Rates for violin players in County Down 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.

Ayden Graham – Folk/Rock/Jazz Covers
"An absolute breath of new life in the music scene. Fantastic musician with a wide range of styles with amazing vocals. Very entertaining. Watch out for this guy,he is well worth a listen. Go see him perform."
Meadhbh Hayes - Trad/Folk/Pop Covers
"Simply put, Meadhbh Hayes is a show stopper. She played for our private family of 17 during our stay in Galway. She is bursting with talent, charisma, and energy. Honestly if she lived in the USA I would befriend her in an instant. Her song choices catered to a wide range of tunes and she even sang a new song she wrote. Phenomenal in every way!! Highly recommend for your next event. She will not disappoint!"
Asgards Traditional Irish Music
"We had the Asgards play at the day 2 of our wedding in September to a mixed audience of British and Irish guests and they were absolutely phenomenal! We really wanted our guests to experience some traditional Irish music as part of our wedding celebration and Asgards were the perfect band for that!"
Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band
"The band were wonderful and so accommodating with our requests for the night which helped to make it just that little bit more special. So many of our guests commented on the fantastic music!"
Echo Strings
"We can’t thank Echo String Quartet enough- they made our day perfect. The girls were all such lovely people, and they were so professional. They listened to all our requests and they even helped us out at the church with playing the hymns- a last minute spanner in the works from us! Honestly, you were incredible and so many guests have commented on how wonderful the music was. Thank you so so much."
Scotia Strings
"Just a note to say 'thank you' for Scotia String's performance which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed and which many of our guests commented favourably on.
As we discussed when booking, this is the second time you have provided music for us, the previous time around four years ago at The Gleneagles Hotel for our 40th Wedding Anniversary.
With our very best wishes to you and your fellow musicians."
