Emily is an experienced violinist who has been accompanying celebrations with her music for years. She plays for weddings, parties, business gatherings, and funerals. Her repertoire includes everything from classical to pop music, and she will play with other musicians if desired. She will make your experience with her as easy as possible from choosing pieces to the time the pieces are performed. She will make your event run as smoothly and beautifully as possibly.
As the bride I hardly heard the music as my mind was focused on other things but we received many compliments on the beautiful music!
Thank you!
Could not be happier with how well she accommodated my requests. Her talent and experience was more than apparent.

At your event, I will bring what I need, find a good place to set up, and play either background music or music for your wedding. I will find you when I arrive so you know I have arrived, collect the payment, then set up. I would like to arrive at least a half hour early, but 45 minutes is preferred.
In preparation, I will send you a list of pieces in my repertoire, and from there, we can either communicate via phone, email, or meet in person. If you want a piece performed that is not on my list, I can always learn new pieces.
I have been playing violin for 14 years and at hired events for 10 years. I am experienced with Christian and Justice of the Peace weddings. I have a wide repertoire of wedding music, as well as holiday music. These pieces range from classical to pop to country. I can send you a list of music to choose from, and you can add what you like if it is not on my list. If I need to learn 3 new pieces, I usually require a higher rate (~$20 higher). I have worked with church musicians (for instance, if you have a wedding pianist or singer), and we will take care of the music for your event. I am a student at the University of St. Thomas, so I know other musicians if you would like other instrumentalists or singers. I provide everything I need (stand, music, etc.), so you do not need to worry.
Inquire about pay rate; I am flexible. If you want a violin duo, it is cheaper per violinist. I would like to get paid before the ceremony or event starts. I strive to play beautiful music and make your event run as smoothly as possible!
I usually do not need a microphone. If it is in a big church, then I might need a microphone.
