryn S.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 29, 2019•From Brigantine, NJ

Slava is an excellent violin player and made our wedding ceremony so memorable! We had a beach wedding & Slava played on the beach as our guests arrived to the wedding! We had so many guests tell us that it was such a nice scene to walk onto the beach and to hear an amazing violin player! We are so thankful Slava was available to play at our wedding!!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Slava was professional, very kind, patient, and sooooo TALENTED. He has been playing violin professionally for many years and it really shows in his performance. I hired him to perform for my mother in her home (she broke her ankle and I wanted to surprise her with something special). Slava took extra time to answer all of her questions and shared the history of each song upon her request. His range of knowledge from classical to popular music was astounding. He played so beautifully it brought tears to her eyes. I highly recommend Slava to anyone for any type of performance. 5 stars! We will hire him again for future events.

Slava was excellent and it was a great joy to have him perform for my mom. Slava's talent for violin is immense and orchestra quality, like a solo violinist with a world class orchestra. I recommend him for any event that calls for exquisite classical violin playing. Slava was also kind, courteous and accommodating regarding the exact time he would play, giving us an option. Slava was friendly and we hope to refer him to our friends. Thanks Slava!

Slava helped me with a surprise proposal event. Even though I hired him in the last minute, he was able to learn playing the song I wanted to propose with. He sent a sample so that we were able to find the key that I can sing. He arrived to the location on time and did a great job with the surprise, and playing the song. I highly recommend him

Because of the timing and being the mother of the bride I never spoke to him the day of ceremony. He was perfect. It added to the perfect outdoor ceremony.

Wedding•Reviewed on December 4, 2016•From Milford, DE

Slava played the violin during my wedding ceremony on October 15. He did such an amazing job! He was very responsive and easy to work with. He provided music to the organist and pianist and arrived early to rehearse with them! I was extremely impressed and would highly recommend him! It was absolutely perfect thanks to Slava's expertise!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 3, 2016•From Chester Springs, PA

Slava was amazing! He arrived at the church for our wedding ceremony on time and accommodated our numerous special requests. Specifically, he learned how to play two songs before our ceremony on Oct. 1, 2016, and even put together an additional arrangement to accompany his violin as we recessed out of church - all for no additional charge. In this day and age, it seems like most vendors gauge their prices as soon as they hear they are being hired for a wedding. Slava is the exception to this rule. We couldn't be happier.

This was the second family wedding that we hired Slava Gelfand. Obviously we were impressed with him enough to hire him again. He is very talented and professional. His range of music styles is amazing. Very accommodating. We hope to hire him again

Great performance! Slava was playing various music including classical pieces, rock and popular songs with pre-recorded accompaniment on his lap top which sounded through amplification system. He played even pieces by ABBA, T.Cutugno, E.Ramazzotti, etc. We had a wonderful evening and we hope to see and listen to Slava again!

I wish I could review him on his skill but he did not make it in time to play at my wedding he got stuck in traffic which was a parade. He should look ahead for his travels next event. Of course I will be getting my money back!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 5, 2014•From Washington, DC

Slava was great; he is very professional, timely, and as independent as you can ask for. We didn't have a long list of songs we wanted over the two hour period, but he provided his repertoire and guidance to help finish out the timing. He is very reasonably priced. Slava showed up on time and was in autopilot at the ceremony and cocktail hour at the reception and he performed perfectly.

Slavs did a wonderful job! It was a pleasure to have him at our wedding ceremony!!!

Review by Katherine E.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 20, 2014•From Livingston, NJ

As the bride I was worried about everything, including maybe hiring someone I did not meet prior to the event. Slava was very nice, courteous and assured us he'd be there and on time. He did exactly that! He drove a far distance in unpredictable weather and on time. He was there during our practice run through along with playing for guests as they found their seat and through the ceremony. Everyone raved about our Game of Thrones violin entrance song. Slava was the least of my worries. Very realiable, a talent, and a bargin. Unfortunately I did not get to meet him personally but my husband told me he was very nice.
