Live violin for the moments you'll never forget

When we were planning our Wedding, we were looking for a violinist to play and luckily we came across Joel. We were mesmerised how he built the tune by looping and the quality of his playing was outstanding. We were so pleased when he agreed to play at the Wedding and we were not disappointed. He played during the Wedding breakfast and noticed quite a few of the guests just watching him play. He provided the perfect backdrop to the meal and we will be forever grateful.

Could not have asked for anyone better to play at my Wedding, for the ceremony and reception, so so beautiful and had all my bridal party in tears with the song whilst walking down the aisle.
Thank you so much!

From day 1 Joel was responsive and accomodating. We requested a song to be composed for my walk down the aisle, i already loved his music, but hearing the song for the first time as i started walking gave me goosebumps! All the guests commented on how good the music was, thank you for being part of our day!

Joel Grainger was absolutely fantastic at our Wedding. He performed a beautiful violin rendition of “Clocks” as our aisle song, which created such an emotional and memorable atmosphere. Throughout the canapés, he played a selection of modern songs that were perfectly chosen and brilliantly performed, adding a stylish and relaxed vibe for our guests.
Joel was professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

We just had Joel at our Wedding at Danby Castle Barn and he was amazing. He was easy to book with good communication beforehand and prompt on the day,
He played while guests were arriving and entering for the ceremony and then moved out into the grounds, while we all had drinks and photos. The feedback from the guests was all positive, his skills and music choice really added a beautiful ambiance to the day.
I would highly recommend him to add something extra to your day.
Thank you Joel for making our day even more special.

Joel was one of the first vendors I booked to play at our Wedding in early May and I’m so glad I did!
He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, he played all of the songs we requested perfectly and created such an amazing atmosphere throughout the day. His live looping was incredibly impressive and added something really unique and special to the performance. Joel is so talented and professional, and so many of our guests commented on how brilliant he was. We were genuinely so happy with his performance and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Wedding violinist. Thanks again, Mr and Mrs Morris

I have been a fan of Joel’s musical performances, compositions and arrangements for around 15 years. When it came to planning our Wedding, there was absolutely no question of who we needed to perform. I couldn’t wait to walk down the aisle to his beautiful original composition. Joel set the tone for the entire day, from the intimate lake-side ceremony set, to the upbeat pop covers at our sunny courtyard reception, he was phenomenal. Joel helped to plan the song selections to match the flow of the day and he was prompt, professional and respectful. Guests still ask who the ‘amazing violinist was’ and although I would love to keep it as our secret, Joel deserves the recognition for his outstanding talent, creative flair and attention to detail.

We found Joel through a sponsored post he had shared and remember saying to each other “wow this is absolutely incredible, could you imagine if we had him play on our Wedding day”. Of course we made contact with Joel shortly after to enquire and we were so happy to have been able to book Joel to play on our special day.
The music shared on our Wedding day was an honour to listen to. A highlight for us was sitting at the table signing the marriage certificate and commenting on how beautiful Joel’s music was in that moment. Our entrance song was something Joel had learnt especially for that moment and hearing it brought so much emotion to the room. It was absolutely perfect Joel and we cannot thank you enough. Our guests were blown away with the how incredible Joel was and we are so thankful for the music shared with us. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Joel was absolutely amazing! From guest arrival to the ceremony and reception drinks, he created a magical and timeless atmosphere that perfectly suited our Wedding. His playing was both calming and joyful, setting the tone beautifully and adding an extra layer of elegance to every moment. Guests kept commenting on how wonderful and enchanting the music was, and it truly made the day feel even more special. Joel’s talent, professionalism, and warmth made him a fantastic part of our celebration.

Joel was absolutely fantastic and brought such a special touch to our Wedding. From the moment he started playing, the atmosphere transformed - elegant, emotional, and unforgettable. His talent is undeniable, and the music created such a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and reception.
He was also a pleasure to work with: professional, reliable, and so accommodating with our song requests. Many of our guests commented on how amazing he was, and it’s something that really stood out about the day. If you’re looking for a musician who will add warmth, class, and that extra spark of magic, I couldn’t recommend Joel highly enough.

Joel was the first supplier we booked once the Wedding date was set. He was so fantastic at the Wedding that my family are still talking about him! Incredibly professional, and a clearly talented musician. Would book again for other events in a heartbeat.

We got married a few days ago and Joel played the violin so beautifully for the ceremony and reception drinks.
When I was getting ready to walk down the aisle with my dad and I heard Joel playing it was just magical. He was super easy to get in touch with if we needed anything and very very helpful. I would recommend him to everyone, he was just fantastic. Thank you so, so much! Sarah and Adam x

Joel Grainger was exceptional at our Wedding. His live looping violin performance added a unique and captivating touch to both our ceremony and drinks reception. The music created an enchanting atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. His talent and professionalism truly enhanced our special day. Highly recommended!

I first saw Joel many years ago busking in Cambridge and have been a huge fan of his style of music/performance ever since. Recently, he performed at our Wedding, and we were absolutely blown away - as were our guests!
From my initial enquiry through to the day itself, Joel’s communication was prompt, clear, and professional. He is not only incredibly talented but also warm and approachable. We especially loved the wide selection of songs he offered - a great mix of modern and classic choices. Our ceremony was made even more special and memorable thanks to Joel’s performance. So many of our friends and family commented on how amazing he was! If I could give 10 stars I would, and I wholeheartedly recommend Joel to anyone. Joel, thank you again for playing such a meaningful part in our day. Your performance helped make it even more magical and unforgettable.

From the moment we saw clips of Joel playing Violin, we knew we wanted him for our big day. Joel was so lovely and made the effort to come all the way from York to our Wedding in Bicester! The music really added to our special day and everything about it was so beautiful. Thank you Joel!!!

I have to say Joel was the vendor I was most excited about when I booked him for my Wedding in May and he didn't disappoint. We have had multiple guests mention to us how amazing and talented he was, and how much they enjoyed listening to him play during the drinks reception. I don't think I will ever forget hearing the sound of him playing just before walking down the aisle, it is a special moment that will replay in my head for a very long time.
As others have said, the only regret I have is that I didn't have much time to listen to him myself on my Wedding day (due to being taken for photos etc), I wish I could have been a guest at my own Wedding. I just hope we get invited to another Wedding where Joel is playing!! Thank you so much for your amazing music, Joel. Harry & Lauren Done

Joel is incredibly talented and played beautifully at our Wedding. His style and the looping element is so unique and had all our guests talking. Even weeks later guests are still talking about how good he was. Joel was also very helpful and responsive in the lead up to the day. He was also able to arrange a specific song I wanted to walk down the aisle to which wasn’t on his set list. Booking Joel was one of the best decisions we made! Cannot recommend enough!

Joel added such an amazing touch to our Wedding, highly professional and responsive throughout the booking process, and was fantastic on the day. Every guest had positive feedback, and Joel added such a great vibe to both our Church service and the reception. We would highly recommend including Joel in your plans

It's hard to describe how good Joel is!! We booked him for our Wedding, and we are so pleased we did. Everyone loved the music, and it really made our ceremony and reception. On top of this, he is very professional, with great communication, we can not recommend enough!!

This man is just amazing. He made the whole Wedding atmosphere so much more magical. The guests loved him and having live music playing down the aisle was such an incredible moment. Would definitely recommend.
