Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in East Sussex
"A Truly Exceptional Violinist We cannot recommend our violinist highly enough! Jessie played at our wedding at the Royal Pavilion and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Her talent, professionalism, and beautiful presence added something truly special to our day. What meant the most to us was that Jessie took the time to learn several Persian pieces specifically for our wedding. These songs were incredibly meaningful to us and our families, and hearing Jessie perform them so beautifully was genuinely emotional. Our guests were completely in awe ans so were we. A truly talented musician and a wonderful person. We would recommend Jessi without hesitation!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in East Sussex
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!).
