"The whole experience was fantastic, Eleanor herself couldn’t make the performance, but she very kindly organised a colleague to come and perform, Ruth, and she was amazing, the two put together a great playlist, and it was played beautifully, especially a song that wasn’t on their set list and they learned a lovely version of it! It made my proposal to my parter so magical!"

Katie hired Richard Sanderson for a Wedding (available in Huddersfield)
"Booked Tofunmi for our wedding. We wanted “Can’t help falling in with you” for when Sarah walked down the aisle. Tofunmi recorded a video and sent it across so we could hear him playing this. Tofunmi showed up early on the day, and was dressed so smartly for the day. He played a vast array of different songs and loads of our guests commented on how amazing he sounded. We are truly grateful and thankful to Tofunmi. He did an amazing job, played a big part in a perfect day for us and is a very talented young man. I would recommend him to anyone!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Huddersfield
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!).
