Solo violinist for ceremony?

sharpe88

Hey guys,

Do you think a solo violinist would be enough for an outdoor ceremony? Or should we go with a duet or more?  Of course, I'm already reaching the upper limits of my budget....

thanks in advance!

ps. anyone know a violinist in the Toronto area?

I think it depends on the size of your venue, and the amount of people you are having.

For violinist's in your area, please try your local board. They can be found in the links to the left.

Hmm, probably 70 people at the ceremony. For cocktails, and reception it will be indoors and the acoustics will be better.

I would try going to the University of Toronto music department and posting something there.  They have great musicians and they are starving college students.

Violinists can attach little pickups to their violin so that it can be connected to an amp/speaker system.  That might work, and then one violin would be easy, as long as you can provide power to the speaker.

I have a few violinists I know, one I have hired for my wedding west of the GTA.  PM me if you want their info.

Also, you can check out Moods Music - they have a database of musicians and once you contact them with your needs they'll provide you with who you need.

It's a good company, and they also have a good list of music "inspiration" for different parts of your ceremony/
