Latest reviews of our Violinists in Rochdale

Gaynor Sutcliffe
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"We got married at Browsholme hall on Saturday with Gaynor playing the violin for our ceremony in the beautiful barn. Gaynor was absolutely incredible, she was so helpful and accommodating throughout the booking process, and she took the time to learn and perfect all of the music we requested, some of which she won’t have played at all before! Gaynor was faultless, her music was unbelievable and brought tears to many of our guests eyes. The rest of the day was spent with guests raving about her talent and the beautiful performance she gave. We’ll certainly be recommending her for our friends’ future weddings and wouldn’t hesitate to book her for any future events. My only regret is not booking her for longer! Thanks again so much Gaynor, you were such a wonderful addition to our perfect day, and your version of Taylor Swift’s Enchanted for my entrance was better than I could ever have imagined! Xxx"

"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. "

FAQs about hiring Violinists in Rochdale

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.
