Adding Violins to Your Event - From A DJs Persepctive

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of DJing with our violinists at a wedding reception. It was a really unique experience for me as a DJ since I rely on pre-recorded music. For the first dance and parent dances the violins played along adding to the feel of the room with live music. I was impressed with the skill they possess and the ability to play along with just about any song. In addition, I enjoyed mixing them in with the music. The end result was a truly one of a kind experience for the Bride, Groom and their guests.

When we kicked off the dance floor the violins were involved with the crowd and played along with the music. We would cue off of each other throughout the evening seamlessly from the mixed music I was playing. Featuring the violin from time to time throughout the night was a fun time for both the guests and for me. The violins and I shared the crowd’s enthusiasm for all of the styles of music I played.

The violins are a great addition to the atmosphere that a DJ provides. It was exciting and fun to hear how good they sound and involve them in the reception. While I believe a DJ is the best option for your entertainment at a wedding adding the violinists is a creative option that enhances it.

{Video} Violinists and DJs

So you may have heard that we have started to incorporate violins into our repertoire. For years now, live musicians have been working themselves into the DJ mix. First it was with bongos, then a more sophisticated drum section … so we had to push it even further.


Having a violin or violins at your event is much more intense then someone playing the bongos or drums. Well, at least they way we are doing it. You know us, we can’t just do things the easy way.


The way we are doing it is very, very creative. We went and found the BEST live, electric violin players. Then we had the best classical musicians help write songs specifically for us, as well as fine tune some things to go along with the songs the DJs will play. When you put those two things together with our DJs, you get a very cool vibe for both dinner and dancing. Imagine the possibilities! Imagine the look on your guests faces. They will talk about your reception for months.


We are going to be shooting more videos in the upcoming months to show you even more of what we are talking about, but for now, this video will give you a good idea of what we are doing.





For more information, please call Kelly. She can get you all of the information you need including packages and pricing.
