"Just to say a massive thank you for playing for us at our wedding yesterday. The music was absolutely beautiful and you were the cherry on top of a very magical day."
- Grace and Shad
Your wedding or civil partnership ceremony is one of the greatest moments of your lives and it's such a joy for me to be a part of this special day. My performance is tailored specifically to your requirements and I'm highly experienced in playing for a wide variety of celebrations, welcoming LGBTQ+ communities and honouring all cultural, traditional and religious backgrounds. Everything that I play is completely from memory, removing the barrier of a music stand and creating a less formal, more personal atmosphere.
If you'd like me to play for your ceremony, from my repertoire you can choose a piece or song for your entrance, a couple for the register/marriage schedule signing (sometimes this can take a while!) one for your exit, and a compilation for your guests to enjoy pre/post-ceremony too. If you have a request that isn't listed in my repertoire, please feel free to ask and I would be delighted to arrange that for you. Unsure of what music to have? No problem! I can suggest some popular songs/pieces, or if you'd rather leave it up to me I'll make a suitable selection for you.
I'm available for your drinks reception too, and I am more than happy to play outside...
good old British weather permitting!
I'm extremely dedicated to providing you with a thoroughly individual service. I understand that choosing the right music for your wedding makes a huge difference and can feel a little overwhelming on top of everything else! When booking me though, you can relax knowing that every musical detail is taken care of, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your big day.
"Thank you so so much for today! Katie absolutely adored it and there was no chance she could ever say no as soon as that song came on!! Thank you for helping make today the best day of my life."

So...you're ready to pop the question!
What could be more romantic than surprising your beloved with a violinist playing 'your' song as you take their hand and ask them to share the rest of their life with you?
Whether that song is a piece from your cultural heritage or religious tradition, a favourite from a film or musical, in any style be it classical, pop, jazz or hip-hop, punk, funk or even heavy metal....I've got you covered!
I have serenaded couples at some marvellous (and some rather unconventional!) locations, from parks to hotel rooms, private homes to busy train stations, inside the walkway of Tower Bridge, on the London Eye...
and even in a supermarket!
Wherever you choose to propose, I'd love to play for you and help to create an unforgettable memory that will remain etched in both of your hearts forever.
If you are considering hiring a professional planner, 'The One Romance' are superb. I play at many of their amazing proposals and the attention to detail, creativity and care that they bring to each and every one is exceptional. And they're lovely people as well!
special SONG RECORDING
For an extra touch, choose to add a studio recording of your wedding music or proposal song to have as a wonderful memento from your day.
Or a custom made personalised song for a fun, heartfelt and completely original way to declare your everlasting love!
I can also send examples of how your wedding entrance music will sound, should you wish to time your arrival at the top of the aisle with a specific point in the song.
My white violin not only looks cool, it provides fantastic sound quality as well. Whether it's a relaxing, ambient chill out vibe or a more uptempo and energetic dance set, an electric show never fails to bring the wow factor and is a great choice for any event.
I also love to perform alongside DJs, and having the ability to play by ear I can improvise in any style.
I've performed at corporate events for clients including Arsenal FC, Morrisons, ITV, Cisco, the NHS and BBC, in iconic venues such as Kensington Palace and Shakespeare's Globe, as well as most of London's prestigious hotels from The Ritz to The Savoy, Claridges to The Dorchester. With a repertoire covering many genres, I can create a setlist to suit your function or award ceremony perfectly and provide the ambience to make it a success.
I also play for afternoon tea, cocktail and dinner parties, anniversary and retirement celebrations, festive / New Year's shindigs, and of course birthdays for both adults and children too. If you'd like some subtle background music at your evening soirée or for me to get everyone up dancing to pop classics, I'd love to entertain you and your guests and help to make it a 'do' to remember!
I offer a sensitive and empathic service for funerals, ensuring a respectful atmosphere at such a difficult time. Embracing all styles including culturally specific music, classical pieces, traditional hymns or songs that hold special significance, I can accommodate all religions, faiths and cultures with a musical tribute to honour and celebrate the life of your loved one.
"I wanted to say how grateful I am (we all are) to you for coming to play and giving the family such a wonderful time to be able to grieve and connect with their son in an amazing and beautiful way. Thank you for being so flexible, understanding, gentle and patient with us, and for everything you've done."
- Thomas
