Everything you need to know about my wedding Violin work...
Sarah has played for well over 100 weddings since 2014 and can genuinely say that
she has enjoyed every single one!
She feels incredibly lucky that she is able to be part of such emotional and personal moments with people she has really got to know over the planning process.
It is incredibly important to her that she keeps in contact with the bride and groom up to the wedding date to ensure that they are absolutely happy not only with the music she will be providing, but also to make sure they are confident, relaxed and comfortable with her part in their big day.
Even the finer details such as arrival time, parking, dress code and indoor/outdoor weather options are incredibly important, and she takes great care to ensure that these are discussed beforehand.
FREE CONSULTATION and MUSIC REQUESTS
Sarah offers a free video call consultation a few months before the wedding to discuss all these details, in order to make sure that everything runs as smoothly and calmly as possible on the day.
This is also a great time to organise the musical choices.
Sarah has an extensive repertoire (please see a small selection of audio samples below)
and this ever-growing song selection list is available upon request.
She is also more than happy to look at new pieces of music, so if you have a special song which is not currently on her list, she would be excited to look into learning it for you!
Wedding Violin Packages
Sarah offers four main packages for weddings,
but these are changeable, as no wedding is or should be the same.
These help to find a staring point, but Sarah is more than happy to work out how her music can complement your day in just the right places.
Package prices are available upon request, as Sarah will quote you personally based on the area of the wedding, the package you require and any alterations to them.

“We had the pleasure of Sarah's musical talents at our Civil Partnership.
She was wonderfully amicable regarding our "play list" which was eclectic to say the least.
She certainly can play!! We have no hesitation in recommending Sarah to anyone
who wanted that special musical moment to come alive."
-Lynn and Angie
“The first time we met Sarah was at the Hawth wedding fair and we were totally blown away by her amazing talent. We immediately booked her for our big day and went for the platinum package that she offers . We met her at our home and from the moment we spoke she kept us at ease through the whole process covering all bases. Her politeness and professionalism was second to none. She even personalised our wedding to suit our needs learning songs that she hadn’t provided in her extensive list of songs. She even sent us demos of what she had learnt and kept in touch with us constantly up to the day itself.
On the day she turned up in ample of time to set up and make sure everything was working as it should. The music she played before the ceremony was exactly what we discussed
and my entrance song went without any hitches.
All our guests thoroughly enjoyed her music she played and we had multiple compliments.
Sarah you totally made our day and would totally recommend you to anyone for weddings to parties. You have an amazing talent and we are so grateful to you."
-Michelle and Matt
“We were so lucky to have Sarah play at our wedding. From our first contact Sarah showed us how much she cared about making our day special ….and she did.
She went the extra mile learning new pieces of music and listening to us and embracing our ideas. She planned our day with precise timing and professionalism … and even though the weather posed us some problems she calmly dealt with the changes required.
She looked and sounded nothing other than perfect on our big day.
We would not hesitate to recommend her or indeed request her to be part of another celebration ….THANKS SARAH X”
-Sarah and Reg
“Sarah played at our wedding in 2016. We met with Sarah a few weeks before our wedding and discussed song choices. Sarah put us at ease and listened to our likes and more importantly our dislikes in music. Sarah welcomed our guests as they were waiting for me and rest of the bridal party to arrive. As I walked down the aisle, Sarah played Clair de Lune by Debussey.
It was perfect and gave the elegance that I was looking for. As my new husband and I descended the aisle, Sarah played Bob Dylan, Make Me Feel Your Love.
Sarah played an assortment of songs throughout the drinks reception, filling that difficult time whilst photos are being taken, entertaining our guests.
We had a large outdoor wedding and the violin could be heard all over the lawns.
We were delighted with Sarah and the effect her playing had on the atmosphere of our wedding day. Guests still comment on the music and the professionalism of Sarah.”
