Woodwind Musicians in MelbourneRates for violin players in Melbourne begin at about $230 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near $650 and experienced electric acts carrying their own sound equipment reaching $1,600+. Set length drives the figure more than anything else, followed by whether the performance is acoustic or electric and how far the player travels. Learning a specific piece for a processional or first dance usually adds a small fee, and covering a ceremony and an evening reception together costs more than a single set. Ask for a written quote that states set length, arrival time and the rate if the schedule overruns. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Yohan Lakshitha | Violinist🎻
"Grateful to Yohan for opening our event, Melodies in the Sky with Anjalee, on Saturday, 9 May 2026, with such a heartfelt violin performance. It truly set the perfect tone"
Matthew Lim Violin
"Where do you start with this guy? He's seriously the whole package. Super humble, super gifted and just an all-round great guy!
If you want someone to bless your ears with incredible, classically-trained melodies, then look no further!
Had the privilege of having both Matthew and his wife join us at our wedding. Matthew played at our wedding ceremony and also at our reception! Made the night such a special and unforgettable night.
But don't just take my word for it... ask him yourself! Matthew also was incredibly helpful in working with our budget and was very accommodating, to arrange practice times, in and amongst a busy season of his life.
1000 / 10 recommend!"

"Ms Ay Shyuan Wong is an exceptionally gifted electric violinist. We invited her all the way from Singapore to Melbourne to perform at my 60th birthday milestone celebration, and she was undoubtedly the highlight of the entertainment for the night.
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."
