Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in Highlands and Islands
"There is no amount of praise too great for Elizabeth. She took a sort of bizarre request for playing the violin during a marriage proposal at a Scottish castle and made absolute magic for my partner and myself. It goes without saying that Elizabeth is unbelievably talented and her emotive playing added a beautiful layer to the day, but she also was kind, generous, responsive, helpful, and beyond accommodating. Elizabeth is now a permanent part of our story and I do believe I have a new friend, as well! I'm in the states and I wish I lived a bit closer so I could hear Elizabeth play more frequently. You won't go wrong having Elizabeth be part of your special day! "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Highlands And Islands
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!).
