Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in Slough
"Jessica was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Her violin playing was truly spectacular, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of our wedding day. Communication with Jessica was also fantastic. She was so lovely, responsive and professional, and explained everything perfectly. Even on the day of the wedding, I called her with a few last-minute questions and she was incredibly patient and helpful in talking me through everything. She added such a beautiful and special touch to our day, and we are so grateful to her. I would highly, highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a violinist for their wedding or special event. She was absolutely wonderful! 🤍🎻 "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Slough
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!).
