"Gaynor was absolutely amazing at our wedding, she made the day so personal and special for us and took all the stress away of having to choose specific songs, she asked for a vibe and curated the perfect playlist for us. She is such a wonderfully talented musician with a great energy and even makes many of her own backing tracks, which are perfect. We received so many compliments on her playing (including from other musicians at the wedding!) We could not have been any happier and would recommend her to play at anyone’s wedding. She truly was fantastic. Gaynor, thank you so much ❤️❤️ "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Oldham
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!).
