Overview

I am Iryna, or Niagara Violin (formerly known as Calgary Violin), a classically trained violinist with Eastern European heritage. Growing up on stage as a performer, I've developed a strong musical foundation. With years of experience performing in various countries such as Belarus, Bahrain, Canada, and the USA, I've had the opportunity to showcase my talents as a violinist and singer in orchestras, bands, weddings, and churches. My musical style is diverse, encompassing classic, pop, rock, and more, with a newfound love for Bollywood music that's quickly becoming a significant part of my repertoire. I'd be honoured to be a part of your celebration.
Sincerely, Iryna Nijem

Highly recommend!

My wedding was everything I dreamt of, thanks to Iryna. From the moment the ceremony began, the music created such a beautiful, emotional atmosphere that made our day feel truly magical.

Her talent, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. She was so sweet and easy to work with, accommodating to our requests, and executed every song flawlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests about how elegant and moving her performance was!

Perfect Wedding Ambiance

We were so thrilled with Iryna's musical talents at our wedding. Her music created such a magical ambiance and added an elegant touch to our wedding celebrations (ceremony and cocktail hour). Many of our guests also shared how moved they were to take in Iryna's beautiful music, and even brought some guests to tears! We couldn't have asked for a better musician, and would highly recommend Iryna to anyone looking to make their special event even more unforgettable.

Exceeded Expectations

Iryna truly exceeded my expectations and took my sister's bridal shower to another level. When I was planning her bridal shower, I knew I wanted to hire a violinist, and I even reached out to several violinists, but most didn’t respond. Finding Iryna on Instagram was a huge relief; she got back to me promptly and was incredibly accommodating.

Since my sister's wedding is in Mexico and her favourite movie growing up was "The Little Mermaid," the theme was under the sea. I expressed to Iryna that I would appreciate it if she could play some music from the movie, other Disney songs, and, of course, some love songs. Iryna arrived in a gorgeous blue gown and truly looked like Ariel from the movie. She started playing "Part of Your World" when my sister came down, and everyone started crying. It was such a special moment, and Iryna continued to impress my guests with her talent. I cannot recommend Iryna enough; she will elevate any event to the next level!

Beautiful, professional, elevated our wedding!

Iryna is amazing! She was so easy to work with and so patient with us midst all the wedding chaos. She was by far our favorite vendor!
She learned more songs than expected, playing along to the liturgical songs for our wedding that wasn’t asked to do before!
She was a big part of why our wedding being so beautiful. She played beautifully as everyone walked down the aisle, dressed beautifully, and always has a smile on her face! She played alongside us for our first dance, and it just made it all more romantic. Many of our guests expressed how much they loved our violinist! I highly recommend her for your events!

Best Wedding Performance Ever

We had Iryna for our wedding back in May 2025 and she was absolutely BREATHTAKING!! She played a nice variety of songs our entire family knew. She got everyone’s attention and had everyone in Awe!! Just the sweetest person and did everything we wanted perfectly. I always recommend her to everyone I know. An absolute pleasure to have her at any event!
