Great new music find!
One of my favorite parts of what I do is discovering new music. I’m always on the lookout for fresh sounds, hidden gems, and tracks that bring a different kind of energy to an event. Whether it’s something brand new, an underrated artist, or a creative remix, I love finding music that makes people stop and say, “What song is this?” Music sets the mood, and every event has its own vibe. That’s why I’m constantly listening, digging, and updating my playlists to make sure what I

Electric or Acoustic Violin? Choosing the Perfect Sound for Your Wedding or Event

Acoustic or Electric violin
Versatile options available throughout your wedding day. An example of a wedding day with violin could look something like this; acoustic mellow violin playing at your ceremony, acoustic violin with amp for your drinks reception and start of your wedding breakfast, then electric violin for the rest of your meal and pre DJ set. This is just one idea but you can choose your own layout to suit your special day.

Strings at a wedding
The beautiful sound of string instruments conjures romantic tones in an atmosphere, making live strings at a wedding an excellent and popular choice.

That is the beauty of having a solo violinist play at your wedding - it costs less and saves space in tiny churches or small venues. I play to recorded accompaniments and some unaccompani
