Rates for violin players in Bristol begin at about £120 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near £340 and experienced electric acts carrying their own sound equipment reaching £850+. 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.

Barnbuskers Ceilidh Barn Dance Band
"I had the best time with the Barn Buskers celebrating my 50th birthday. From the minute I booked them to the moment they had to leave they were brilliant. The youngest guest was 2, the oldest was 85 and everybody said what a fantastic time they had. Knees hurt but cheeks hurt more from all the smiling and laughing. The caller did extraordinarily well keeping us all together. Note to self.....must learn left from right 😂😂 If you are looking for some talented musicians with a flare to keep the party going, at a pace that suits your needs, then look no further. I believe a friend has booked them for their wedding next year, and I for one can't wait to do it all again 🩷 Huge thank you to Judy and co. Truly a most memorable day 🩷🥳"

Alexander Roberts
"Alex played at our wedding as part of a duo on Saturday. It was absolutely outstanding. The guests loved the music and it made the ceremony that much more romantic, and very emotional. He was very helpful in preparation and made the process of choosing my music easy. I will definitely be recommending him in the future."
Sensational Violin
"Roksana was absolutely phenomenal! I booked her for our engagement party. We came up with a playlist together a month before and as soon as she started playing everyone jaw's dropped! We will definitely book Roksana for our wedding day, she gave us such incredible evening!
