Every Performance Is Unique: Creating the Perfect Soundtrack for Your Event


Every performance is a special opportunity to bring music to life and enhance your event with a truly personal touch. As a solo violinist, I take great care to ensure that each performance is tailored to your vision, making your celebration memorable and meaningful.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating a seamless and unforgettable musical experience for you.



Preparing for the Performance

The journey to a perfect performance begins well before the event day. Here’s how I prepare:


  • Confirming Event Details

    • I work closely with you to finalize your event date, location, and performance timings to ensure everything is perfectly aligned.

  • Planning the Route

    • I carefully check the venue address and plan my travel to arrive punctually and stress-free.

  • Curating Your Setlist

    • Together, we’ll craft a personalized setlist that reflects your style and the mood you want to create.

  • Creating Bespoke Arrangements

    • If you have a special request that requires a unique arrangement, I’m happy to provide it for an additional fee of £60 per piece.

  • Rehearsing for Perfection

    • I dedicate time to rehearse each piece thoroughly, ensuring that every note resonates beautifully during your event.



The Day of the Performance


On the day of your event, I aim to create a smooth and stress-free experience by arriving approximately 45 minutes early. Here’s what I do to prepare:


  • Familiarizing Myself with the Venue

    • I take time to explore the venue and understand the acoustics to optimize the sound quality of my performance.

  • Coordinating with Venue Staff

    • I work with the staff to confirm the setup location and address any logistical details.

  • Conducting a Sound Check

    • A quick sound check ensures that the music sounds beautiful in your chosen setting.

  • Warming Up

    • I warm up my instrument to ensure it is perfectly tuned and ready to deliver its best sound.

  • Capturing the Moment

    • When time permits, I take a few photos to document the day and share the joy of the occasion on my socials.

  • Staying Hydrated

    • A glass of water helps keep me refreshed and focused throughout the performance.



Sharing the Experience

Every event is a new opportunity to connect through music and create cherished memories. I love sharing glimpses of these moments on my social platforms, where you can follow along for updates and inspiration: @lauraseymourviolin.



Final Thoughts

From meticulous planning to the final note of your event, I’m dedicated to providing a seamless and unforgettable musical experience. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, a corporate event, or a private gathering, I’m here to ensure the music is as unique and special as the occasion itself.

Let’s create something extraordinary together!


Warm wishes,
