Thank you for allowing me to play!
We asked Bethany Bracker to play for our wedding and she was amazing! Not only was her talents as a violinist great but also her professionalism and patience with us during our time with her.

Do you play outdoors?
Yes. However, you will need to provide complete shelter or alternate location in the case of precipitation. I will also not play outdoors in the case of extreme heat or cold due to possible damage to the violin. Also, please make sure the place where I will be standing is ant free!
Will there be travel charges?
Travel charges depend on mileage from my location in SE Portland
How will you be dressed?
Unless otherwise specified, I will be dressed in all black. Your event is very important to me and I strive to look professional at all times.
Do I need to provide anything for you?
You will need to provide adequate lighting if the venue is dark and an armless chair.
Do you have amplification or will it need to be provided?
I do not provide amplification, but most performances and weddings the sound of the violin carries well enough that it is not needed. If I will be playing over a large group of people while they are talking (for dinners, parties, receptions, etc.) you will need to provide sufficient amplification
What if I want a song that is not on your song list?
Just ask! The songs list is just an idea for where to start, it is not a complete list of everything I know and I am also willing to learn those special songs that you may want.
