Rates for violin players in Kyoto 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. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Roman Gromov
"Kristina and Roman delivered an absolutely beautiful performance during our wedding ceremony on Koh Samui. Their music was so moving that they brought many of our guests (and us!) to tears.
What impressed us most was their dedication—they specially practiced several songs at our request and played them perfectly during and after the ceremony. They harmonized wonderfully together and perfectly matched the romantic, emotional vibe of our wedding.
Roman added such a lovely personal touch by walking close to our guests with his violin, playing up close and creating intimate, unforgettable moments that everyone loved.
If you’re looking for harmonious, high-quality live music for your wedding, I cannot recommend Kristina and Roman enough. They elevated our ceremony from special to truly magical. Thank you both!"

"Ms Ay Shyuan Wong is an exceptionally gifted electric violinist. We invited her all the way from Singapore to Melbourne to perform at my 60th birthday milestone celebration, and she was undoubtedly the highlight of the entertainment for the night.
We feel truly blessed to have had such an extraordinary and talented musician perform for us and make this special occasion even more memorable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ay Shyuan Wong to anyone looking to add elegance, excitement, and a touch of magic to their special occasion. She is truly exceptional.
Bests Regards
Dave and family."

Myat.BurmeseViolinist
"Ms. Myat delivered an absolutely captivating violin performance at DaVinci’s Italian restaurant. From the moment she began playing, the atmosphere transformed into something truly special, elegant, warm and emotionally rich. Her technique was flawless, but what stood out even more was her ability to connect with the audience through every note.
She moved effortlessly between pieces, blending classical charm with a modern touch that suited the ambiance of the restaurant perfectly. Whether playing soft, romantic melodies or more vibrant, expressive compositions, she maintained a level of artistry that held everyone’s attention.
It’s rare to find a performer who enhances a dining experience so completely, but Ms. Myat did just that. Anyone fortunate enough to hear her play will leave with a lasting impression."

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!"
