"Raffaele was incredible. It's hard to put into words, how great he was. From the moment we started communicating he showed nothing but care and attention to detail for his craft. The effort he put into making our vision a reality was second to none. His professionalism on the day, his attitude and his energy added so much. Our guests were blown away by his execution of the songs. One comment was that they could "hear the words through the music". I cannot recommend Raffaele enough, and I cannot stop talking about his performance!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Rochester
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!).
