Solo violin is so romantic and is perfectly suited to classical, folk, pop, film & show melodies. It will sound wonderful in a church or castle; for a civil ceremony or even for an outdoor wedding. The solo violin works beautifully for classical, folk, religious and popular songs, film or show-tunes with strong melodies - for example 'When You Wish Upon A Star', 'A Whole New World' or even Green Day or ABBA!

Some of the most popular choices for ceremony music are Pachelbel's Canon in D, Can't Help Falling In Love, Ed Sheeran's Perfect and Tale As Old As Time from Beauty and The Beast.

Emma is a professional violinist based in Durham and has more than fifteen years experience of performing at many of the region's most prestigious wedding venues including Wynyard Hall, Lumley Castle, Matfen Hall, Beamish Hall, Headlam Hall, Healey Barn and many more.

For a fuller more upbeat sound a violin/ guitar duo is available for both ceremonies and receptions and can play a huge range of music ...

Emma and David were superb on our day. From the moment we first met them they were so professional, communication was superb and they answered any questions we had. They were flexible with the music we wanted playing and everyone we spoke to on the day said how much they enjoyed Emma and David's contribution. We couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you for sharing and contributing to our day.

I booked Violin for Weddings to play at my birthday party. We had 100 guests, many of whom were not familiar with Emma Fisk's music.

Easy to listen to, very enjoyable -...

"I have used Emma for a number of events including my mother in law's 70th last August. All our guests absolutely loved Emma and she was a great start to a fantastic evening. Emma is always so professional, prompt, smart and helps every event have such an elegant touch. I would definitely use Emma again in the future.
