A guide to booking

Hire Violinists / Fiddlers in Leeds, England, United Kingdom

Violinists in Leeds, England, United Kingdom cover a broad spectrum of styles for events across your area. 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 near you.

Choosing a Violin Player for Your Event

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 local 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.

Pricing for Violinists in Leeds

Rates for violin players in Leeds 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 £900+. 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.

Photo of Polina Polina "Polina was fantastic, catering to our music requests without issue, her talent is immense. Her music is beautiful, and she is a very personable individual, I would happily have Polina perform at any type of event." 19th August 2026 Mark G - Private Villa Photo of Orestis Violinist Orestis Violinist "I couldn’t recommend Orestis highly enough! After another musician unexpectedly cancelled just a few days before my planned marriage proposal, I found Orestis at very short notice – and looking back, I honestly couldn’t have wished for anyone better to accompany such an important moment in our lives. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend on Falassarna Beach at sunset, and everything needed to remain a complete surprise. From our very first conversation, communication with Orestis was excellent. Despite the short notice, he took the time to discuss every detail with me, helped coordinate the timing, and made sure everything would happen exactly as I had imagined. I was able to choose the songs in advance and we carefully planned when he should start playing so that my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect anything. He even has his own portable sound system that does not require a power connection, which made it possible to have beautiful live music directly on the beach. And then came the most important part: Orestis played the violin absolutely beautifully. Hearing Can’t Help Falling in Love while asking the woman I love to marry me, with the sun setting over Falassarna, was a moment neither my fiancée nor I will ever forget. ❤️ Everything was perfect – the music, the timing, the atmosphere and the coordination. My fiancée absolutely loved it, and our entire family was equally impressed. Apart from being an excellent musician, Orestis is also an incredibly kind, warm and genuine person. It was truly a pleasure having him there, and I am very grateful that he became part of such a special moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Orestis, for helping make our engagement unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional musician for a proposal, wedding or any other special occasion. Petro & Michelle ❤️🎻" 7th September 2026 Petro - Marriage Proposal Photo of Violin Viktor Violin Viktor "Viktor performed at our wedding and was absolutely outstanding. His playing created a beautiful atmosphere, and his professionalism and musicality were exceptional. We were very happy with his performance and would highly recommend him for any special event." 17th September 2026 Señorita Elizabeth - Private Wedding Photo of Anna Mat Anna Mat "We really enjoyed the wonderful variety of music performed by Anna! She played pop, jazz, rock, and classical music with such ease and a big smile on her face. Her backing tracks and sound setup worked perfectly, and she created such a fun and lively atmosphere for everyone. We all had a fantastic time and can't wait to see her perform again!" 19th September 2026 Klara Nazzal - Cocktail Party Photo of Sapphire Electric Trio Sapphire Electric Trio "We hired Azul Strings for our awards show in September and we really impressed with the group. We were looking for an act that would be high-energy and get our party started and they delivered. The booking process was simple and Naomi and the team were very collaborative. We look forward to working with Azul Strings in the future." 19th September 2026 Carlie H - Corporate Event Photo of Modal Duet Modal Duet "We hired Manos and Danai for our wedding ceremony as well as the post-ceremony drinks, couple entrance, wedding cake song and after party. We demanded a big variety of styles including cinematic, blues, pop and the great dj set that rocked our world! They jammed on it real time without knowing the repertoire in advance. Truly amazing! We highly recommend this amazing couple! Hope to meet you again some time! A big hug!" 25th September 2026 Pantelis - Eleftheria - Wedding (August 2026)
