Hello and thank you for considering me as a violinist for your event! I have loved providing solo violin music for weddings and events for the last three years. I have been playing violin since I was a child, I am trained to Grade 8 and completed a bachelors degree in Music from the University of Liverpool in 2016. I have performed in a wide variety of settings including the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall with an orchestra, and Liverpool International Music Festival accompanying singer-songwriters. Please read my reviews, watch my recorded videos and get in touch if you are interested in booking me for your special day.

The music couldn't have been better, Rebecca played exactly how we imagined the music to be played. If you're looking for a violinist look no further.

Rebecca performed at our wedding and was absolutely fantastic. She played every song we requested, including learning "Gangsta's Paradise" just for the groomsmen's entrance. Our guests couldn't stop raving about her. Thank you so much, Rebecca!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I usually play solo violin with piano backing tracks, but I can also play as a duo with an acoustic guitarist!

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

I can be flexible to help ensure your event runs smoothly. If timings change slightly in the run up to your event just let me know!

How much time do you need to set up?

Set up usually takes me just 20-30 minutes, but arrive between 45 mins - 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere!

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

Absolutely! You can find my repertoire list on my profile. The quote will also include up to 4 specially requested songs by you that are not on my list, and we can discuss more if you like.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring all equipment required for the day - for my violin and backing tracks to be heard indoor and outdoors! All that I require is a power outlet for my PA.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes! I will learn up to 4 specially requested songs by you that are not on my list, and we can discuss more if you like!
