“Christie is incredibly talented! She was very communicative before our event, punctual the day of, and played our song requests beautifully. Her music is so special, our guests loved her! Highly recommend hiring Christie to play if you want to take your event up a notch!”

“Christie did an excellent job at my wedding! I’m so happy I hired her. Her skill on the violin made my wedding so much more romantic and amazing. If you’re considering adding any type of music, Christie kills it on the violin and has a god given talent. She was able to play every single song I wanted and did it exceptionally”

“Christie was an absolute joy to work with! She had wonderful communication leading up to our wedding with providing her suggested song lists and even asking what color dress we would like her to wear to coordinate with our wedding was above and beyond what we expected. Her music was beautiful and she easily and quickly pivoted when we got a little rain during our cocktail hour and we had to move locations. I could not recommend her enough for your special day!”

“Christie did such a wonderful job at our reception. All the guests at our wedding still won’t stop talking about how much fun they had at cocktail hour where she played for an hour straight. Everyone had such a great time listening to her play! She’s the most sweetest soul ever!!! 10/10 recommend her playing on your big day!”

“I hired Christie for my wedding and she was amazing. She sent me recommendations on the music for ceremony and cocktail hour and then also helped me pick specific songs for when I walked down the aisle, for the bridesmaids walk, etc. She played ‘Video Games’ by Lana Del Rey for me walking down the aisle and it was incredible. Received a lot of feedback on how fun the cocktail hour music was. Would highly recommend!!”

“We loved having Christie as part of our wedding day! The booking process was so simple and she provided great song recommendations when I had questions. She played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and did a fantastic job. You should definitely book her for your big day!”

“Christie was the first vendor we hired, I knew I wanted a violinist for our ceremony and cocktail hour and she was one of the few I could find in Charleston that wouldn’t just play jazz music for cocktail hour. I hired her 1.5 yr before the wedding and just saw her blowing up and in so many events and weddings. I knew we made the right choice. Come the day of our wedding, I remember hearing the songs we picked in the background and it was everything to us. We had her learn 8 songs for us, and it was everything my Bridgerton heart could want.”

“Christie played for my wedding in May and was outstanding. She was flexible with time change, genre options and select songs we wanted to walk down the aisle to. Communication was easy and got back to us fast. She truly made our day feel special. I would 100% recommend her for your wedding/ event.”

“I stumbled upon Christie page with only three weeks until my wedding, and she turned out to be everything I dreamt of for our intimate ceremony. She was incredibly responsive and understood our last-minute needs. Christie's flexibility and willingness to work on short notice made the planning process much smoother. Although the timing was tight, she managed to deliver beautiful music that added a special touch to our day.”

“Our theme was Lavender Haze for our vow renewal and she captured the vibe beautifully! Professional, kind, talented, and just so lovely. She’s the whole package and we highly recommend!”

“We were blown away by Christie’s performance at our wedding. Her music added a magical touch to our day, leaving everyone in awe. She was not only incredibly talented but also easy to work with. Highly recommend for any special event!”

“Christie was so great to work with on our wedding day! From arriving on time, to being able to adjust to changes I made to the schedule last minute, to creating absolutely beautiful music for our ceremony, she was great! Even before the big day, she was super easy to work with, very helpful in picking songs, and was always quick to respond to any question I had! I cannot recommend enough!”

“Christie played love songs on the violin during my proposal, and she was amazing! She was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and was willing to learn new songs to personalize our experience.”

“Christie Bates exceeded my expectations on my wedding day! Not only did she perform a custom song for me to walk down the isle, but she provided tons of recommendations for this indecisive bride! Highly highly recommend her as your violinist to make your wedding day that much more special!”

“Wow!! I can’t say enough about how amazing Christie sounded during our ceremony. She did such a wonderful job playing the songs, transitioning between songs, and working with our officiant/planner to coordinate the music. We got so many compliments on her and we would recommend her to anyone!”

“We had Christie perform at our cocktail hour before the reception. She was so easy to work with from the beginning to end. Christie was extremely professional and kept checking in before the wedding. We had requested her to play a few specific songs and her ability to make more modern pop songs sound so elegant on the violin was so impressive. Our guests absolutely loved her and she definitely made the start to our reception a memorable one. I would highly recommend Christie!!”

“We had an excellent experience with Christie! She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to all of our emails. She did a great job during the prelude and ceremony. Her music helped make our day even more special!”

“Christie was AMAZING!! She was punctual and professional. She is very gifted at what she does. Everyone was pleasantly surprised to hear her playing contemporary, R&B and hip hop songs at the wedding. Christie not only had a song selection, but also played a wide variety of songs we picked out. She truly made our day special. We had a small, intimate ceremony with a cocktail hour and candlelit dinner to follow. We opted to not have a DJ, as we wanted a romantic and elegant feel.”
