Overview

Hi there! My name is Heather and love playing violin from my heart to celebrate holy matrimony during your wedding ceremony or proposal. I also play funeral services/burials to commemorate and honor your loved one who has passed. I utilize piano/guitar backing tracks and also if available, a live guitarist.

What to expect

For wedding ceremonies, I will play for approximately 20 minutes before the ceremony starts as guests are arriving.

Then I will play a song for the procession, pause, and play a song for the bride/groom as they walk down the aisle. I will then play a song once the couple is pronounced married, and I’ll play for another 10 minutes or so after that as guests are celebrating and leaving the ceremony service area.

I’m happy to play outdoors or indoors and I have minimal set up. I play a beautiful green electric violin that is amplified through a small Donner amp that has a nice warm reverb tone.

I utilize relaxed piano and/or guitar backing tracks, and if my husband is available, he will accompany me on guitar.

I typically set up seated slightly off to the side of the altar space.

I do not require any power outlets and can provide my own chair if need be.

About

I’m a violinist that plays straight from my heart to add that social something to your ceremony or event! I utilize backing tracks (either piano or guitar) to accompany me and if my husband is available, I’ll have him accompany on guitar. I play a beautiful green electric violin that has a lovely warm tone and reverberations.

I’m happy to play wedding ceremonies, engagements, funerals, or memorials.
