Ensembles

Solo Violin

Ceremonies, intimate receptions, smaller venues

A single, elegant line — flexible, mobile and quietly commanding. Ideal for the ceremony itself and for moments where one beautiful voice is exactly right, from a processional to background music over drinks.

String Duo

Ceremonies and receptions wanting a fuller sound in a compact footprint

Two players (twin violins, or violin and cello) for richer harmony while staying easy to place in tighter spaces. A popular step up from solo for ceremonies and welcome drinks.

String Trio

Mid-size weddings and events, broad repertoire

Two violins and cello (or violin, viola and cello) — full, warm harmony and a wide repertoire, from classical favourites to arrangements of contemporary songs. A versatile choice that fills a room without a full quartet.

String Quartet

Weddings and corporate events wanting the classic full sound

The complete sound — two violins, viola and cello. The most versatile ensemble of all, at home with everything from Bach and Vivaldi to arrangements of pop, film and musical-theatre favourites. The standard for a statement ceremony or a polished corporate reception.

Pricing guide

Every event is quoted individually, because the right fee depends on the date, location, timings, ensemble size and any special repertoire.

Classically trained at the Peabody Institute (Johns Hopkins) and San Francisco Conservatory, Melissa has recorded and performed with Adele, Andrea Bocelli and on film scores including The Theory of Everything — the same standard, whatever the ensemble size.

Events start from £400

Most full wedding and corporate bookings — ceremony plus reception, larger ensembles — fall between £750 and £2,750+.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you perform?

Based in London, Melissa regularly plays weddings and events across London and the UK, and can travel further by arrangement.

Can you learn a special song?

Yes — a first dance, a processional, a favourite piece. Requests are welcome; just let us know in your enquiry.

How long do you play for?

Performance length is flexible and set to your schedule — a ceremony, drinks reception, wander-around sets, or a full afternoon. We'll shape it together.

Do you provide your own equipment?

The ensemble brings everything needed to perform acoustically. For larger or outdoor spaces, amplification can be arranged — let us know when you enquire.

How do we book?

Send an enquiry with your date, location and what you have in mind, and we'll come back with availability and a bespoke quote. Nothing is confirmed until agreed in writing.
