Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in South Yorkshire
"Nadia did a wonderful job, she was easy to communicate with and came on time. Everything went perfectly. She plays beautifully. I requested a few specific songs which she didn’t already have the sheet music for, I just needed to pay an extra £10 per song and she got them and learnt them for my day, and they were beautiful, worth every penny. Would definitely recommend her! "
Kajal hired Nadia Vasileva for a Wedding (available in South Yorkshire)
"Hiring Nadia as a violinist to our wedding was effortless. Coming up to the date she reached out to confirm song choices, and our preferences for genre. We even had some super last minute song requests and she managed to learn play this perfectly. On the day, we were caught up with many things, Nadia came into the venue, independently set herself up and ensured she was ready for the start of the ceremony without needing any support or instruction. After the ceremony had finished, we again didn't have any chance to speak with her, but set herself up and continued playing for guests in different areas. I couldn't recommend her enough and I would absolutely hire her again! Thank you Nadia for being such an amazing addition to our day!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in South Yorkshire
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!).
