Violin & Ukelele are absolutely amazing! They did a fantastic job playing some very out of the ordinary music for most people. If you want some anime or video game music for your wedding, definitely contact them!

Ilona & Jeff brought true magic to our outdoor wedding in Joshua Tree national park this spring. They mastered “wildflowers” and “here comes the sun” as requested and played 2 hours of joyful tunes that our guests absolutely loved during cocktail hour. The violin ukelele combo is truly unique and magical and our guests raves about the unique and playful ambiance it brought to that special moment. These tunes truly made our first married hours extra special. We went out on a limb slightly over our budget for this but have no regrets! Guest have reached out to tell me how much they loved that part of the wedding. They were a great team, smooth communication, and timely and professional. Highly recommended to add a special musical touch to any event.

AMAZING! Couldn’t have been happier to have worked with Jeff and Ilona for our wedding day! Very professional, timely and friendly they were such a pleasure to work with. Working with Jeff through the details of our ceremony playlist was super easy, they even provided a website where we could get inspiration for the right feel for our wedding. We just got our wedding video back and have so loved re-living the moments. Music, speaker quality, and transitions between songs were flawless! In short, having such beautiful, live music made our day feel beyond special! Thank you Jeff and Ilona for everything!

Ilona and Jeff most definitely exceeded the high expectations we set for our beach wedding!! They did an amazing job playing violin & ukulele music before, during and after our wedding ceremony. After that first hour, they added percussion for the coctail hour. My husband loves 90s alternative, and so do many of our guests. They were delighted and surprised to hear Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun and Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir alongside symphonies and Hawaiian standards. I highly recommend them. Their playlist is unbelievable!

My husband and I got married in Malibu on September 12, 2021. The violin and ukulele combination stood out to me when I was searching online because it felt like it had the beauty yet classic vibe that our wedding was going to be. Jeff and Ilona exceeded my expectations and were so wonderful to work with – which as a bride – a communicative and reliable vendor is extremely important! They were so responsive and flexible to our needs and their play list is extremely extensive – they can play just about anything from classics to today’s hits! My guests were so impressed with their performance and are still mentioning how beautiful and unique this duo was for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you to Jeff and Ilona I hope I am able to use you again in the future!

My husband and I couldn’t have been more happy with you two playing on our big day! You guys played beautifully and everyone loved you. Thank you again.

You guys were so easy to work with, and very professional! You sounded amazing for our outdoor ceremony. You responded to all of my emails promptly, you were very polite about it when my new wife wanted to change all of the ceremony songs a few days before, and you arrived for the ceremony in plenty of time to set up and get situated. I only wish we could’ve spent more time listening to you! It’s so awesome to hear Coldplay and Queen performed by such amazing classically trained musicians. I’ve already recommended you guys to a few people at our wedding that were asking about where we found you. Thanks again!

This group is the greatest!! We had guests complimenting them all evening. I didn’t think we’d find such talented and flexible musicians that could play such beautiful music for our ceremony but then switch to pop tunes for our cocktails! Our guests loved hearing Bruno Mars and Bob Marley during our cocktail hour. I’m so glad my wife decided to go with these amazing musicians instead of just a boring string quartet or guitar player! This group really raises the bar for unbelievable music for your wedding ceremony or cocktails. I’ve recommend them to lots of people already . . . they’re highly professional people that will make your wedding sound great.

Finding the words to describe this couple and the magic they produce is hard. From the moment we made contact to the very last e-mail we exchanged they were absolutely our best wedding vendor. So many requests went in on our part, but there wasn’t anything they weren’t flexible on. They completely created versions of songs that weren’t done before and every time I hear them I get teary eyed because of their soulfulness. Our wedding took place on the sand at the beach with many restrictions, but again they went above and beyond to make the ceremony absolutely beautiful. Honestly, they were the highlight of the ceremony!! I have been constantly telling people about this duo and how our wedding would not have been the same if it weren’t for the sheer heart-felt music they produce. In the future, for any event, I will refer to them and I will recommend them to everyone I can. If the most important part of the whole wedding day for you (as it was for me) is that moment when you first see your husband to be at the end of that aisle, this is the couple that gives you more than you thought you could feel when you first set your eyes on him. Thank You, Ilona and Jeff for being the absolute most amazing musicians we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. You two truly made our wedding day magical.
