How much does it cost to hire Violinists / Fiddlers in Chichester?

£Low price
from£120GBP
££Average price
from£330GBP
£££High price
from£850GBP

Rates for violin players in Chichester begin at about £120 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near £330 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.

Reviews of Violinists / Fiddlers available in Chichester

5/5 from 1,277 reviews
Photo of Irish Frank Irish Frank "Frank Doherty and Ben Gunnery turned a family party into a proper ‘hooley’! From folk songs, to ballads, to the Siege of Ennis, they cranked up the volume when we wanted everyone up on the dance floor, but also allowed the fiddle, guitar and tin whistle to play quietly in the background when people wanted to sit & talk. Two very good Irish musicians; well-played lads ‘go raibh mait agat’!" Based in Fareham, England (17 miles from Chichester) Margaret Brookling Photo of ClusterFolk ClusterFolk "Clusterfolk played at my wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing. They were the perfect backdrop to my wedding reception and played a mix of instrumentals and vocals. We received many compliments regarding the music and quality, and the guys are truly lovely and easy to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again" Based in Southampton, England (28 miles from Chichester) Aoife - Wedding Photo of Strings of Talent Strings of Talent "Dear Anna, Thank you so much for being such a special part of our wedding day. Your playing was absolutely perfect and sounded incredible from start to finish. So many of our guests commented on how amazing you were, and you created such a beautiful atmosphere for the whole day. My nieces especially loved dancing to your music, it was so lovely to see them enjoying themselves so much! Those moments will always be such happy memories for us.
