Laura hired Violin for Weddings for a Wedding (available in North Yorkshire)
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Gaynor play at our wedding ceremony, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience. From the very beginning, Gaynor was an absolute dream to work with — so lovely, approachable, and made everything feel so easy and straightforward. On the day itself, she arrived early, got herself set up without any fuss, and was ready and raring to go, which instantly put us at ease. The moment Gaynor started playing, it truly felt like magic. Not only is she an incredibly talented violinist, but she also brought such warmth and joy with her. It genuinely felt as though she wanted to be there and was enjoying being part of our day, which made her performance even more special and personal. I honestly couldn’t recommend Gaynor highly enough — she added an extra layer of beauty and emotion to our ceremony that we will never forget. We are already thinking of excuses to book her again! Gaynor, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our wedding and for making it that bit more magical. We will treasure it forever. 🎻❤️"

FAQs about hiring Violinists in North Yorkshire
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.
