"Elizaveta truly was incredible from start to finish both in the lead up to and on our wedding day. She was super accommodating and helpful during the planning stages and even assisted with adding in a voice note from my son between the two aisle walk songs. On the day, she coordinated her outfit beautifully, her music was stunning to listen to, she always had a smile and all of our guests commented on how talented she is. We truly cannot thank you enough, Elizaveta - You really bought our vision to life and we could not recommend you enough!! "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Berkshire
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!).
