"Absolutely fabulous! Gaynor played at my 80th birthday party, in our own home. She arrived giving herself plenty of time to prepare herself, was extremely professional and our guests were delighted. Everyone commented on her choice of music (I left her to decide) and how beautifully she played a variety to suit all. I would recommend Gaynor for anyone's event as she is very versatile and has a lovely personality. I was very fortunate to discover her. "

"The Perfect Touch for Our Wedding! Hiring Jordan to play the violin at our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From the moment he started playing, he created this incredible atmosphere that was both elegant and so much fun. Our guests absolutely loved him, and honestly, we haven't stopped getting compliments about his performance since. What truly blew us away was his willingness to go the extra mile. We were amazed that he learned a bunch of popular hip-hop songs for us, and he even learned two more with almost no notice. We also realized we didn't pick quite enough songs for the entire event, and Jordan just effortlessly improvised, adding in a few more songs that perfectly fit the vibe we were going for. That personal touch made the music feel so unique to us and our day, and seeing everyone's faces light up when they recognized a song was just priceless. Working with Jordan was an absolute dream. His communication was flawless from start to finish—he was so responsive, professional, and just a genuine pleasure to deal with. Our wedding planner, who works with countless vendors, even mentioned how impressed she was with him, not just as a musician but as a vendor who was easy to work with. His professionalism and flexibility took all the stress out of that part of the planning. If you're looking for a cool, super talented, and reliable violinist to make your event even more special, you have to book Jordan. He's more than just a musician; he's a true professional who will make your day unforgettable"

FAQs about hiring Violinists in Blackpool
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Are violins popular for weddings?
Yes, absolutely, particularly for smaller, more intimate weddings, one violinist can be enough. A solo violinist can create a beautiful, elegant atmosphere that is loud enough to be heard by everyone without drowning out conversation. However, for larger weddings, you might want to opt for a string quartet or a string duo instead for a fuller sound. If unsure, chat with one of our experts today who talk through your budget, venue and tastes to work out what would work best for you.
Is one violin enough for a wedding?
Yes, violinists are very popular for weddings. Traditional, acoustic violinists are great for wedding ceremonies, evening meals and wedding breakfasts, whereas electric violinists are popular for drinks receptions as they have a louder sound.
Which songs sound best on the violin?
The violin is often associated with classical music, but it's a versatile instrument that can work well with many genres. If you're a fan of classical music, you might enjoy listening to Pachelbel's Canon in D, Beethoven's "Spring" Sonata, or Tchaikovsky's "Melodie". For those who prefer modern music, songs like Adele's "Someone Like You", Ed Sheeran's "Perfect", or Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" sound great on the violin. If you browse through our musicians’ profiles, you’ll be able to find videos of their live performances and their song lists to get an idea of their sound. It's worth mentioning, however, that our violinists are skilled professionals who are committed to making sure you have a great night and are more than willing to take requests if you can’t find your favourite song on their profile.
Which is better violin or electric violin?
Choosing between a traditional acoustic violin and an electric violin depends on factors like venue size, acoustics, and budget. Acoustic violins produce a warm sound but may not project well in larger spaces. Electric violins can amplify sound and offer digital effects, but some argue they lack natural expression. Ultimately, what works best will depend on your preferences and many of our violinists own both acoustic and electric so browse our collection of violinists today to see what might work best for you.
