Slava was absolutely amazing. He was extremely easy to get in contact with and made the entire process easy and comfortable. Slava was the Violinist for our Wedding Ceremony and he made the day so beautiful! He knew the songs we requested, our guests had nothing but amazing things to say. Thank you Slava!

We had a lot of our event attendees comment on how good the music was and how well he played. The music was clear and recognizable. Many songs were contemporary.

Slava was such an important part of my daughter's wedding ceremony. He worked with her to blend two sections of a song for her walk down the aisle. He also played for half an hour before the ceremony started, as guests were filing in. Many guests later told me, unsolicited, how beautiful the music was. Slava's selections reminded some of the music in "Bridgerton." Slava was accommodating and easy to work with. He also is very talented and completely professional. I highly recommend him.

Having Slava play at our ceremony was truly magical. He arrived early and played while guests waited for the ceremony to begin. He is a very talented musician and I highly recommend. I will definitely book Slava again.
Thank you Slava for making our ceremony one we will never forget.

We hired Slava to play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.
He played beautifully all of our requested songs. He was professional, timely, and exceeded our expectations in every way. He’s style of playing was romantic and emotional, and it really set the mood for our event. We could not recommend him more.

Slava played for my daughter when she was one yr old. Fast forward and we were able to find him again to play at her Quinceanera (15 yrs). He is so talented, he was able to play a very difficult piece that my daughter has loved for some time. I hope that he will be able to play for her wedding someday. Anybody would be so lucky to have him for their event.

Slava was great for our venue! He was able to move around the room for everyone to enjoy. I would recommend him for any venue looking for an elevated event as he played our event of 200 people and they all enjoyed the intimacy he provided. He would be an asset to your event.

Slava played beautifully all the songs requested. He was always very responsive prior to the wedding. My wedding ceremony couldn't have been any better thanks to Slava.

Slava Gelfand is very talented and professional. He showed up early to be sure he was in the right place. His beautiful music made the occasion special and he played far more than what we asked for. It takes a very dedicated artist to come to a rustic park for a tiny wedding and make it beautiful. Everyone loved it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any occasion.

I thought I was at a concert at Carnegie Hall. Everyone was extremely impressed and entertained. People loved him very much. I paid for another hour!!!!! Such a bargain!! He will be my default music for parties because he can play in background but has the talent to stop conversations in their tracks with his music!!! SOOOOOOOOOO happy with Slava Gelfand!!!!!!

Mr. Slava Gelfand is an excellent violinist and an overall superior performer. He worked with me before the performance to tailor it to be exactly what I wanted. He carried out that exact style and flavor to his music. He blends well into the background of the setting. Yet all guests were drawn to his beautiful music and his comments made before each piece was played. He was as one of the guests with tremendous talent. I will surely use him again.

Slava was awesome. He was punctual and communicative. With the stress of planning a wedding, you tend to get worried that everyone may cancel on you. He was in communication with me at all times which gave me peace of mind. His price is very reasonable and he is highly skilled with the violin. I would definitely hire Slava again in a heart beat.
