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.

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!
