The Derbyshire Wedding Violinist - Solo Violinist

The Derbyshire wedding violinist is an experienced and versatile musician specialising in weddings, private parties, corporate events throughout Yorkshire and beyond.

He uses professionally recorded backing tracks and play a wide variety of music including classical, pop, show tunes, folk, Klezma and Bollywood.

The Derbyshire wedding violinist is also available as a duo with a young female violinist or with a pianist.

All the couples he has played for have said that having a violin play their special tune for the bride's entry, and having tunes they know and love while they are signing the register followed by a stirring piece for them and the guests to walk out to, has been a highlight of their wedding.

Wedding Ceremonies
For the ceremony, he will arrive 30 mins early to set up, and play for up to 30 mins while guests are arriving followed by a piece of music special to the bride as she walks up the isle.

He will play 1 or 2 songs while you are signing the register, followed by another wedding march or voluntary as the couple leave.

He can collaborate with other musicians if you require, such as a church organist.

Drinks Receptions/Wedding Breakfast

The Derbyshire wedding violinist can also play during drinks reception/photos, for up to 45 minutes, playing a selection of light tunes and then play for the sit down dinner, including a wide selection of music from my repertoire. He would play as guests start to arrive, then play 1 or two sets, finishing when desert/coffee is served.

Gulab Singh, , none (July 2018)

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!! We had the loveliest, most special day of our lives and we are so glad you were a part of it.

,

Can I begin by saying what a lovely player you really are! You made our day so elegant and classy :) I was very happy with your song choices throughout the meal, We love classical music. Everyone has said what a lovely touch it was to have you there. I hope you had a lovely day as did we.

,

Thank you so much for being a part of my special day. Your music made it so much more memorable and my frends are still talking about it.

,

He was perfect for us and did us a great job on our wedding day. He played the music that we required to suit our day and was such a nice person too. Many people commented how great he sounded and looked - we would definitely recommend him to anyone. The booking process was easy and follow up and communication was spot on, thank you.
