Question 1

Do you take music requests?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I'm happy to take special requests in advance and arrange songs for the violin. Most styles of music work well on the violin--please inquire.

Question 2

Do you provide music for wedding ceremonies or cocktail receptions?

Accepted Answer

I can provide music for your wedding ceremony, the cocktail hour, or both. I normally book one hour for ceremonies or two hours for ceremony+cocktail hour.

Question 3

How early do you come to set up?

Accepted Answer

If playing by myself, I only need about 10 minutes to set up. However, I am usually in place 20-30 minutes before my start time just to be safe! If playing with other musicians, I normally allow more time to set up and adjust the sound system and would arrive 45 minutes before my start time.

Question 4

What is your style?

Accepted Answer

I play a range of styles including classical music, pop songs, Celtic fiddle tunes, soundtracks, and more. All of those styles work for solo violin or with other musicians.

Question 5

What is your travel and break down fee?

Accepted Answer

My travel fee depends on the location of your venue, and can range from $25-150 depending on the travel time.

Question 6

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

I can either wear something colorful or all-black if desired. It also depends on how formal (or not!) your event is. For weddings I usually check with the couple to make sure I wear a color that harmonizes with their color scheme and does not draw attention away.
