Private events

A violinist for your private events

A milestone birthday, a dinner with friends, a proposal, a reception at home: live violin creates a mood no playlist can match.

Antoine adapts to your night, from mellow jazz to a full-on party. He can stroll among your guests or set up in a corner, depending on the space.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you play a song that isn’t in your repertoire?

Yes. Special requests are welcome: Antoine prepares a custom arrangement of your song. Ideally, ask a few weeks before the event.

Can you play outdoors?

Yes. For an outdoor ceremony or reception, plan a spot in the shade and sheltered from rain: the violin is sensitive to direct sun and humidity.

Do you perform with a DJ?

Yes. Live violin over a DJ set is one of the most popular formats for parties and galas: Antoine joins the event’s DJ or works with partner DJs.

Can you play for a surprise proposal?

Yes. You plan the place, the moment and the song together, and Antoine stays out of sight until your cue. Great at a restaurant, in a park or at home.

How much does a violinist cost for a private event?

It’s quoted individually, based on duration, location and the kind of evening. Share a few details in the form: response within 24 hours.

Do you provide sound equipment?

For small and mid-size ceremonies, cocktails and parties, Antoine can bring a compact sound system. In larger rooms he plugs into the venue’s or DJ’s system. We sort it out in the quote.

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings and summer Saturdays, ideally 6 to 12 months ahead. For other events a few weeks is often enough. Reach out even at the last minute.

Do you travel outside Montréal?

Yes: throughout Greater Montréal, Québec City, Ottawa–Gatineau and other regions of Quebec, such as the Laurentians, Lanaudière, Montérégie, the Eastern Townships, Mauricie and Charlevoix. Travel fees may apply depending on distance.
