6 Ways to Include Live Violin Music Throughout Your Wedding Day

Live music has the power to elevate every moment of your wedding day, creating atmosphere, emotion, and lasting memories. As a professional violinist specialising in luxury weddings across the South West and beyond, I often get asked, “Where should we include live music?” The answer? There are so many beautiful opportunities!

Whether you want an elegant backdrop or something a little more unforgettable, here are six stunning ways to weave violin music into your celebration.

🎻 1. The Ceremony

This is the heart of your day, and music makes it even more magical. From the first note guests hear as they arrive, to the moment you walk down the aisle, live violin creates a deeply romantic and timeless atmosphere.

What I Offer:

• A bespoke prelude set while guests take their seats:

• A breathtaking aisle walk moment

• Gentle background music during the signing of the register

• A joyful, uplifting piece as you walk back up the aisle as newlyweds

This is where tears often start and memories begin.

🥂 2. Arrival Drinks

Set the tone the moment your guests step into the celebration. A sophisticated live performance adds elegance and energy while your guests mingle, sip champagne, and enjoy the setting.

Why it works: 

It avoids any awkward silences, encourages conversation, and adds polish to the occasion.

🍽️ 3. The Wedding Breakfast

As guests enjoy their meal, live violin creates a refined, luxurious atmosphere. Think modern love songs, timeless classics, or your favourite film soundtracks, all performed softly in the background.

Top tip: It’s the perfect way to keep your guests entertained between speeches and courses.

💃 4. The First Dance

A bespoke violin performance of your song adds intimacy and emotion to your first dance. Whether performed solo or accompanied by backing tracks or a DJ, it’s a moment your guests will never forget, and neither will you.

This is one of my most popular add-ons, and I adore creating magical first dance memories for couples.

🌙 5. Evening Entertainment

Who says violin is only for the daytime?

My electric violin evening performances are vibrant, modern, and full of energy, perfect for making your party stand out. Whether solo with backing tracks or live improvisation alongside your DJ, it’s a showstopping experience.

Electric Violin + DJ Collaboration is my most in-demand evening package!
