Wedding Violinist
Overview
I play live solo violin music or live solo violin music with electronic accompaniment! Having live violin music at your wedding, cocktail hour, reception or special event brings a uniqueness and intimacy pre-recorded music just can't match. I have been playing at hundreds of events both as a solo violinist and in a string quartet. My experiences give me insight in working with brides and grooms to make the music on their special day just what they want!

April 25, 2021Can’t say enough good things!
Theresa is outstanding. Her violin skills are incredible, but what really sets her apart is her communication and planning. She asked all the right questions leading up to the event. Having her there playing music created an atmosphere that made my proposal even better than I could have ever imagined.
I would highly recommend Theresa to anyone looking to book a violinist for any type of event.

What to expect
Depending on what the bride and groom want, besides playing during the wedding, Theresa will start playing 30 minutes prior to the start of the wedding, so guests can enjoy beautiful violin music while waiting for the wedding to start. After the recessional, Theresa will also play until all guests have left the ceremony area.
About
Theresa has been playing weddings and other special event gigs since 1993. She has played hundreds of events throughout the years, both as a solo violin player and in a quartet. This experience gives Theresa insight in working with brides and grooms to make the music on their special day personal, unique and easy!
In order to make the wedding day run as smoothly as possible, Theresa likes to meet with the bride and groom to discuss the songs the bride and groom would like played on their big day. No clue what music you want played? No problem! From classical to pop to the oldies, Theresa will work with you to craft a song list for each stage of your wedding, from processional to recessional.
