Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in Lancaster
"We had Gaynor as our wedding violinist and she was absolutely fab from start to finish. She created such a special atmosphere, and I genuinely had goosebumps before walking down the aisle! She was really responsive and helpful in the lead-up, making everything feel easy and stress-free. She had such a great repertoire of songs and was more than happy to take any suggestions, which made it feel really personal to us. On top of being incredibly talented, she’s also just a really lovely person to work with. We’re so glad we chose her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a violinist for their wedding or special event🫶🏻"
Megan hired Gaynor Sutcliffe for a Wedding (available in Lancaster)
"Gaynor was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Pre-wedding comms were really helpful and enthusiastic. She was able to offer advice where needed and was willing to look at/practice any song requests put her way. On the day, Gaynor was really flexible on the location, adapting to where we moved for photos etc. Each set set beautifully played and really appreciated by our guests for whom she was a surprise. Would thoroughly recommend having Gaynor play violin/keyboard at your wedding or special occasion. Thank you Gaynor! "
Emma hired Gaynor Sutcliffe for a Wedding (available in Lancaster)
"Gaynor was absolutely perfect. All communication via social channels/through encore was excellent. Me and my partner asked for a couple of songs Gaynor had never performed before and they were performed perfectly. So many guests came to us to tell us how impressed they were with Gaynor and how much of a nice touch it was for our ceremony and drinks reception. Gaynor came early to ensure she was set up and everything was spot on for our day. A really special touch for us was the note left in our guest book by Gaynor. Every time we now go back to our guestbook, we will be reminded of the beautiful music played by Gaynor on our special day. Our only regret is not having Gaynor booked for our meal also. Incredible.

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!).
