Elliot Lyte's Reviews

Elliot was a pleasure to work with! Clear communication, reliable, and delivered everything to a very high standard. The recordings sounded fantastic and fit perfectly into our silly little project.

Elliot is fantastic to work with - professional, approachable, and always delivers to a high standard. Our recent SXSW tour together was seamless, and I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients often tell me how much they love the atmosphere the violin creates - it brings a special, emotional feel that stays with them long after. They also appreciate how easy and relaxed everything feels, and how I tailor the music to reflect them as a couple. When the moment calls for it, I bring an energetic, expressive style to lift the atmosphere.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I’ve performed at a wide range of venues across the UK and internationally, including the Barbican, National Gallery and Westminster Abbey, as well as luxury private events and recent festivals such as SXSW. My work has taken me worldwide to destinations including Dubai, Monaco, Switzerland and the USA.

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, I can offer a range of line-up options, from solo violin through to duos or larger ensembles. I work with a network of high-quality, trusted musicians and can create a bespoke setup to suit your event. Additional musicians can be arranged depending on your preferences and budget.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Timings can naturally shift on the day, and that’s absolutely fine. As long as I’m kept in the loop, I’m always happy to be flexible and adapt to ensure everything runs smoothly. If any significant changes are expected in advance, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate!

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically arrive around 45 – 60 minutes before the performance start time to allow for setup and sound checks. This ensures everything is ready in advance so the music can begin smoothly and create the perfect atmosphere for you and your guests.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Of course! I am more than happy to discuss set lists and requests ahead of the event - just get in touch!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring all the equipment needed to perform, including both acoustic and electric violin, along with a professional Bose portable PA system. I can also have an assistant on hand to manage sound where needed. All I require on the day is access to a power source.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

We all have our favourite songs that mean the most to us. I’m always happy to learn specific pieces for your event, especially for key moments! I include a number of custom requests within my packages, and I’ll work with you in advance to ensure everything feels just right for your day.
