"Gaynor was just amazing! She played violin alongside my sister to accompany me down the aisle on my wedding day, and Gaynor smashed it! She then played for our guests during the cocktail hour and we got so many compliments on Gaynor and how lovely she was. Gaynor communication was brilliant and I have only good things to say about my experience with her and her ability to perform. Thank you Gaynor, you were amazing! "

George hired Gaynor Sutcliffe for a Wedding (available in Lancaster)
"Gaynor recently performed at our wedding, playing our ceremony music and for our drinks reception. She was absolutely brilliant and added so much magic to our day. Ahead of the wedding itself Gaynor was so responsive and learnt some fairly obscure songs we requested with ease! Throughout the day and afterwards so many people came up to us to comment on how great Gaynor’s set was. Thank you so much again Gaynor for being such a big part of our day 🎻❤️"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Lancaster
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!).
