Wedding Ceremony Musicians in JapanViolinists in Japan 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.
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.
Rates for violin players in Japan begin at about ¥26,500 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near ¥70,000 and experienced electric acts carrying their own sound equipment reaching ¥180,000+. 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.
The average price for Violinists / Fiddlers available in Japan is ¥70,000 (JPY). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Michael Shingo Crawford | Tokyo Violinist
"Michael is not only an incredible violinist, he went above and beyond by learning a song that we requested. As soon as he started playing it, both me and my dad burst into tears… My wedding was at a tricky venue and Michael went out of his way to get there and while I didn’t spend much time with him, he was the perfect addition to our special day. He is truly incredible at his craft and was highly professional. I would not hesitate to hire him in the future."

Martin Bevacua - Violinist
"We are so happy that we chose Martin to be our musician for our wedding day. From the very beginning, he was communicative, flexible, and so easy to work with. He took the time to learn the songs that my fiancé and I had chosen, and he was also incredibly accommodating in agreeing to play along with a recording of my dad playing the piano for my walk down the aisle. It made that moment incredibly special and personal to us.
On the wedding day, all of our guests were raving about how amazing Martin was, both playing the violin and singing. He is incredibly talented and brought such a beautiful energy to our ceremony and celebration. We truly couldn't have asked for a better musician to be part of our wedding day."
Maksym Filatov
"Maksym was very easy and fast to communicate with.
From the very begging Maksym shared good ideas about the songs to be played and gave good suggestions about the timeline.
He arrived on time and play extremely well. His violin definitely helped to set the mood during our ceremony and helped to energize the guests during the cocktail hour.
There is nothing bad to be said, all the songs sounded amazing.
Would highly recommend your wedding or next event!
Thanks again Maksym!"
WE DUO - Violin and Cello
"WE DUO was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding in Evora! From the first consultation (Filipa is very prompt and responsive!) to the day of the event, we could not be happier with their service. They have a large repertoire of music to choose from and are also very accommodating when it comes to learning new music which made our event feel truly personal. We had so many guests approach us after the wedding ceremony who told us how much they loved the music that Filipa and Bruno played."
