Welcome

Welcome to Wedding Violin!

I offer beautiful violin or mandolin music for wedding ceremonies, private parties and other special events.

Since 1986, I have been performing as a solo musician for wedding ceremonies and other special events. I’m offering several packages that you may be interested in.

How it Works:

I require a signed contract returned via Email (you can take a picture of the signature page), and 50% payment via my Venmo account.  Once that is done, I will meet either in person or online with the bride and groom so that they may listen to some of the tunes I play and choose which ones they would like for the processional, recessional or any other part of the wedding ceremony.
