About Amanda

Amanda is a skilled, musical, versatile and friendly professional who plays a beautiful sounding Italian violin with quality backing tracks
Violinist
Canterbury
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Living and predominantly working in Kent, I trained at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music with renowned international soloist Erich Gruenberg and have many years of experience of playing for all forms of performances including orchestral, solo, chamber, session recordings and musical theatre. I am very experienced at playing for weddings no matter how big or small either for the ceremony or reception or both. You can relax if you book me knowing your music is in the reliable hands of someone who won’t let you down, either in creating a wonderful atmosphere or by my attention to detail I’m very friendly and happy to help and discuss with you your ideas for the music and the type of atmosphere you want to create. Whilst I am classically trained and love performing classical music, I particularly enjoy crossover playing covers of film themes, Bridgerton style pop, rock,musicals, folk and jazz songs too and have an extensive repertoire which I am always happy to add to. I am happy to travel to further afield than Kent and I really enjoy my job, playing diverse music for all sorts of people. If you book me you will not be disappointed with either my playing, my reliability or my professionalism. Recent comments have included ‘classy addition to the day’ ‘amazing’ and my personal favourite ’ I never knew the violin could sound so beautiful’ :)

Amanda played at our wedding ceremony and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her. The music was beautiful, especially the bespoke entrance song she kindly played for us. Communication in the lead up was really good and the day went so smoothly. Thank you Amanda!

We had the pleasure of having Amanda play at our wedding in Sandwich last month. Amanda is so talented, nothing was too much trouble and being an all round lovely person helped settle the nerves. Why are you still reading…. Book her now! You won’t regret it 🫶🏼💕

Aboslutely amazing! We had the absolute pleasure of having Amanda play the violin at our wedding, and she was truly incredible. From the start, Amanda was so friendly and professional, with great communication in the lead-up to the day. She made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Walking down the aisle to "A Thousand Years" was such a special moment, and Amanda played it beautifully. For our exit, she performed “Just Give Me a Reason” — it was the perfect touch to end our ceremony on a high. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the music was. Amanda helped make our day unforgettable, and we can’t thank her enough. We would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a talented and reliable violinist for their big day!
