Penny is truly delightful , talented and professional .. She played at our wedding at Comlongon Castle , it was at 6pm and in candlelight ,truly beautiful .. I entered dramatically to the Braveheart theme " the secret wedding " i will never forget , I felt like a princess her playing filled the castle ,the acoustics within the stone walls more amazing than I could of ever imagined . Penny continued to play our chosen pieces and some we just left to her to decide .. Wonderfull memory .. Thankyou penny Lesley and David Heyes (10 / 10) Lesley Heyes

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

My line up as Violinist in the Lakes is a solo violinist with a PA system.

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

I'm always flexible and keep in close touch with all my hosts prior to the event and during it.

How much time do you need to set up?

My set up time is around 15 minutes but I usually arrive around 45 minutes before I'm due to start playing.

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

I'm happy to play your choice of pieces. I have a large list of pieces covering all popular genres.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring everything I need, I'm totally self contained!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If you have a special song which isn't already on my list I'll usually be able to source and play it for you.
