Wedding Ceremony Musicians in Lyon
Woodwind Musicians in LyonThe average price is €400 (EUR). Rates for violin players in Lyon 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 €1,050+. 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.

wedding violinist in france
"Gérard was amazing, he went above and beyond, he learned a new song in a totally different style and usually played on a fiddle specifically for our wedding. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional, kind, and responsive musician for their event."
Vasilii
"Vasilii is an incredibly talented violinist whose skill and professionalism impressed us from the very first note. His virtuoso playing, excellent sense of style, and ability to choose music that matched the atmosphere of the event made our evening truly special.
I would also like to highlight how communicative and attentive he was. Vasilii easily picked up on the guests’ mood and wishes, creating exactly the atmosphere we wanted — sometimes touching and lyrical, sometimes energetic and festive.
We highly recommend Vasilii as a musician who can turn any event into an unforgettable experience. Thank you for your talent and warmth!"
Wedding Music Torino
"Outstanding and very helpful musicians. They created an elegant and romantic atmosphere that perfectly accompanied every moment of the wedding. The quality of the performances was extremely high and communication was always clear and friendly. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional live wedding music."
Violinista Torino
"I contacted the violinist for my daughter's baptism, held in the Church of San Lorenzo. The performance was delicate and touching, perfect for an intimate ceremony. He was available from the first contact, helped us choose the most suitable pieces and collaborated seamlessly with the parish organist. Impeccable service."
The DooLallys
"I first witnessed The DooLallys years ago at a kind of impromptu kitchen session. I think deeply soulful is the best way to describe their mix of pipes, strings, and song - seamless switches between O'Carolanesque 18th Century rave style to sweet balladeering, along with true and loving versions of traditional Irish music tunes, all layered with a knowing hedge school poetic sensibility."
Violinist for events and weddings
"An exceptional duo, both artistically and professionally. From our first contact, they were kind, responsive, and truly focused on our needs. During the event, they created an elegant and engaging musical backdrop, enhancing every part of the wedding from the ceremony to the reception. The combination of violin and piano was absolutely stunning and captivated all of our guests. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, emotion, and professionalism."
