  • Amazing performance by Virginia James Music!

    •Donna M.•Dec 14

    Alicia and Chris did such an amazing job at my wedding ceremony this past August! They are so easy to work with, and are very responsive, kind, professional and talented! Their prices are reasonable, and the planning process was so seamless. I greatly appreciated their enthusiasm and interest in the planning elements of my wedding and music preferences. They also kindly provided their recommendations and playlist of music. They even offered to learn any special songs we wanted to have played. I highly recommend them for your event. Truly one of the highlights of our special day with their beautiful performance!

    Alicia and Chris (of Virginia James music) were truly incredible. They made our special day so magical with the music they sang and played. All of our guests separately commented on how amazing they were. They did such a great rendition of our wedding song as well which they learned just for us! They both complement each other so well musically. Aside from the music, they were also a complete pleasure to work with, professional from the get go and made planning such a breeze. We are definitely going to use them again if we ever have another need for live music in the future.
