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

€Low price
from€140EUR
€€Average price
from€400EUR
€€€High price
from€1,000EUR

Rates for violin players in Monaghan 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. 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 (70 miles from Monaghan) 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 (70 miles from Monaghan) 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 (76 miles from Monaghan) 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 (129 miles from Monaghan) Ciara C - 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 (155 miles from Monaghan) Heather Kennedy Photo of Scarlett Strings - Violin + Singing Scarlett Strings - Violin + Singing "Scarlett was incredible! Everything about our experience was perfect from the communication to her performance. She learnt a new song for our aisle song and it was beautiful. All our guests loved the music during the ceremony and drinks reception. It was lovely to have a performance that was so elegant yet personal, I would recommend her to everyone." Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom (220 miles from Monaghan) 26th February 2026 Katy V - Wedding
