How much does it cost to hire Violinists / Fiddlers in Ottawa?

$Low price
from$230CAD
$$Average price
from$650CAD
$$$High price
from$1,600CAD

Rates for violin players in Ottawa 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.

Photo of Luxury violinists Luxury violinists "Hiring Violaset for our wedding was hands down the best decision we made. Our guests endlessly complimented us on choosing these exceptional violinists to play our ceremony music. It elevated our event from wedding to fairytale. Thank you so so much for being a part of our wedding and for making it so magical!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (218 miles from Ottawa) 15th June 2026 Jessica Cobb - Wedding Photo of Wonder Violin Wonder Violin "We had the absolute pleasure of having Yuliia perform next to my coffee trailer, and it was pure magic. Her music created such a beautiful atmosphere — everyone was amazed and couldn’t stop talking about it. It truly made the experience unforgettable. I can’t wait to do this again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for something special ❤️" Based in Toronto, Ontario (218 miles from Ottawa) 12th January 2026 Anastasia Alex - Private event Photo of Justin Curry Justin Curry "An absolute Virtuoso! The only thing I can say is that Justin was by far the best choice I have ever made to give my event it's WOW factor! An absolute professional and gentlemen, he worked with us on all of our requests, and was flexible even when our event fell behind schedule! He was punctual, kind and with my years of attending classical concerts, ranks with (and above) many top soloists I have gone to see at Carnegie Hall! An absolute Virtuoso and master of his craft despite his young age! I can't recommend him enough, Justin Curry is truly world class entertainment and a class act!"

The children and adults all had a wonderful time from Victoria starting us off with her beautiful violin playing to Mario's magic and escape performances. Mario was very funny and held the attention of everyone in the room. The children and adults were able to participate in some of the acts which made the show extra special. I would recommend further bookings for Mario."
