Cheryl Zylla, violin and manager

Client Feedback:

"Cheryl Zylla is the violin behind "A Beautiful
Violin."
I hired her plus a cello to provide the
ceremony music for my wedding at the Minnesota
History Center. I had heard the same combo play at
a friends wedding at their cabin in rural Minnesota
earlier in the year. She travels the state, but is
based in the Twin Cities. They did a wonderful job!
They arrive and are playing music 30 minutes prior
to the ceremony. You will get a total of 90 minutes
of music in the basic package, with the option of
adding time for additional cost. We selected the
ceremony songs, which included classical
selections and the Beatles "Here Comes the Sun"
for our recessional. Cheryl is willing to learn any
song you request. She was easy to work with,
professional, and added a classy touch to our
ceremony and transition down to dinner. I would
recommend her unconditionally.

Cheryl was such a pleasure to work with
and the music was absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for everything!

-Sarah S, Chaska, MN Wedding

``````````````````````````````````````````````````
Cheryl was exceptional! She is not only a wonderful
violinist, she is a wonderful person. Her music was
the perfect touch to the wedding and we could not
have asked for more. She was professional in
every sense of the word. She confirmed the time
and schedule and choice of music with us well in
advance. She met with the minister and
coordinated her performance for the ceremony.
She offered assistance beyond her music if it was
needed. She was truly an asset to the day and I
highly recommend her to anyone.

-Linda D, Wedding Ceremony, Minneapolis, MN


``````````````````````````````````````````````````
Our experience with Cheryl was
exceptional. From the first contact made,
Cheryl gave our wedding personal,
individual attention, getting to know my
husband and I and our personal
interests to make our music selection
special. She was very flexible, as our
ceremony location was moved due to
weather, and was prepared for
unexpected weather as well. She was
very professional, and also used her
experience to guide us in making
decisions. Finally, she is a beautiful
musician and violinist. My husband and I
are very happy with the music she
played, and guests are still
complementing her.

-April Z, Wedding Ceremony, Two
Harbors, MN
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
Our violinist (Cheryl Zylla) was not only professional
but played the most beautiful solo music for our
wedding and reception. We suggest everyone
reading this HURRY UP and book her while she still
has openings. She even stayed for dinner and fun
at our reception. We had many guests ask me
where we found her. Now she is like a friend. We
got along so well. We would like everyone to know
not only can she play every and any song you
throw at her, but plays it with style and class! She
was the cherry on top of a wonderful wedding. A+
Thanks Cheryl! All our Love, Maggie and Dan
Kersey

-Maggie M, Wedding Ceremony in Otsego, MN

``````````````````````````````````````````````````

Cheryl Zylla is a true professional and quite
talented. She played all of my requests. She
was on time and is very adaptable to your
needs. You can also hear her on youtube. I
would certainly recommend her to a friend.
