Violinist for Wedding

He did an amazing job. He played the music that I wanted at our wedding ceremony. It was hard for me to pay attention to his playing when I was walking down the aisle, but when I was in the cry room, I was able to here and it was amazing.
I was able to book them within a month of my wedding because I didn’t know I had to have live music at our church. He had to travel an hour, it was pricey, but he was wonderful.

Bang for your buck

Our violinist was amazing. She was incredibly talented and created the most beautiful ambiance. Probably the best money I spent on anything for my small wedding. Thanks, Arco Music.

He received his Bachelor’s in Violin Performance from Louisiana State University and Master’s from Rice University. Mr. Ivanov serves as Assistant Principal Second Violinist of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.

We need about 7' x 6' space for set up, chairs (depending on the number of musicians hired), adequate lighting. For venues that seat more than 200 we suggest providing our musicians with amplification (microphones and speakers) for optimal audio projection.
