"Thank you Joey for making our special day that much more special. Things didn’t quite go to plan and Joey took the initiative and got all set up on her own and entertained our guests. She took many special requests songs from us, such as the Pokemon theme song, Studio Ghibli classics and last minute wedding intros. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a unique violinist experience. 🙌🏾 Thank you again From Yahya & Sadia"

"Everything was PERFECT! I hired Coline to play the violin for my proposal in Menton, France. Coline was punctual, communicative, and super kind! She let me submit a few songs that are special to my fiance and I and she was so so good. As someone who doesn't speak French and has never been to the area, I was nervous about booking someone for such a big event but she put me at ease each step of the way. 10/10 recommend!"

FAQs about hiring Violinists in Kensington And Chelsea
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Are violins popular for weddings?
Yes, absolutely, particularly for smaller, more intimate weddings, one violinist can be enough. A solo violinist can create a beautiful, elegant atmosphere that is loud enough to be heard by everyone without drowning out conversation. However, for larger weddings, you might want to opt for a string quartet or a string duo instead for a fuller sound. If unsure, chat with one of our experts today who talk through your budget, venue and tastes to work out what would work best for you.
Is one violin enough for a wedding?
Yes, violinists are very popular for weddings. Traditional, acoustic violinists are great for wedding ceremonies, evening meals and wedding breakfasts, whereas electric violinists are popular for drinks receptions as they have a louder sound.
Which songs sound best on the violin?
The violin is often associated with classical music, but it's a versatile instrument that can work well with many genres. If you're a fan of classical music, you might enjoy listening to Pachelbel's Canon in D, Beethoven's "Spring" Sonata, or Tchaikovsky's "Melodie". For those who prefer modern music, songs like Adele's "Someone Like You", Ed Sheeran's "Perfect", or Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" sound great on the violin. If you browse through our musicians’ profiles, you’ll be able to find videos of their live performances and their song lists to get an idea of their sound. It's worth mentioning, however, that our violinists are skilled professionals who are committed to making sure you have a great night and are more than willing to take requests if you can’t find your favourite song on their profile.
Which is better violin or electric violin?
Choosing between a traditional acoustic violin and an electric violin depends on factors like venue size, acoustics, and budget. Acoustic violins produce a warm sound but may not project well in larger spaces. Electric violins can amplify sound and offer digital effects, but some argue they lack natural expression. Ultimately, what works best will depend on your preferences and many of our violinists own both acoustic and electric so browse our collection of violinists today to see what might work best for you.
