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

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

Rates for violin players in Bologna 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 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 TIBi Events Production - Music Planning TIBi Events Production - Music Planning "I can't thank TIBI Events enough for helping me plan the perfect proposal in Florence. From the first message, they were friendly, helpful, and always happy to answer my questions. What I really appreciated was their honesty and experience. Everything on the day was organised perfectly. The team worked together seamlessly, and it all felt relaxed and natural. Because of their hard work, I was able to focus on the moment and enjoy it with my now fiancée. The proposal was perfect, and the photos are beautiful. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives. If you are thinking about planning a proposal or special event in Florence, I highly recommend TIBI Events. Thank you again for making such an important day so special❤️" Based in Florence, Tuscany (50 miles from Bologna) 23rd October 2026 Rohanvir Sangha Photo of Tuscany Wedding Folk Band Tuscany Wedding Folk Band "It was an excellent evening!

Based in Florence, Tuscany (50 miles from Bologna) 7th September 2026 Cato - Company event Photo of Teresaceni Violinist Teresaceni Violinist "Teresa played the violin during our wedding ceremony and aperitivo, and we couldn’t have been happier to have her there. She takes the time to think along with you beforehand, is incredibly kind and personal, and creates the most beautiful music. She truly made our ceremony so special, and we are incredibly grateful. Everyone was touched by how beautifully she played, and we would book her again in a heartbeat for our wedding. We can wholeheartedly recommend Teresa. Thank you so much, dear Teresa, for making our day even more magical! ❤️" Based in Florence, Tuscany (50 miles from Bologna) 2nd September 2026 Isabel & Armando - Wedding Photo of Bridgerton String Quartet - Tuscany Bridgerton String Quartet - Tuscany "they were great. skilled musicans and flexible to go with my program which wasn't standard. looked great as well."
