"Katie was great, she played her violin before the wedding, during the ceremony and for a period afterwards. Worth every penny, provided lovely music while guests socialised and made our wedding ceremony extra special. Would highly recommend! Thank you! "
Katy hired Katie Fiddlestix for a Wedding (available in West Yorkshire)
"Emma was absolutely phenomenal and such an important part of making our wedding ceremony feel completely ours. We had a fairly ambitious musical plan, with everything from Oasis and The La’s to The Beach Boys, The Smiths, and Fleetwood Mac - and Emma embraced the whole thing brilliantly. She worked seamlessly with our other musicians on the day, was incredibly flexible and professional, and brought everything together beautifully. Hearing the music we had spent so long planning actually come to life as everyone entered the ceremony was incredibly special. Emma is a gorgeous player, an absolute pleasure to work with, and someone I would recommend without hesitation. Thank you for helping create one of our favourite parts of the entire wedding!"

"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 West 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!).
