Violin For Weddings Full Description

Emma is a professional violinist based in Durham and has more than fifteen years experience of performing at many of the region's most prestigious wedding venues including Wynyard Hall, Lumley Castle, Matfen Hall, Beamish Hall, Headlam Hall, Healey Barn, Runa Farm, Newton Hall, Le Petit Chateau, Hardwick Hall and many more. Solo violin is so romantic and is perfectly suited to classical, pop, Disney, film & TV themes and folk melodies. It will sound wonderful in a church or castle; in an intimate ceremony room or even for an outdoor wedding. Popular choices for the wedding ceremony are A Thousand Years, A Million Dreams, Pachelbel's Canon in D, A Whole New World from Aladdin, Perfect, All of Me and How Long Will I Love You plus many more to choose from. It is also a very practical choice as very little space is needed to set up and Emma can easily move from one room to another between ceremony and drinks reception/ wedding breakfast. Working as a solo musician also means I can give a quick answer on availability and confirmation of bookings! Violin for Weddings are available throughout the North East of England including venues in Newcastle, Northumberland, Durham, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire aswell as the Lake District and Scottish Borders. If you are planning your wedding further afield please do get in touch as I can also travel to other areas where my schedule allows!

Wow, what an amazing talent!
Wow, what an amazing talent! From our first initial contact, Emma was so lovely and helped with any questions or concerns we had. Nothing was too much of an ask for Emma, even to learning a bespoke song to be played whilst we walked down the aisle. Our guests all commented how good she was and would have loved to have listened to Emma play all day.It was such a pleasure to have Emma play such a beautiful part of our day and the memories will live with us forever. Thank you so much!

Thank you Emma you were amazing!
We wanted a violinist to play at our wedding in a very small local church as a surprise for our guests and we came across Emma and fell in love with her music and style and loved her song list! She was quick to respond to our enquiry and full of information to help us plan our ceremony with various song choices.I cannot recommend Emma enough to add something special to your wedding. All our guests loved her and thought she added something extra to our day. Thank you Emma you were amazing!

We had so many compliments about her music💕
I couldn’t recommend Emma enough. When we initially enquired Emma was so helpful and personable and had an extensive list of songs and was happy to answer my questions. On the day, she played guests into the ceremony, played during and as we left the ceremony and it all sounded so beautiful, Emma is an absolutely excellent violinist. We had so many compliments about her music and couldn’t recommend her enough for all weddings and events! Thanks so much!

A wonderful surprise for our guests!
Emma was absolutely fantastic. She messaged to find out all information needed for our special day. Played all songs that we asked for and added others that matched. It was a wonderful surprise for our guests. I would highly recommend Emma for your occasion.

It was perfect!
If you are considering booking Emma for your wedding we highly recommend you do!We booked Emma as we wanted a violinist to play a particular song special to us, not only could Emma do this and many other songs but she also sent us a video of her playing our song prior to booking to ensure we liked the version she played. It was perfect! The most important moment for us was when I walked down the aisle.The moment I heard our song I instantly felt emotional, hearing it played so beautifully!
