"Fiona was wonderful and made our wedding day so magical. She plays beautifully and communicating with her about what I wanted for the day was very easy. So happy we chose her!"
Michaela hired Fiona Liddell for a Wedding (available in Inverness)
"From the outset Scarlett was so easy to deal with. Communication was timely, straightforward & a pleasure to deal with. Sadly I didn't get chance to speak to Scarlett on the day & we gave her carte blanche to play music she felt was appropriate & we were not disappointed! Our guests commented how Scarlett set the ambience as they waited for the bridal party and again whilst we signed our register followed by the drinks reception. Scarlett was a true professional and worked alongside a lone piper for the ceremony. I would have no hesitation recommending Scarlett to others! My only regret is that I didn't get to meet you Scarlett! Wishing you all the very best! Katie & Markus xx"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Inverness
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!).
