RATES: Please contact me or see the services page: when inquiring for weddings please provide names of wedding couple-both names, or the type of event, e.g.,  reception, corporate event, etc., include location, date and time of event, which you want-electric violin solo or with backtracks or violin/cello duo and length of time I/we are to play.
Based in Morgantown area - 26505. Travel fees/mileage applies to events performed outside the 26505-26508 area.
There is a flat fee for the wedding ceremony and weddings with reception. 

Fees for events other than weddings are by the hour.
.
My fees/rates are very competitive and are hundreds cheaper than the city musicians. An AI google search for professional, experienced musician at weddings will help you evaluate the costs of live music at events.
My consulting manager sets my rates.  
Live performances adds charm, authenticity and fits into any atmosphere. Unlike prerecorded music, the live violinist adjusts to your pace, your entrance and the flow of your ceremony.  If you want to walk slower, that's fine: faster?, that's fine too.  And if your are running a couple of minutes late, I simply add a charming piece to fill in the time that is between your bridesmaids and your entrance.  Versatility and emotion only possible with live musicians.

I am unable perform for free or "for exposure" for any event.  

Note:  Outside events from May (or mid April if weather allows) until the end of October.  

Now performing central/southern West Virginia-- in greater Morgantown, Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Weston, Summersville, the New River Gorge National Park area and White Sulpher Springs Greenbrier Resort, Shepherdstown,   as well as western Maryland in Cumberland, Frostburg, Deep Creek, McHenry, Oakland,  and SW Pennsylvania in Waynesburg, Washington PA, Uniontown, Latrobe, Farmington, and more, and performing in eastern Ohio in the Mid Ohio River Valley area.

"OMG. I walked into this old, beautiful Victorian mansion for a wedding, and heard violin music.  I honestly thought it was a recording.  Virginia was playing Bach, switched to some Beatles, Elvis, and then some '20's music. She is an incredible player and a lot of fun as well.  Thank you, Virginia, for your music.  It was a real treat."  Carol from Columbus, OH. Fall 2024
