Charlie hired Elizaveta Saul for a Private event (available in Basingstoke)
"Elizaveta was an absolute dream to have as our wedding violinist, truly a 10/10 in every way! From the moment we first got in touch, her communication was flawless, warm, responsive, and incredibly professional, which made the whole process feel effortless. On the day itself, she completely exceeded every expectation. She performed beautifully for our guest arrival, wedding ceremony, and drinks reception, creating the most magical atmosphere throughout. Her playing was simply stunning, elegant, emotional, and perfectly suited to every moment. One of the loveliest touches was how thoughtfully she matched our colour theme with her gorgeous dress. Elizaveta added something truly special to our wedding day, the kind of magic you can’t quite put into words but will always remember. She has been so kind and wonderful to work with, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re considering booking with her, do it!! She is beyond amazing. We would book her again in a heartbeat and cannot thank her enough for making our day so unforgettable! 🤍"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Basingstoke
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What kind of music can a violinist play?
Pretty much anything! Violinists will usually be most comfortable playing classical music, but that doesn't mean they won't be able whip up fresh renditions of your favourite pop, folk, or jazz tunes. Best to check first before asking them to play krautrock though.
Will I need to provide the violinist with any equipment?
Other than a seat for breaks, probably not. If your venue is small, they will likely play unamplified. All they'll need to make the music happen is their violin, a bow, and a receptive audience (oh, and probably a music stand). If your venue is larger, they should be able to provide amplification.
Do violinists normally play with backing tracks?
It depends. If you only want the violinist’s performance to include classical pieces, they probably won’t need backing tracks. If the violinist’s performance includes pop songs or other styles, they may be able to provide backing tracks to fill out their performance. They’ll often perform the melody line of popular tunes, alongside pre-prepared backing tracks (think: ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeran, or ‘Skyfall’ by Adele - these songs sound great played on violin!).
