Wedding Ceremony Musicians
Woodwind MusiciansViolin players bring a rare combination of elegance and range to live events. A solo violinist can set the tone for an intimate wedding ceremony with acoustic classical pieces, then switch to an electric violin and backing tracks to fill a dance floor later the same evening. Fiddle players bring a different energy entirely, drawing on Irish, Scottish, American and European folk traditions to get guests on their feet. This breadth of style makes the violin one of the most adaptable instruments for hire.
Classical violinists typically perform pieces like Pachelbel's Canon in D, Bach's Air on a G String and Elgar's Salut d'Amour during ceremonies, and lighter classical or jazz standards over drinks receptions and dinner. Electric violin acts cover modern chart hits, from Ed Sheeran and Coldplay to dance and film soundtrack music, often performing with loop pedals or pre-recorded backing. Many violin players work well alongside other musicians, whether paired with a classical pianist for a ceremony, joining a string quartet for a fuller sound, or teaming up with a sax and DJ act for a modern reception. A solo acoustic performer needs minimal space and no power supply, while electric violinists require a standard power socket and a small area for their PA and pedals.
Weddings account for the bulk of violin bookings. Ceremony music is the most popular request, with processional and recessional pieces tailored to the couple's taste. Cocktail hours and drinks receptions are the next most common slot, where a violinist provides background music that encourages conversation without dominating it. Corporate dinners, product launches, gallery openings and private parties all suit live violin. Fiddle players are especially popular at folk-themed weddings, barn dances and cultural celebrations. For outdoor events, acoustic violinists perform without amplification, while electric players can scale their volume to suit larger spaces. If you also need musicians for other parts of your event, consider pairing a violinist with harpists for the ceremony or booking wedding ceremony musicians who offer multi-instrument packages.
Rates for violinists start at about $120 for a short acoustic set and reach $900+ for an experienced electric violin act with a full repertoire and professional sound equipment. The average price sits at $380. Key factors that affect cost include performance duration (most acts offer one to three hours), travel distance, whether the performer plays acoustic or electric, and any special song-learning requests. Extended packages covering both a ceremony and evening reception typically cost more than a single set, so it is worth discussing your full schedule when requesting a quote.
The average price for Violinists / Fiddlers is $380 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Electric Sky Violin
"A Truly Exceptional Performer
I had the pleasure of having Adrain perform at my New Year’s Eve party, and he was absolutely stunning! Adrain is an incredibly talented violinist, but what impressed me just as much as his talent was the passion, professionalism, and genuine care he brought to the entire event.
Adrain took the time to make sure he had a wide variety of music that would fit every part of the evening—from beautiful, sweet, slow waltzes while everyone was relaxing, eating, and enjoying conversation, to faster, energetic music with cultural meaning and significance that brought back so many familiar feelings and memories. When people got up and started dancing, he transitioned into that energy so naturally and smoothly. Honestly, every time Adrain got on stage, I wanted to get up and dance!
One thing that really stood out to me was how incredibly prepared he was. He doesn't have to depend on the venue or someone else to provide the equipment necessary for his performance because he literally has everything he needs himself, his own speakers, sound equipment, microphones, and everything required to put on a professional performance. He even brings extra equipment and supplies in case something unexpected comes up. His setup was clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing, and he worked incredibly hard to make sure everything was ready and looked great. As someone hosting an event, that kind of preparation gives you so much peace of mind.
Adrain was also exceptionally easy to work with from beginning to end. He is incredibly modest, too. I complimented him so many times throughout the evening, and he would always say that he wished he were better—which I have to respectfully disagree with! 😂 He is truly an exceptional performer!
One of the things that impressed me most, though, was seeing how willing Adrain was to help the other performers. Once he had his own setup taken care of, he immediately stepped in whenever someone else needed help, doing whatever he could to make sure they had what they needed to give their own memorable performances. He didn't have to do that, and there was nothing in it for him other than simply being a genuinely wonderful and supportive person. That really says a lot about the kind of person he is.
The New Year’s Eve party was such a memorable experience, and Adrain’s performance was a huge part of what made the evening so special. I have also seen videos of him performing at weddings and have heard a few stories about his beautiful private performances for couples, including Valentine’s Day celebrations and even a marriage proposal on the beach. It is very easy to see why people choose Adrain for such meaningful occasions.
I would absolutely recommend Adrain to anyone looking for an exceptional entertainer and musician. If you're looking for someone who is talented, passionate, professional, prepared, self-sufficient, personable, and genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience, you really can't go wrong with him.
Adrain doesn't just play the violin—he makes the music become part of the occasion. ❤️🎻"

"We hired Azul Strings for our awards show in September and we really impressed with the group. We were looking for an act that would be high-energy and get our party started and they delivered. The booking process was simple and Naomi and the team were very collaborative. We look forward to working with Azul Strings in the future."
