Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in Newcastle upon Tyne
"We decided quite last minute that we wanted a violinist for our wedding ceremony and I am so glad we did now. Prior to booking Emma sent me an example of her playing my entrance song and from there, I knew I had to book her. Emma was simply amazing from start to finish. From timings to playing of the actual songs, it was just beautiful. Emma also learnt some specific songs that we wanted, that she had not played before and that meant everything to us. Thank you so much Emma. More than 5 stars if possible. We would highly recommend! "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Newcastle Upon Tyne
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!).
