Rachael hired Gaynor Sutcliffe for a Wedding (available in County Down)
"We booked Laura through Encore for our wedding at Tunnels Beaches in Devon almost 2 years in advance. Her communication from the point of booking, all the way up to the wedding day was clear, responsive, friendly and always helpful. As it got closer to the wedding day, having make key music choices initially felt quite overwhelming, but Laura’s support, extensive repertoire and professional knowledge immediately put us at ease and helped us to make those decisions. I picked a song to walk down the aisle to that Laura wasn’t already familiar with, but you would have thought she’d played it many times before. The music on the day was absolutely incredible, and we are so glad and grateful for having booked Laura. We would definitely recommend Laura to anyone considering a violinist for their wedding, as it added so much value to our ceremony and reception. Thanks again Laura!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in County Down
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!).
