Woodwind Musicians in EdinburghRates for violin players in Edinburgh 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.

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."
Mary Gristwood
"The Rock Ceilidh Band did a two piece ceilidh for my husband's 40th and they were just excellent. It was a daytime party with a small crowd in a village hall, and everyone loved their music, their easy approach to getting us dancing and how engaging they were with us. Really fantastic band, so pleased we booked them!"
The Quartet
"We just got married on Saturday and had the string duo play. The music was so beautifully played it really helped make the day so so special. Morag was lovely to deal with and even played some Harry Potter and game of thrones theme tune to get a little of our personalities into the ceremony. I would highly recommended anyone thinking of booking them ❤️ – Michelle McGuigan (Bride), The Corinthian Club, Glasgow, 6th October 2018."

Scarlett Strings - Violin + Singing
"Scarlett was incredible! Everything about our experience was perfect from the communication to her performance. She learnt a new song for our aisle song and it was beautiful. All our guests loved the music during the ceremony and drinks reception. It was lovely to have a performance that was so elegant yet personal, I would recommend her to everyone."
