Latest reviews of our Violinists in King's Lynn
"We booked Joanne to play for us at our elopement wedding, the venue we got married at had no electricity but that was no problem for Joanne as she had the equipment to get round this problem. Her skill is phenomenal and she created such a great atmosphere. As the groom I was greeted by Joanne and her energy just put me at ease and calmed my nerves. She was so friendly and she played music for me while I waited for the bride which was fantastic. So thank you Joanne you are such a talented violinist."

"Booked Tofunmi for our wedding. We wanted “Can’t help falling in with you” for when Sarah walked down the aisle. Tofunmi recorded a video and sent it across so we could hear him playing this. Tofunmi showed up early on the day, and was dressed so smartly for the day. He played a vast array of different songs and loads of our guests commented on how amazing he sounded. We are truly grateful and thankful to Tofunmi. He did an amazing job, played a big part in a perfect day for us and is a very talented young man. I would recommend him to anyone!"

FAQs about hiring Violinists in King's Lynn
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
How much do violinists charge for weddings?
Most wedding violinists charge between £250 and £500, depending on experience, location, and how long they’re performing. Prices usually cover the ceremony and can increase if you’d like music during the drinks reception or wedding breakfast. On Encore Musicians, you can compare verified violinists, view prices upfront, and book securely for your wedding day.
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.
