Virginia Cox

Performance service is available for anyone
(lgbtq+ and multi-culturally friendly)
by required contractual agreement,
for any social event.
Bespoke music for any occasion.
I perform live, on-site at weddings and for the d'oeuvres hour of weddings, for formal receptions, engagements, proposals, elopements, special celebrations, milestone dinners, award ceremonies, cocktail parties, holiday parties, retreats, corporate events, special recognition gatherings, memorial services, galas, sip-n-paints, and more.
Fees and Rates for 2027
(all performances require a signed, binding, legal contract with required fees paid 6 weeks before an event).
No dates can be held without the contract and retainer fee.
No events are performed without prepayment for any reason.
The following services are for solo electric 5 string violin with electronic accompaniment. I provide my own Bose Sp1 Pro wireless speaker and all other necessary equipment, and arrive on-site approximately one hour before the scheduled performance time. There is no extra charge for cartage or set up and tear down.
ALL EVENTS require prepayment, 6-8 weeks before the scheduled performance date and require a signed legal agreement, and for weddings there is a nonrefundable retainer fee, with the balance of the fee due 8 weeks before the scheduled performance date. Dates cannot be held until the retainer fee is received and all services are "first come, first served."
If I do not receive a signed agreement and the required fee by the agreement deadline, I will not come to any location to perform for any event for anyone.
Note: When performing for any event, I need space enough to perform comfortably and to be in a space where your guests are not within about 6 feet of my speaker system and where temperatures are not above 90 or below 62. I cannot/do not perform outside in rain, sprinkles, cold weather outside or snow, as it will cause equipment malfunction, a wet bow will not grip a string, and it's difficult to press down steel strings when hands are cold and greatly affects the sound.
As a note: my electric 5 string violin was custom made for me and is of special design. No one, including children, should ever be touching or "trying" my instrument or the speaker system/setup. It is set to certain parameters with the electronics that are pleasing and appropriate for the situations.
TRAVEL FEE INFORMATION
I perform to 300 total miles from Morgantown, WV 26505
Travel fees are calculated as follows and added to the fees below
Use Suncrest Towne Center as starting location, 26505
1-50 round trip (total) miles = $1.00 per mile
50-99 round trip (total) miles = $1.50 per mile
100 -149 round trip (total) miles = $2.00 per mile
150-300 (150 miles one way) maximum total travel = $3.00 per mile
Performances over 150 miles one way, are by special arrangement: contact me with details and I will check my schedule.
Occasionally I have been asked to travel to perform in southernmost WV or other locations over 150 miles one way: the travel boosts that fee to near $2000....the time I spend driving 6-8 hours or more, I can be performing for one or two more events, hence the travel fee higher rate. If you are willing to pay that, I can check with my schedule, but that is what my manager has set.
For rural travel, 2 lane roads, country roads, and gravel/dirt roads there may be an uncharge in travel fees, depending on location and road conditions
Rates for resort areas are at the high end of the fees listed below..



Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail/Hors d'oeuvres hour
My wedding package is from $950-$1700* plus total mileage from 26505.
CONTACT ME FOR EXACT QUOTE
Travel fees - total (round trip) travel/mileage is calculated at the above rates and are an upcharge.
The wedding package is for thirty minutes of Prelude music, (that is
pre-ceremony music, as your guests arrive), for the formal ceremony music selections YOU choose, and 10 minutes after and moving to the wedding cocktail or hors d'oeuvres hour for one hour maximum or until I am told to stop playing.
You may make special requests for the music I perform for the actual ceremony. I can curate music from the different genres I play during the cocktail hour, and your guests will be entertained as you are away for photos.
This combo is usually 1.45-2 hours of performance.
More time after the cocktail hour is an upcharge of $250 per hour or partial hour.
For a Wedding Ceremony only, with an absolute maximum of 10 minutes after the recessional (march out) is $850 plus travel/mileage
*RESORT fee
NOTE:
I DO NOT and cannot accept complete "play lists" (a complete list of all songs you want for the entire wedding pre and post ceremony music, as many songs you like I may not have available, especially popular music. Much pop music from the last 20 years has lots of words and little "real" music and with the simple tune or melody and accompaniment only, sounds very vague, boring, and incomplete.)
I don't have access to the same music as your DJ.
Corporate (company) Events only not wedding related
My fee for performing such events is $550 for the first hour with each additional hour, or part thereof, at $250 plus travel/mileage from my home base.
I perform for a variety of corporate events such as dinners, award ceremonies, cocktail hours, conferences, retreats, seminars and more. A variety of music genres is performed and I visually survey the room for your guests reactions and perform music they enjoy.
I can play some certain "styles" of music by request as well, pending backing track availability.
A quick break is needed between hours when performing for several hours.
Other private or public non-wedding events
My fee for performing such non-wedding events is $500 for the first hour, or part thereof, with an add on of $250 each additional hour, with a minimum of one hour. Travel/Mileage rates apply for travel outside my home base, 26505.
I perform private celebrations such as proposals, engagement parties, milestone and birthday parties, wedding anniversaries, holiday parties, for fund raisers and galas etc. I will select and perform music of my choosing for the events, matching your genre interests.
