Having recently moved back to Buffalo, Steve joined Violena Music and cannot wait to bring you and your guests smiles and memories at your event!

“I had the honor of having Lena and Steve play at my wedding (for the ceremony and cocktail hour) and they were absolutely amazing all around! So many of my guests came up to me and commented on how beautiful the music was and how much they enjoyed it. It really added a special and personal touch to the wedding. Not only was the music great, but Lena and Steve are the nicest people and were so accommodating and easy to work with. Lena was amazing with communication right from the start and made the process of music selection so simple and hassle free. She gives you the option to pick out any and all of your own music, but also offers professional guidance and song suggestions if you need it. Personally, I gave her an idea of the style and feel of music I wanted and let her and Steve come up with their own setlist - and they did an absolutely beautiful job! I’m so glad I had them and would 100% recommend them to anyone - trust me, you won’t regret it!” Elle N.
