Violinists available for hire in Portugal cover a broad spectrum of styles for any event. 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.
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 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 Portugal 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 €1,050+. 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 is €400 (EUR), with most priced from €140 to €1,050+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

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."
Violinist for weddings and events
"Renata is a great professional, very friendly and proactive. In addition to being very musically talented. Throughout the entire process she responded quickly and was concerned with the playlist we were choosing and played very well all the songs we had chosen. From simple to complex ones.
Renata was very punctual at the event time and very patient with setbacks as well. We will have the pleasure of hiring her at a next opportunity."
Laila Prieto
"Laila was outstanding! She was super responsive and helped me with details and planning for a surprise proposal on short notice. She was kind, reliable, professional, and punctual throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend booking her for your special moment. I couldn't be more happy with her services."
BG Violin
"Bruno was fantastic! He was responsive and helpful through the process from planning to execution. He was punctual and understood how to deliver exactly what I wanted to create the perfect unforgettable moment. He was able to deliver on short notice and interpret my special request to deliver the right musical mood. I would highly recommend his services."
The Tiny Musician
"What an amazing talent Joana has. We booked her to play as our guests arrived before the wedding ceremony and then as I walked down the aisle, and she did such a beautiful job. Her talent is unbelievable and the music was absolutely perfect for the ceremony.
She was also probably the easiest supplier from our entire wedding to deal with! She is the loveliest person, so friendly and made everything incredibly easy from start to finish.
Joana played such an important part in one of the biggest moments of our day and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better.
Thank you so much, Joana, for being such a special part of our wedding. I couldn’t recommend The Tiny Musician enough!"
Nadeya
"My wife and I hired Nadeya to play violin at our wedding - and she was truly amazing! She was not only the main music for the ceremony itself, but also for the entire cocktail hour. We came across videos of Nadeya on the internet and immediately liked her style. Having setup video calls to meet, we really enjoyed working with her throughout the process - she is very kind-hearted and super easy to work with. In terms of her music, we put full trust in her for the biggest day of our life and she exceeded expectations. The ceremony went perfectly, and the music during the cocktail hour was something we've continued to receive compliments from guests on! We feel very lucky we found her."
