About
I'm a solo violinist based in North Carolina, and Charlotte weddings are a regular part of my calendar. If you're looking for a wedding musician in Charlotte, my format is simple: one musician performing live over professionally produced backing tracks. You get the fullness of a complete arrangement with the footprint of a single performer, backed by five-star reviews across Google and WeddingWire.
Charlotte has the widest venue range in the state, and this format was built for range. In Myers Park, The Duke Mansion hosts weddings across 4.5 acres of gardens and porches just two miles from uptown. Settings like that are where one musician with a small setup fits beautifully: ceremony on the lawn, cocktail hour on the porch, no equipment caravan crossing the garden in between. Uptown hotel ballrooms and rooftop venues sit at the other end of the scale, and the same setup covers them. The backing tracks are professionally produced instrumentals mixed to carry a live lead violin, and I bring amplification that scales to the room. A typical Charlotte booking covers the full ceremony, from prelude music through the recessional, plus cocktail hour. Prelude music plays while guests arrive: your blend of classical standards, film themes, and current pop arranged for violin, sequenced to build toward the ceremony rather than shuffle. Processionals are chosen during planning and cued live on the day. After the recessional, the violin moves to cocktail hour and sits under the conversation: warm, present, never loud. If you want a live first dance or another featured moment at the reception, we plan it as a seated, stationary piece and build it into the timeline with your planner. Outdoor ceremonies run spring through fall in Charlotte, and the setup is built for them: self-contained power, wind screening for the amplification, and placement planned around sun lines and photo angles. If weather forces your venue's rain plan, the footprint is small enough to move indoors in minutes, not hours, so the decision can wait as late as your coordinator needs it to. Spring pollen, summer heat, and October light all factor into placement, and we talk through it during planning rather than solving it on the day. Charlotte is about a two and a half hour drive from my home base, and the drive is my responsibility to manage, never yours. Travel is quoted up front on your proposal as one number, never added later, so the full cost is clear before you commit. On the day, I arrive early and finish the sound check before guests are seated. I hold one event per day anywhere I play, so a confirmed date is exclusively yours. Repertoire is yours to shape, and the performance clips on this page are a fair preview of the range: the build of Golden Hour by JVKE as a processional, Pink Pony Club live at cocktail hour, and a bride's requested Theme from Jurassic Park for her walk down the aisle. That last one is the point. If the song that matters most to you isn't in my book yet, name it early and I'll arrange it for your date. That's often the piece guests remember. Spring and fall Saturdays in Charlotte book six to twelve months out, so an early inquiry keeps your first choice of date open. Planning is remote-friendly: one conversation by phone or video walks the day from prelude to last note. You receive a written music timeline your planner can run without me in the loop, with every piece named, every cue marked, and every position noted. Changes after that are an email. Most couples go from first message to signed contract inside a week, planning entirely by phone and email. Charlotte's corporate calendar books the same format steadily: client dinners, banking-industry galas, holiday parties, and private milestones all get ceremony-grade preparation. Invoicing runs under NC Violinist LLC, and a certificate of insurance is available for any venue that asks. For planners: one point of contact, self-contained power, a footprint smaller than a cocktail table, and a musician who has thought about your load-in question before you ask it. Recurring corporate dates in Charlotte follow a simple pattern: same setup, fresh set list, one invoice.
About
Charlotte weddings have a polish of their own: uptown skylines, Myers Park estates, rooftop cocktail hours. Live violin belongs in that picture. I perform as a solo violinist over professionally produced backing tracks, with one self-contained setup and amplification scaled to the space, for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and featured moments at the reception, all planned in one conversation. What guests hear is a full arrangement with a live lead. The tracks carry the harmony and rhythm parts, the violin carries the melody live on top, and the balance is set so conversation stays easy at cocktail hour while the processional reads clearly to the last row. Ballroom or garden, the sound is tuned to the room during sound check, never guessed from a spec sheet. Cocktail hour is its own set, not leftover ceremony music. I build it from your prelude choices plus the pieces you flag as favorites: current pop, film themes, jazz standards, classical, mixed so the energy lifts as the room fills. Couples often hand me three or four must-plays and let me shape the rest, and the written timeline shows every piece either way. On the day, I arrive early, sound-check before guests are seated, and cue each processional live with your coordinator, so the walk starts when the music does. Every processional is set to walking tempo and fitted to your actual aisle before the day. That preparation is invisible during the ceremony, which is exactly the point: guests hear music that fits the room and the moment, and nobody sees the work behind it. The simplest way to begin is a free date check, answered within a day. One planning conversation after that settles repertoire, timeline, and travel, and the music side of your Charlotte wedding is done. Peak-season Saturdays release quickly, so an early date check keeps your first choice within reach.
Planning
For garden ceremonies at Charlotte's estate venues, I set up to the side of the ceremony arch: the sound wraps the seating and your photographs stay clean. For uptown rooftops, plan on wind screening for the outdoor amplification. I bring it, but placement matters, so we'll talk through it.

Andreea was such pleasure to work with. She provided a list of songs she covered, but I wanted a Spanish song for our first dance. This song is so special to my husband and I. I provided the name of the song and Andreea learned the song and made it absolutely perfect.

She was absolutely amazing. We had to find a musician last minute and she was very flexible and helped choose songs and was very professional and helpful. 100% would recommend. When I came down the corridor to our wedding and heard her playing the violin with our hand picked songs for the aisle, I broke into tears. Never had a chance against the beauty that was her music! Great price as well, she was on time and cordial and bid us farewell before she left.

Andreea was amazing to work with and really professional. She made our ceremony extra special and all of our guests raved about the music. She is so talented and fun to work with. She even played Queen - Another one bites the dust for the guys to walk out to. Hiring Andreea for our ceremony music was one of the best decisions we made! Thank you!!!!
