Nadia the Violinist
Overview
Hi! I have been playing violin for most of my life and have a passion for music! I am an active first violinist in the Northwest Symphony Orchestra and we put on 5 concerts a year playing classical pieces.
I love learning popular, contemporary songs to play at weddings and events! I am always expanding my musical library to add new songs and show the versatility of the violin! I can add a classical or modern vibe to any event and take song requests to personalize your special day!

December 21, 2025Amazing Violinist and Great To Work With!
Nadia responded to all of our questions quickly and was super professional in all of our communication. And then, at the event, she set up her own equipment and went right to work without needing any prompting. She wore a lovely holiday dress for our daughter's Xmas wedding and played a wonderful assortment of songs that she and my daughter had discussed. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome!

Nadia was great to work with! I had specific songs I wanted played during my ceremony and she was very accommodating with finding the perfect instrumental tracks to make my vision come true! Nadia had quick and thorough communication during the entire process.

August 12, 2025Wedding violinist
We hired Nadia to be our violinist for our wedding ceremony & cocktail hour and she absolutely crushed it. She was very easy to work with from the beginning and even went above and beyond to learn songs that we requested that she had not played before. My husband and I couldn’t be there during cocktail hour since we had to take pictures but all the guests spoke highly of Nadia, how talented she was, and how much they enjoyed listening to her play. They absolutely loved her and we can’t thank her enough for being part of such an important day for us. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a professional and talented violinist! Thank you Nadia for making our special day even more special!

June 2, 2025Fantastic
She was great at communicating from the beginning (almost a year from our wedding date) offered to learn any song that she didn’t already know. She ended up learning a part of the devil went down to Georgia for my now husband to walk down the aisle to. Her performance was wondering and really made the ceremony!

October 31, 2024Terrific Experience
Nadia had a perfect song selection list that was exactly what we were looking for our wedding ceremony, private dance and reception. She played beautifully. She was very accommodating and learned how to play "Young and Beautiful". Our guests loved the magical touch she provided to our masquerade wedding. Her music made the night so much better. We highly recommend booking her for your special day!!!

What to expect
I will play popular songs to beautiful piano tracks which I play though my amp. I also have a pickup mic on my violin which I can plug into the amp to enhance the sound for larger events or outdoor ones. I have a list of songs I already know and am continuing to expand upon. If it is a special event, I will take song requests to perform at the event given enough time to prepare them. If a wedding, I can play a traditional classical pieces, Canon in D for example, during the ceremony. I am very flexible!
