What Does a Violinist Actually Do at a Wedding?

You’ve seen the elegant Instagram reels, the sweeping ceremony entrances, and the romantic dinner serenades, but what exactly does a wedding violinist do? And how can live violin music be part of your day?

As a professional wedding violinist, I’m here to take you behind the scenes and show you just how magical (and versatile!) having live music can be, from start to finish.

Whether you're planning a chic countryside celebration, a glamorous stately home soirée, or a destination wedding under the stars, here's what you can expect when you book me to perform.

🎻 Before the Wedding: Planning Your Perfect Soundtrack

Long before your wedding day arrives, we’ll work closely together to design a bespoke soundtrack that reflects your love story. I’ll guide you through:

• Choosing the perfect songs for each part of the day

• Helping you blend classical elegance with modern favourites

• Suggesting meaningful or unexpected pieces to surprise your guests

• Offering advice tailored to your venue and schedule

If you choose one of my packages, we can even include bespoke arrangements, where I personally create a violin version of your song if it's not already in my repertoire.

🎶 On the Day: Setting the Tone from the First Note

Once I arrive at your venue, I handle everything: setup, amplification, and timings, so you can focus on enjoying your day.

Here's how my live music fits into your timeline:

🎀 The Ceremony

– Elegant background music as guests arrive

– A personalised entrance piece for your aisle walk

– Gentle music during the signing of the register

– A joyful recessional to end on a high

It’s emotional, unforgettable, and totally tailored to you.

🥂 Arrival Drinks & Reception

While you're off having photos taken and mingling, I perform a sophisticated set to keep the atmosphere flowing and the guests entertained.

Expect a mix of timeless classics, love songs, or modern favourites, with either acoustic or electric violin, depending on your vibe.

🍽️ Wedding Breakfast

Live violin during your meal adds elegance without overpowering conversation. Think Bridgerton-style instrumentals or cinematic love themes floating gently through the air.

💃 Evening Entertainment

For couples wanting something bold and exciting, I switch to electric violin, performing with backing tracks or collaborating with your DJ. This high-energy, showstopping set creates an incredible party atmosphere.

✨ More Than Just Music

What makes booking me different?

• I offer a stress-free service—you’ll always know what’s happening and when

• Every performance is tailored to you, your style, your love story

• I deliver both emotional moments and high-end entertainment, seamlessly

This isn’t just background music—it’s the heartbeat of your day.
