Excellent group to work with. Open and continued communication. Our violinist was able to work on the music we requested for our ceremony and did it wonderfully. Highly recommend to work with West Star Production for live music for your event or wedding.

We had a string trio for our ceremony and cocktail reception, along with a saxophonist for cocktail hour and our grand entrance, and they were AMAZING! I had a specific song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, and they went out of their way to make it happen for me. It was so special to hear it played live! They added such a beautiful touch to our wedding day, and we couldn’t recommend them enough!

Michaela - I HAVE to write and tell you how awesome it was to have you play at Brooke and Andrew's wedding Saturday night! From the time Brooke was two years old, I would come home...
from the grind of working, put in our Tom Petty CD and dance with the kids to Runnin' Down A Dream. It is one of my favorite memories and definitely, a family favorite. I will never, ever forget your version of that song to open the dancing Saturday night - wow! WOW!!!
Thank you so much for the energy you brought to the dance floor and making a super special night even more so. Most days, we are runnin' down the dream, but Saturday, we caught the dream and you were a huge part of making that dream a reality! Thank you again for every song you played.

ream’ to kick off the dance floor - little did I know it held so much sentimental value for you and your daughters! I vividly remember you dancing to it too! Thank you for sharing this here, it means so much to me. Performing for your daughter’s wedding was a more than a true pleasure, it was joy filled, uplifting, and has me feel so validated in what I get to provide for couples and their families. Thank you.

I hired Michaela from West Star Productions to play the electric violin for our wedding ceremony in May 2026 as a complete surprise for my husband. Michaela responded to my initial...
inquiry quickly, and her booking process was extremely easy. She was a pleasure to work with and was super accommodating as we narrowed down the playlist. On the wedding day, she performed beautifully and my husband was beyond excited to see her playing live - which he only noticed as he walked down the aisle! He still thinks it was one of the coolest moments of our wedding day. Highly recommend hiring Michaela for your wedding or large event where you want a touch of something special with live music.

We hired Michaela to play at our intimate mid-October wedding in Colorado. She was the perfect addition to a wonderful night for us. She provided live classical and jazz standards ...
as guests arrived and during our ceremony and cocktail hour. We also had her play our first dance song, an extra request we made that she fulfilled perfectly and even provided a sample video prior to our wedding.
We would highly recommend booking Michaela for your wedding. She was super responsive in our planning conversations and made her expectations clear to allow for a seamless experience on our wedding day.
Thank you Michaela!!
Response from West Star Productions
Thank you so much for your beautiful words Olivia! It was an absolute honor to be part of ...
your intimate Colorado wedding. I loved helping create the atmosphere you and Grant envisioned, from the classical and jazz pieces to your special first dance song - which I especially enjoyed seeing you two dance in front of your friends and family at recessional! Your communication and kindness made the planning process effortless, and I’m so glad everything came together seamlessly on your day.
Wishing you both a lifetime of joy, love, and music. Thank you again for having me! 🎶💛

WOW. Michaela absolutely made our wedding night dance party the most fun it could possibly be. Not only is she extremely skilled and talented, and a gorgeous violin player, but she...
brought so much energy to the party - everyone couldn't get enough of her! She was in the middle of the dance floor getting everyone dancing and vibing with her. She worked amazingly well with our DJ Tasos, and killed every song she played. She was energetic, fun, gorgeous, happy and completely upleveled the dance party. Almost every guest (~200) was on the floor all night. She also played during our ceremony and it brought me to tears. She was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. She listened to our interests and was always responsive and gave us her full attention on our meetings. She worked great with our DJ which made them flow so perfectly. Michaela is amazing and i recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a violinist at their wedding or any party!
