VIOLINIST HIRE – VIOLINIST FOR WEDDING
The violinist I hired from London Strings delivered an exceptional performance. For our first dance we requested Perfect by Ed Sheeran and it was beautiful and made me cry! Thank you for all, you were so helpful and made our wedding day extra memorable! Highly recommend hiring for your wedding day! – (JACQUES P.)
As one of the world’s most beloved instruments, hiring a solo violin is a splendid choice for your event. Violin is a very popular choice for weddings, parties, proposals and any kind of event. With its beautiful unique sound, it will enchant both you and your guests! We have some of London’s most highly-trained and best violinists in our team and each performer will guarantee that you will have a perfect musical experience on your most important day.
Our violinists are based in London but are happy to travel for your event, including internationally.
Our violinists can perform solo or with backing tracks. You can also hire an electric violinist which is great for a modern vibe. We provide a PA system if you need, please mention this in your inquiry.
The experienced musicians at London Strings have performed extensively as soloists, chamber artists and with orchestras including the London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic and London Philharmonic, and in venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Barbican Centre, Southbank Centre, and Cadogan Hall.
For more information about whether a solo violinist, solo cellist, violin & cello duo, string quartet, string trio or other ensemble is right for you, please check out our post: Which ensemble should I hire for my event?
We look forward to working with you and making your special day memorable!

We booked London Strings to play at our wedding and they were amazing! Throughout the whole process leading up to the day, they were really accommodating and informative. They even played a custom song for our ceremony and coordinated with our officiant to accompany him throughout, which made the ceremony all the more beautiful. Our guests also loved the addition of a string trio, saying that it added even more joy to the day! Thank you so much, Ben and Amy
- Elena Newby
London strings played for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception after. We could not recommend them more highly. They learned a piece especially for my entrance and played so beautifully. They brought a real touch of magic to the day.

First of, thank you so much Lucy and Arda for the swift response/answering all my queries since day one and down to our big day. You have been so helpful and professional. Thank you so so much for accommodating us. Also, we would like to give our thanks to your duo (violist and cellist) for playing our songs before, during and after our ceremony. It was spot on, everyone loved it and got lots of compliments. All of our guests were moved(some to tears) of course including us whilst listening to them play. It made our wedding day extra special and memorable. Your team is amazing! I wish you and your team all the best! More clients to come. Thank you so so much and we appreciate it all. -Charmie and Joseph
