A violinist turns a dinner at home into an occasion. Hire a violinist for a private party in Singapore: a milestone birthday, an anniversary dinner, a housewarming, an engagement or a proposal, in your living room, a condo function room, a private dining room or a rooftop.
Price: a string duo or quartet usually costs SGD 800 to 2,500, and a string quartet for 1 to 2 hours usually costs SGD 1,200 to 2,500. A solo violinist is quoted for your date. See violinist prices in Singapore.
Birthdays
Surprise the birthday person with a live violin serenade as the cake comes out, then keep the music going through dinner. The violinist can play requests on the spot and move around the table, so every guest gets a moment. A 30 to 45 minute set suits a surprise; one to three hours suits a full dinner party.
Anniversary dinners
For an anniversary, pick the song from your wedding, or the one you first danced to. Send it early, so the violinist can prepare it. A restaurant or a private dining room suits an acoustic violin, with no sound system needed.
Proposals
A proposal needs one perfect song at one perfect moment. Tell us the place, the time and the song. Agree a signal, so the music starts exactly when you are ready, and plan a few more songs for after the yes. Check with the venue first that live music is allowed at that spot and time.
Housewarmings and family celebrations
For a housewarming or a family gathering, a mix of pop covers, classical pieces, Chinese melodies or Malay and Indian tunes suits guests of every age. For a bigger sound, add a cellist or a pianist: see the string duo and trio.
Space and sound at home
An acoustic violinist needs only a small clear corner and a chair nearby. No sound system is needed indoors. For a rooftop or a garden party, the violin is amplified with a small amplifier. If parking at your condo is tight, tell us, so the violinist can plan the arrival.
What to send
Send the date, the place, the number of guests, the moment you want music for and any songs. Ask on WhatsApp or through the quote form. For timing and songs, read the guide to hiring a violinist.
