A guide to booking

Hire Violinists / Fiddlers in Italy

Violinists in Italy cover a broad spectrum of styles for events across your area. 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 near you.

Choosing a Violin Player for Your Event

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 local 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.

Pricing for Violinists in Italy

Rates for violin players in Italy 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.

Photo of Gajè Gipsy Swing Gajè Gipsy Swing "Nothing but compliments for this band! They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues. Our day was a whirlwind of activity as we arrived and organised everything for our 3 day event but it was so lovely that our welcome party was exactly what we had imagined thanks to them." Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna 9th October 2026 Kelly - Welcome party Photo of Anastasia Violin Performer Anastasia Violin Performer "Anastasia on the violin, Valeria on the saxophone, and Andrea with her incredible voice – three exceptionally talented women, each of them highly professional and completely devoted to their music. They don’t simply perform – they bring their passion to life. You can see it, hear it and, most importantly, feel it. ❤️ Beyond their extraordinary musical talent, they are three incredibly warm, loving and attentive women with truly beautiful souls. Professional in every possible way, always thinking ahead, flexible, spontaneous and able to react perfectly to every little moment. All three accompanied our wedding on September 12th, 2026, and helped turn it into a true celebration of life, love and lightness. Their music created an atmosphere that is almost impossible to put into words and gave us moments we will remember for the rest of our lives. Our communication was mainly with Anastasia, and from the very beginning, she immediately understood our vision and, even more importantly, the feeling we wanted to create on that day. With her many years of experience, she contributed her own ideas and thoughtful suggestions, refined our plans and helped make everything feel absolutely perfect. A special thank you also goes to Matteo, who was responsible for the technical side and the sound. He was just as professional, attentive and talented – he worked his magic behind the scenes and made sure everything sounded flawless. What makes this team so special is the way they work together. It feels completely natural and effortless – almost symbiotic. Every single person brings their own talent, personality and passion, and together they create something truly magical. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, Anastasia, Valeria, Andrea and Matteo. Thank you for your music, your passion, your warmth, your professionalism and your beautiful energy. You didn’t just accompany our wedding – you became part of it and helped make it one of the most beautiful days of our lives. An incredible, harmonious team full of talent and heart. We could not recommend you more highly. ❤️ With all our love and gratitude, Anja & Giuseppe" Based in Pescara, Abruzzo 28th September 2026 Anja & Giuseppe - Wedding 12/9/26 Grottammare Photo of Matteo Cristofori Matteo Cristofori "Working with Matteo was an outstanding experience. He is an exceptionally talented musician, with a refined and distinctive musical personality. His performance was expressive and engaging, and he brought a high level of professionalism and preparation to the entire project. Matteo was reliable, collaborative, and extremely professional throughout. We would be very happy to work with him again and highly recommend him for concerts and musical events."
