Wedding Ceremony Musicians in France
Woodwind Musicians in FranceViolinists available for hire in France cover a broad spectrum of styles for any event. Solo acoustic performers handle classical ceremony music and background sets for dinners and receptions, while electric violin players bring high-energy chart covers and dance music with backing tracks. Traditional fiddle players are a popular pick for folk-themed celebrations and cultural events.
The right performer depends on the type of event and the atmosphere you want to create. Classical violin suits formal ceremonies, drinks receptions and corporate dinners. Electric violin works well for livelier moments such as evening receptions, product launches and milestone parties. Many violin players offer both acoustic and electric options within a single booking, transitioning between styles as the event progresses. It is worth asking about repertoire, set lengths and any additional equipment they bring.
Rates for violin players in France begin at about €140 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near €400 and experienced electric acts carrying their own sound equipment reaching €1,000+. 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.
The average price is €400 (EUR), with most priced from €140 to €1,000+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

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."
Jazzy Pop Singer Instrumentalist
"I can't thank Penny enough! She played a beautiful version of our special song on the violin while I proposed to my partner. Working with her before the event was effortless, and she went above and beyond on the day to make sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!"
Sofia — Violinist & Lyric Singer (Paris)
"Sofia was incredibly kind and attentive throughout every interaction. She took my idea and turned it into something even more charming than I had imagined. I'm extremely happy with the result and highly recommend her!"
violin around the world
"We had Anastasia perform during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and she was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and a joy to work with. Her beautiful music created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony and made the entire experience feel even more emotional and unforgettable."
IrineTheViolinist
"Irene, wow! She was so absolutely amazing, accommodating, and professional! I found literally 1 week before my ceremony and she came through for me. Although the wedding was in Paris, France she was able to speak to me in english and quickly come to an agreement that worked for me. When the event day came and ran 15-30 minutes behind she accommodated the scheduling and did a BEAUTIFUL job. I sent her the American songs I wanted, she found tracks for them and played them so well. I will forever be grateful to her on my wedding day. She was the final touch we wanted. Thank you so much Irene."
Hans professional violinist
"Hans is not only an amazing Violinist, he is an amazing person and made every step of booking a Violinist in a different country for our wedding as easy as possible.
From the first video call well before our wedding, to constantly making sure we were creating the perfect ceremony/cocktail/dinner playing experience I can not stress enough how quick his responses were and how much he actually cared about our special day.
Hans quickly put together a professional contract for us so all the details were set in stone almost half a year before the wedding date!
Hans was able to play ANY song that we requested as well as to play a very specific piece during my wife’s walk down the aisle - timing it perfect and effortlessly all by himself.
Furthermore Hans actually also helped us out with other caterers and arranged his own transport to a very remote location.
10/10 experience working with Hans through the entire process"
