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.

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."
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❤️"
Tuscany Wedding Folk Band
"It was an excellent evening! These three guys created a fantastic atmosphere for our Italian dinner and party. Italian hits came on continuously, and led to singing and dancing. Thanks guys, this was brilliant."
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! ❤️"

"Michela is amazing. Both Michela and her husband Elia, that provides the back ground music, are a dancers dream. We got lost waltzing to their music.....was so beautiful. I can only hope that we will see them again one day on another Princess Cruise. They made our cruise the best ever. Thank you so much Michela."
