About Matthew On Strings – professional wedding violinist for hire in the UK and worldwide
2 reviews
Matthew On Strings is an incredibly talented violinist, who having graduated from Royal Northern College of Music has built an impressive career performing across the globe.
Matthew is more than happy to travel and performs regularly across the UK and Europe. He is the perfect choice for destination weddings in the South Of France, as he has a base there.
A life dedicated to the violin and being trained at the very highest level has given Matthew a huge range of diverse opportunities performing in various art forms, including performing on stage with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
He has led backing strings for mainstream pop artists on national television for the BBC, ITV and MTV including performances on Strictly Come Dancing, Eurovision Song Contest Final, XFactor and Songs of Praise.
I'm regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at The Monastery Manchester.

"From the initial enquiry through to our wedding Matthew’s service was excellent, he was so helpful and offered lots of advice and recommendations throughout the lead up to our wedding (not just on the music choices!). We can’t recommend Matthew enough - he set the perfect scene for our wedding ceremony."
