International Wedding Violinist For Hire
Live Music for Wedding Ceremonies
With years of experience as one of the UK’s most in-demand wedding violinists, I’ve performed live at exclusive celebrity weddings, luxury venues, and VIP events across the UK, France, Italy, and beyond. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a grand destination celebration, my elegant live violin wedding music delivers heartfelt, in-the-moment performances that create unforgettable and touching memories.
My carefully curated set list features timeless, emotive favourites such as Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, along with bespoke arrangements of modern classics tailored to your special day.
I offer a range of performance options to suit your wedding style — from the intimacy of a solo violinist, either alone or accompanied by my pianist, to the grandeur of full orchestral arrangements with my Bloomsbury Orchestra.

client testimonials
“You were just phenomenal and for us, you were one of the best parts of the whole day. I’m welling up writing this email. The final song you played for just Ben and I was absolutely perfect. One of the most moving and inimate parts of the day, if not the most.
Thank you so much for being part of our day.”

“Matthew played for the ceremony of our wedding in Provence and he did so absolutely beautifully. All of our guests said what a treat it was to listen to him. My favourite moment of the wedding was coming down the aisle to Matthew’s violin version of Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah, which was a special request of mine. When I asked for the song, Matthew recorded two different versions for me to choose from. Not only is he an incredibly talented violinist but also a great guy - so accommodative and helpful and flexible. Couldn’t recommend him enough!”

Grand Piano SHell Hire
I offer the option to hire a grand piano shell, creating the illusion of a grand piano at your wedding—perfect for enhancing the aesthetics of your event, especially for photos and décor.
When booking my pianist, you can choose to add the baby grand piano shell. My pianist’s state-of-the-art keyboard fits seamlessly inside the shell, providing the look of a grand piano without the need for one.
The stylish baby grand piano shell complements any event space, making it the ideal solution for venues that don’t have a grand piano.
