Hiring a solo musician

From our web site, it is very clear that our musicians mostly perform in groups of two, three and four players.  However, once in a while we send a solo musician. Most often it is for a very small wedding.  Last time we had a violinist perform at a wedding with a total of fifteen people.  Does is sound good? There is really no “correct” answer to that question.  It depends on your taste.  In this case, the bride herself was a classical musician and knew what to expect. For such occasion, there is also an option of playing along with a CD, which although not done often, does help with an overall sound and gives a better impression to the guests. It does not take a big effort to do so – all you need is a small CD player and an outlet.  The only issue is the limited repertoire for a single instrument with a CD accompaniment.  However, most of the standard wedding classical music IS available with a CD, and we can provide that with no problem.
