A guide to booking

Hire Electric Violinists in South Africa

Booking an electric violinist in South Africa is one of the simpler live music arrangements to plan. Most acts travel self-contained, carrying their instrument, backing tracks and a PA sized for the room, which makes them as practical for a small drinks reception as for a full evening party. Almost all will tailor the set list to the occasion, from background dinner music through to a packed dance floor.

Sound, Space and Setup

An electric violin stays silent until it is plugged in, so volume sits entirely under the player's control. That makes these acts a safe booking for venues with sound limiters or strict noise rules, where a full live band would struggle. A solo performer needs only a couple of square metres of floor space, a standard power socket and around 30 to 45 minutes to set up and soundcheck. For outdoor ceremonies or open-air receptions, confirm access to power and covered shelter in advance.

Planning the Performance

Wireless setups are worth asking about early: they free the performer to move through the room during drinks or dinner, then switch to a staged set for the evening. Custom arrangements, such as a first dance or a walk-in track for an awards night, should be agreed at booking, since new material takes time to prepare. If you want an LED light show, check the room can be dimmed; the visuals lose their impact under bright lighting.

What Electric Violinists Charge

Hiring an electric violin act in South Africa typically costs between about R3,250 and R18,500+, with most quotes landing around R8,000. When comparing quotes, check what each includes: PA and lighting, arrival and setup time, and any extras such as a ceremony set or a late finish. Acts price a full wedding day covering ceremony, drinks and evening party differently from a single evening set, so describe the whole event when you enquire.

We feel truly blessed to have had such an extraordinary and talented musician perform for us and make this special occasion even more memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Ay Shyuan Wong to anyone looking to add elegance, excitement, and a touch of magic to their special occasion. She is truly exceptional. Bests Regards Dave and family." Based in Singapore, Central Singapore, Singapore 19th October 2026 David Maitland - My 60th Birthday Party Photo of Martin Bevacua - Violinist Martin Bevacua - Violinist "We are so happy that we chose Martin to be our musician for our wedding day. From the very beginning, he was communicative, flexible, and so easy to work with. He took the time to learn the songs that my fiancé and I had chosen, and he was also incredibly accommodating in agreeing to play along with a recording of my dad playing the piano for my walk down the aisle. It made that moment incredibly special and personal to us. On the wedding day, all of our guests were raving about how amazing Martin was, both playing the violin and singing. He is incredibly talented and brought such a beautiful energy to our ceremony and celebration. We truly couldn't have asked for a better musician to be part of our wedding day." Based in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France 7th October 2026 Julia Photo of Violinist for weddings and events Violinist for weddings and events "Renata is a great professional, very friendly and proactive. In addition to being very musically talented. Throughout the entire process she responded quickly and was concerned with the playlist we were choosing and played very well all the songs we had chosen. From simple to complex ones. Renata was very punctual at the event time and very patient with setbacks as well. We will have the pleasure of hiring her at a next opportunity." Translated from Portuguese Based in Braga, Portugal 30th September 2026 Eduardo - Aniversário Photo of Andrea Pinsuti Andrea Pinsuti "Andrea was exceptional!!
