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

€Low price
from€140EUR
€€Average price
from€400EUR
€€€High price
from€1,050EUR

Rates for violin players in Drogheda 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.

Photo of Ayden Graham – Folk/Rock/Jazz Covers Ayden Graham – Folk/Rock/Jazz Covers "An absolute breath of new life in the music scene. Fantastic musician with a wide range of styles with amazing vocals. Very entertaining. Watch out for this guy,he is well worth a listen. Go see him perform." Based in Dublin, Leinster (27 miles from Drogheda) 7th November 2025 mike O'Loughlin Photo of Meadhbh Hayes - Trad/Folk/Pop Covers Meadhbh Hayes - Trad/Folk/Pop Covers "Simply put, Meadhbh Hayes is a show stopper. She played for our private family of 17 during our stay in Galway. She is bursting with talent, charisma, and energy. Honestly if she lived in the USA I would befriend her in an instant. Her song choices catered to a wide range of tunes and she even sang a new song she wrote. Phenomenal in every way!! Highly recommend for your next event. She will not disappoint!" Based in Dublin, Leinster (27 miles from Drogheda) Jessica Miceli - Private Family Event Photo of Asgards Traditional Irish Music Asgards Traditional Irish Music "Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and adding such a wonderful touch to the day. Walking down the aisle to Tabhair dom do lámh was a moment we'll never forget, and the tunes you played throughout the cocktail reception kept the atmosphere so lively and joyous. Your music made Emma's whole Irish side of the family very happy and gave many of our American guests their first intro to traditional Irish music - not to mention that you all sounded great too! We can't thank you enough for adding such a special touch to our Wedding Day! With so much gratitude," Based in Kildare, Leinster (45 miles from Drogheda) 1st August 2026 Emma & Hunter - Private wedding Kilkea Castle Photo of Swingy duo Swingy duo "We were very lucky to have Alice and Fernando travel up the country and perform at our wedding. We had them perform at both our drinks reception and the after-dinner entertainment. We had given a few suggestions like to play some ‘summery rock music but in their own style’ as well as performing their own style of music, and they absolutely delivered! They are both extremely talented and it was such a unique musical act to hear at a wedding which was exactly what we wanted! We were so happy with everything they did and highly recommend them. The only downside was that myself and the groom were not able to just sit and listen to them playing as we were so busy throughout the day 😂" Based in Limerick, Munster (119 miles from Drogheda) Ciara C - Wedding Photo of Echo Strings Echo Strings "We can’t thank Echo String Quartet enough- they made our day perfect. The girls were all such lovely people, and they were so professional. They listened to all our requests and they even helped us out at the church with playing the hymns- a last minute spanner in the works from us! Honestly, you were incredible and so many guests have commented on how wonderful the music was. Thank you so so much." Based in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom (140 miles from Drogheda) Abigail B - Wedding Photo of Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band "The band were wonderful and so accommodating with our requests for the night which helped to make it just that little bit more special. So many of our guests commented on the fantastic music!" Based in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom (170 miles from Drogheda) Heather Kennedy
