SF Conservatory of Music - Music To Go!

We got a violinist from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. They have a program called Music to Go! in which current students perform for your occasion. Just because they are students does not mean they are mediocre. To get into SFCM, you have to be top notched. Since Fogarty had a single instrument musician requirement for a lawn ceremony, we chose a violinist. I only communicated with him through email and phone. On the wedding day, I didn't even meet him but only heard him play. It sounded great to me. He had a list of suggested songs. I chose 2 songs not on his repetoire but he still played it.

I think going through the Music to Go! program is very affordable. Their fee is $90 per musician, $30 booking fee, and travel fee depending on zone. Compare to other professional violinist, this is a great deal. For us, the ceremony needed some type of music but it wasn't the most important thing so we didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a short service.

Paid $140 for 1 hour

Our officiant broke up with his girlfriend, the harpist, so we had to look for a ceremony musician. Thanks, buddy! Anyway, we looked into getting an organist but I just didn't like how it sounded. We hired a pianist from the SF Music to Go program. Very easy and inexpensive. $150 for 1- 1/2 hours. ( 7.06)
Natsumi was our pianist and she's the sweetest girl. She was extremely patient in helping us select our ceremony music which we had no idea about. She played wonderfully and we gave her a generous tip. SF Music to Go is the way to go for an affordable yet quality music. ( 09.06)

We found Lindsey Huff through the conservatory. She was a pleasure to work with. We met with her at the site, she tried the piano and played several selections. Within an hour, we had all the pieces picked out. She’s very sweet and easy to work with.

I was a little worried about them since communication wasn't so great,but they turned out to be great. The music at the ceremony was perfect. Well coordinated and played.

We hired a trio through Music To Go! and loved them! Our contact was very easy to work with and was available to answer any questions we had.

They sounded great on the day of the wedding and were able to play all of the songs we requested. They're super cheap too!
