We had the absolute pleasure of having Fran play at our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful performance. Fran set the perfect tone for our ceremony, it was truly magical. Fran was not only incredibly talented but also professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. She took the time to understand our vision and performed everything we wanted and more. It made the entire experience feel so personal and memorable. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to say how amazing she was. It added such a unique and timeless touch to our day. If you're considering live music for your wedding or event, do yourself a favor and book Fran! You will not regret it!!

From the moment I booked with Fran and we shared our first initial conversations about her playing violin before, during, and after my wedding ceremony I knew that I felt completely at ease. And not only that, but she took the time to do a venue visit with me, so that we could test the acoustics for inside and outside. She understood the ambience that I wanted to create for my wedding and made lots of helpful suggestions. I really enjoyed building a track list together. On the day of my wedding, beautiful music filled the venue to welcome guests and I walked down the aisle to a classical piece we had chosen together. Post-ceremony Fran used backing tracks alongside the violin with a mix of pop, indie, soul and RnB tracks. It serenaded the celebrations beautifully with lots of guests singing a long to songs they knew. It was genius! If you’re looking for unique live music for your event, then I would definitely recommend that you book Fran.

Customer questions

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

I typically keep the day or your booking free to allow for last minute changes. If anything changes, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate you!

How much time do you need to set up?

Only about half an hour, although I will typically arrive 1 to 1.5 hours early just to be safe.

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

Absolutely, just let me know what you’d like me to play in advance and I can make a personalised set list!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! I have a portable PA system which allows me to amplify my violin and a backing track - no power source required!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Absolutely! I usually ask my clients to send me their song requests or even a full playlist of songs which I can prepare for your event.
