David Phung, Wedding Violinist
Overview
Modern Wedding Violinist 🎻
With over 17 years of experience playing the violin, my music will add a special touch and instantly elevate your event! I specialize in modern pop music covers, as well as contemporary love songs. However, I am open to learning all kinds of music, whether it’s for a wedding ceremony or simply a song you love! When I am not doing a gig, I continue to create music via busking on the street, which I’ve done since 2017.
I invite you to check out more of my music on my Instagram page at @davidmphung! I would love to be a part of your special day and am open to answering any questions that you have.

May 7, 2026Amazing violinist!
I booked David for my dad’s funeral, and he was absolutely amazing! During such a difficult and painful time for our family, his music brought us comfort, warmth, and something truly special that we will never forget. David is so talented, kind, and easy to work with from start to finish. His attire also reflected the dignity of the occasion, which we thought was very respectful and thoughtful of him. We are deeply grateful for the love and care he put into his performance and cannot recommend him enough! He is the kindest soul! 🤍

August 26, 2025Book David if you want the Best night
David was absolutely, unbelievably, incredible. He went above and beyond all night for our wedding, and it was clear from the very first note that his passion for music and performing shines through in everything he does. He has a natural ability to read the room and connect with the crowd, creating moments that felt both intimate and electric.
From the ceremony through to the reception, David’s talent set the perfect tone. He blended classical elegance with modern energy, and every guest was blown away by how much he elevated the atmosphere. People are still talking about how unique and unforgettable his performance was.
If you want someone who not only delivers exceptional musicianship but also pours his heart into making your event special, David is the one. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our night.
