Latest reviews of our Wedding Violinists in Wokingham
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Elizaveta play the violin at our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier. She was so accommodating with our requests, which we had sent through a few weeks before the wedding, and she was incredibly helpful in guiding us through our choices. Her experience and advice on what would work best were so valuable. We had so many guests comment on how amazing Elizaveta was and how beautiful the music sounded. She truly added such a special and memorable touch to our day, and my husband and I are so happy we had her be part of our wedding. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional and lovely violinist!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Violinists in Wokingham
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!).
