FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a wedding violinist cost?
Price depends on duration, which moments are covered (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), sound equipment, travel and custom arrangements. Wedding packages start at the price listed on the Weddings page.
What do you play during the ceremony?
A prelude as guests arrive, then a piece for the processional, the signing of the register and the recessional. You pick the pieces, or Antoine suggests a selection that fits the style of your wedding.
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.
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.
