Very talented and professional!

I was extremely satisfied with my experience working with Gloria. Working with so many wedding vendors at once can get so overwhelming, but she is one vendor that made my wedding planning easier. She is very responsive, clear, professional, and accommodating. She learnt a new song that I wanted played for my husband (Frozen Pines by Lord Huron) on a very short notice. She plays beautifully and I recall how captivating her performance was for my guests. Everyone loved her. I could not recommend her enough. Thank you Gloria for being a part of my wedding, and playing so beautifully. I will always look back fondly on those moments.

Exceptional Violinist and Seamless Coordination!

I had the pleasure of working with Gloria to set up the music for our wedding. Although Gloria wasn't available for our event, she sent one of her associates, who was incredibly talented. The music added a beautiful touch to our special day.

Organizing everything and communicating with Gloria was so easy, and she was able to accommodate all of our requests without any hassle. I highly recommend Gloria and her associates – they are not only exceptionally talented but also offer great value. Our experience was wonderful, and we couldn't be happier with the music on our wedding day!

The perfect blend of elegance, excellence and excitement!

Gloria is a true talent.

When I came across her work on social;
I knew that I wanted her to be part of our wedding! She is the perfect blend of elegance, excellence and excitement. Extremely detailed oriented, communicative at all times and fun to work with were just some of the attributes that made our collaboration memorable. Gloria is organized, has a thoughtful approach in helping create meaning and impact thru her work and she is very gifted. Her music set the tone for our wedding ceremony and even a few weeks prior to the wedding, when I had a last minute idea - she was able to include a special song request that made everyone smile. I would and will be recommending Gloria Yip to my network and hope that you consider her as well for your next event.

Musical Perfection from Start to Finish!

We were truly blessed to have Gloria play the violin at our wedding. Her broad musical repertoire spans classical, pop, Disney, movie tunes and beyond. With the solo violinist package, she arranged and learned a new song for us as part of the performance. We chose song that both of our families loved, as a symbol of the union of our families, making the ceremony extra meaningful and touching.

Gloria’s organizational skills are top-notch. She has a handy form to help sort out song choices for different parts of the ceremony, making the process straightforward and fun. Her suggestions for the prelude were spot-on and set a beautiful tone as our guests arrived.

Her performance was nothing short of magical. The Ontario Science Centre felt like Roy Thomson Hall with her on the strings. Her transitions were smooth, and her playing was impeccable, adding a touch of elegance to our geeky celebration. Many guests came up to us to compliment her exquisite playing.

Working with Gloria was a breeze from start to finish. Her talent, coupled with her professionalism, made the musical aspect of our wedding utterly stress-free and delightful. We highly recommend Gloria to anyone looking to add a beautiful musical touch to their event. A huge thank you to Gloria for making our day melodically memorable!
