One plug socket .
One parking space.
One chair.
I provide my own amplification.
Address and where in the venue you would like me to perform.
N/A
I have a specialist violin microphone and AER amplifier designed for acoustic instruments which I use to boost my volume to suit the size of the venue.
The sound is very natural but amplification helps the sound to carry and fill the space.
I can play 100% acoustic if this is preferred or where there is no power available.
I enjoy playing all kinds of venues and events!
I have played at festivals to 1000s of people; have toured Germany, Italy and Belgium ; played in orchestras and jazz groups; supported bands such as Status Quo, Kirsty Macoll and Madness, but to be honest there’s nothing I love more than playing for the special moments in peoples’ lives, whether that be walking up the aisle, a proposal or even at a graveside for a family burial and remembrance.
I love all kinds of music from pop to classical, musicals & Disney and jazz.
In terms of violin inspiration, when I was 15 I saw Nigel Kennedy play live and met him after the concert…that was a big moment at the time and he really inspired me to become a professional violinist!
I also saw the jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli and got his autograph - another very inspiring moment!
I have been playing professionally since I was 16.
I first started out in a rockband with my brother and went on tour all around the UK and Europe!
I then started playing for all kinds of different musical groups such as string quartets, ceilidh bands, country bands, jazz groups and orchestras.
I now specialise in playing solo for weddings and I love helping couples to pick out their song choices and playing for their special day!
I love the moment when the doors to the ceremony room open and I start playing the music for the walk down the aisle!
I arrive 45 minutes before I am due to start playing to set up.
When playing for a civil ceremony I will usually play:
15 minutes as the guests are coming into the ceremony room
the entrance music for the Bridal Party
3 songs during the signing of documents
Exit music
For a church ceremony guests often arrive earlier so it is worth allowing for 30 minutes of music before the Bride arrives.
During drinks receptions/ wedding breakfasts I play a selection of music from my list of 200+ songs
Yes as long as it is dry and not too windy!
Ideally a plug socket is needed to allow some amplification which will help the sound travel, although it is possible for me to play acoustic without power.
Clients can choose anything from my extensive songlist and where ever possible I will also cater for special requests not already on the list.
A selection of comments from recent clients:
“Excellent. Emma was brilliant and made the ceremony and drinks reception beautiful with her music” Freya
“Absolutely amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better violinist” Rebecca O.
“Emma was truly fantastic at our event, all the guests were telling us it made the event even more special! “ Rob
“Emma was absolutely amazing at my daughters wedding on Saturday. Everything that we hoped for and more 5 stars for everything!” Karal
