Rates for violin players in Wales 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.

CAVE - Special Events Violinist
"Jo played for us during the whole evening from our pre-dinner drinks reception, during our meal and afterwards. Her set was all carefully crafted together as a musical journey and given much thought. She has a great repertoire from classical right through to hit songs of modern artists. A journey in time and for us it brought back memories from our young and undergrad days. 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' got a huge round of applause. I really enjoyed the two ELO numbers she specially arranged for me, 'Sweet Talkin Woman' and 'Mr Blue Sky'. What a fantastic evening!"

"Dear Anne,
Thank you, once again, for organising a lovely group of players for me. Everyone was so nice to work with. Considering the amount of notes that we had to play last night - it was a fantastic job. The audience had a really good evening and there were many excellent comments. Thank you, for leading in your usual friendly and professional way. It's always a privilege to work with you. Please pass on my thanks to the players - I am looking forward to the B minor Mass after Christmas!
All the best.
Peter"

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."
Sensational Violin
"Roksana was absolutely phenomenal! I booked her for our engagement party. We came up with a playlist together a month before and as soon as she started playing everyone jaw's dropped! We will definitely book Roksana for our wedding day, she gave us such incredible evening!
Highly Recommended"
