Absolutely perfect, everything we hoped for and made the day extra special.
Joanne is a superb violinist, she played exquisitely at my Mum’s funeral both at the church and the committal, she played with such eloquence. Thank you so much Joanne, we were all so moved by your performance .
Joanne performed at our wedding on the 7th September. She was fantastic, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a violinist for an event. Many people complemented us on the music played and it made our day extra special. Thank you, Joanne.
Joanne was very reliable, adaptable and contributed a lovely repertoire to our wedding ceremony! I would definitely recommend her to others.
Joanne was absolutely amazing and professional. She played beautifully and all our guest were commenting how fantastic she was! From the moment I booked her she was so fast at responding to all my emails. Thank you very much. Rhian
"Joanne was amazing , it was so speacial walking down the aisle to my favourite Romeo and Juliet with Joanne playing the piece . She was Incrediable and made that a memory I would never forget. She played whilst we signed our registra books and exiting the room. Honestly my guest couldn’t stop talking about how beautifull it was . I would highly recommend Joanne and thank you for making it so amazing just the best day. X jodie and Martin

Thank you so much for playing at mums 70th. She, and all her guests loved your music. The special song, Moon River, really meant a lot to her and Dad. The ABBA tunes made for a great knees-up. Thank you for all the personal touches.
Joanne played the perfect selection of music for my big day. The solo violin was perfect for our tiny ceremony room and added a real touch of class. The pop songs during the drinks were fantastic. Everyone agreed the music was really great. Thank you!
We think you are the best violinist in the world!
Thank you to Joanne for an excellent performance at my daughter's wedding. She played really beautifully and was very professional. We were also happy with the selection of classical, pop and Bollywood songs- something for everyone.
Between 0-4 hours
I have an amplifier - nothing more complex, and I do not have my own lighting.
Yes
Just enough space for my chair, a small side table and a music stand
I can source most backing tracks, but do have to add on a small fee for requests.
I take a break of about ten minutes every hour.
