Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in Leicester
"Margaret played at our wedding on Saturday - what a talent! We initially chose Margaret due to her substantial repertoire and songs that were important to us. The communication leading up to our big day was fantastic, and she took the time to get to know us and our vibe for the day. Margaret was kind enough to learn a ‘mash-up’ of songs that we had heard on our travels and executed it to perfection. She incorporated all the songs that were personal to us within the sets. My only disappointment was that we were whisked away for photos and were unable to hear the second set! Margaret thank you so much for being the soundtrack to our perfect day x"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Leicester
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!).
