Acoustic Singer + Violin for Boston and New England Weddings

Acoustic Singer + Violin: a voice for the words you chose, and a violin for the moments too big for them. Your song, sung softly as you walk in. Then the violin lifts it, and nobody is looking anywhere but the aisle.

What Does the Violin Add?

The violin turns a beautiful song into a moment. It carries the melody without words, then weaves around the voice. That gives you three ways to play every moment:

  • Sung: the song you love, lyrics and all, for the walk down the aisle.
  • Instrumental: violin and guitar only, for a softer moment or a classical piece.
  • Both: a violin intro that builds into the full song. Goosebumps.

Picture "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley sung softly as you walk in, then the violin lifting "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay as you walk out married.

How Does It Work During the Ceremony?

We play right through your ceremony, choosing the right sound for each part.

Guests arrive to a guitar and violin prelude, and the nerves settle before a word is spoken. Then comes your processional, with the violin lifting as you walk, and your recessional, each with its own song.

You choose every song from our list, or ask for something special. Some moments sung, some on violin alone: your call, every time.

How Much Does a Singer and Violinist Cost?

Two musicians who turn your love songs into the moment everyone remembers, long after the last toast.

The Acoustic Singer + Violin starts from $850 in Boston and across New England. The price you see in the Package Builder is the price you pay.

Can a Guitar and Violin Duo Play Cocktails and Dinner?

Yes. For cocktail hour, acoustic guitar keeps it relaxed, the violin adds a touch of elegance, and guests can still talk.

Want a dance floor after dinner? The Two-Piece DJ Combo keeps the same feel going. One of us plays live through dinner, then hits the decks, and an electric violinist (or sax player) gets right out on the dance floor with your guests.

The Two-Piece DJ Combo starts from $3,400 for your five-hour reception.

You choose the singer you love in the Package Builder, and your Band Manager confirms your singer is available. We pair your singer with a violinist we play weddings with every weekend.

We're full-time and degree-qualified, many of us from Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, and some of us have performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

"A singer who plays guitar or piano, plus a violinist, create a beautiful blend of live vocals and strings. The addition of violin brings another layer of warmth and elegance to every song. Light amplification included."

COUPLES SAY GUITAR, VOICE AND VIOLIN ADDED THE MAGIC TO THEIR DAY

  • “Our guitar/vocals and violin duo were absolutely incredible! They played gorgeous jazz during the meal, ramped up the energy after dessert, and did a stunning performance of Tenerife Sea for our first dance. My only regret is not booking them sooner!”

Acoustic Singer + Violin: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a wedding singer and violinist cost?

The Acoustic Singer + Violin starts from $850 in Boston. Travel within about 18 miles of Boston is included. Ferries, accommodation and paid parking are extra when needed, and your Band Manager tells you up front. Add your reception music and the package discount comes off automatically.

Can the violin play on its own for some songs?

Yes. Any moment can be violin and guitar only, sung, or both. Just mark it on your song list. A violin-only prelude while guests settle in, then the voice for your walk down the aisle, is a lovely way to build the feeling as the ceremony begins.

Can you play classical music as well as pop?

Yes. The violin is perfect for classical pieces, and the singer covers modern love songs. Many couples mix both: a classical piece as guests arrive, then the song they love sung live for the aisle. Hearing a song you love with violin weaving through it is something special.

Do you bring a sound system?

Yes. We bring our own microphone and sound system for the singer, so there's nothing to rent. We need a power outlet within 10 feet. It sounds warm and clear, and your guests hear every word without it ever feeling loud.

Can the duo play outdoors?

Yes. Our instruments can't play in rain, cold or storms, so give us a covered spot and plan an indoor backup. A violin carries a long way outdoors, so the guests at the back hear every note. The singer still needs a power outlet within 10 feet for our sound system, and your Band Manager will check the spot with your venue before the day.

Can we add more musicians later?

Yes. Add a second singer and a double bass for the Acoustic Duo + Violin & Bass, or add a DJ combo for the reception. Your Band Manager can update your booking, so your music can grow as your plans do, and the feeling of your ceremony carries right through to the dance floor.

Can you play in a church?

Yes. A violin on a hymn, under a church roof, is a sound your guests carry home with them. We play as your guests arrive, violin and guitar settling the nerves, then your song sung as you walk in and the violin lifting as you walk out married. Any moment can be sung, played on violin alone, or both, hymns included.
