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

£Low price
from£110GBP
££Average price
from£330GBP
£££High price
from£850GBP

Rates for violin players in New Forest begin at about £110 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 New Forest

5/5 from 1,248 reviews
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 Aoife - Wedding Photo of MayAlan Duo MayAlan Duo "Maya from the MayAlan Duo, spent time getting to know where each of our passions in music lay. From Madonna to Cinema Paradiso! From friendly, lively conversation about all sorts of things, it felt like we all together came up with music ideas that were very personal to us both. Just what you want on your wedding day! On the wedding day itself, the music was beautiful, their playing was superb. And they were totally professional. Our guests thought they were as talented and as likeable as we do." Based in Newport, England A & S - Private Wedding 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 Margaret Brookling Photo of The Misophone Collective The Misophone Collective "Oscar & the other members of The Misophone Colletive did such a wonderful job at our event! Communication was great leading up to it, and everything went perfectly the day of. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!" Based in Bristol, England Amanda - Retreat Photo of Miranda Juliet Miranda Juliet "Wonderful performance, curious and interesting concept. Well planned and organized. Congratulations!" Based in Bristol, England Edoardo - concert 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. From the very beginning, booking with you was so smooth and your communication was brilliant. You made sure everything was perfect for us, which made the whole process completely stress free. You truly made the day feel even more magical, and we’re so grateful for your talent, professionalism, and the care you put into every piece you played. Thank you again for everything, you were amazing! Love, Olivia & Elliot" Based in Epsom, England 22nd September 2026 Olivia C - Wedding Ceremony and Drinks Reception
