Elisha Violinist

Reviews:

Elisha is an absolute dream to work with, professional, classy and incredibly talented. From the very beginning, she brought such a calming presence and effortlessly supported us in coordinating the music, flow and structure for our surprise wedding and baby shower celebration. Our guests were absolutely enchanted by her performance, and her music added such a magical touch to the entire day. Elisha truly exceeded our expectations and helped create an atmosphere that was both elegant and emotional in all the right ways.

We're so grateful for her part in making our day unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Elisha!

Where do we even begin? Elisha was absolutely amazing! She played violin whilst our guests were arriving for the ceremony which was such a lovely and calming touch and played so beautifully as I was walking down the aisle making the moment so incredibly special. She also played violin for our first dance song and it was perfect! Not only did she play amazingly, she was so great to deal with and nothing was too hard or complicated! She went above and beyond for us. I honestly cannot recommend her enough and it was truly a privilege to have her as part of our special day. Thank you again Elisha - you are stunning and made our day so beyond special!!

You were amazing. It's mind blowing to think 30 years ago you played at my wedding and today you played at our daughter's wedding. The sounds that come from the violin makes everything so regal.

Having Elisha perform at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We've heard nothing but glowing compliments from our guests about how divine and amazing she was. Not only was she an absolute pleasure to work with, but she truly made the day unforgettable. From the classical music during the ceremony to the pop hits at our pre-reception, everything was perfectly executed and a huge hit!

We were absolutely blown away by Elisha’s incredible talent and professionalism. From the moment she began playing at our wedding ceremony, the atmosphere felt magical — her music added such elegance and emotion to the day. During our cocktail hour, Elisha created the perfect vibe, with every piece beautifully performed and perfectly suited to the moment. So many of our guests commented on how amazing she was! Not only is Elisha an exceptional violinist, but she was also a dream to work with — warm, accommodating, and truly passionate about what she does. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Elisha, for making our wedding unforgettable!

Elisha is a dream come true. We engaged her to be involved in our wedding based on hearing her beautiful playing at our wedding menu tasting and I’m so glad we did. I couldn’t imagine the day without her beautiful music. She put together a brilliant set list and has such a wide repertoire - everything from classics to Lord of the Rings! Booking Elisha was the second best decision we made on the day (behind saying I do). You will not regret booking her. She is perfect! Our guests also loved her.

Wow, where do I start. Elisha was amazing at my Business VIP event. I gave her a brief and she delivered. Every detail from her outfit to the songs/tone of the night even roaming and situated positions when performing, she listened and delivered with elegance. If you are looking at adding a touch of something unique to your event this is where I would start. Highly recommend and I will be using her again FOR SURE! 6 stars if I could!

I prefer to have a powerpoint available but all my equipment is also battery operated so it is not a necessity.

I can play outside however there are a few things to consider. The violin needs to be protected from the elements - rain and sun. All outdoor events require an undercover location and a back-up location to be available and used in the case of inclement weather.
Unfortunately my violin and equipment are not waterproof so I will require shelter if there is rain at your outdoor wedding. If its raining (or likely to rain) I will setup in the closest shelter possible, but if there is no shelter nearby, I will be unable to perform. Heat can also be a concern, so if it's an outdoor wedding over 35 degrees I will also require a well shaded area. 

Contact Elisha to discuss if you are concerned about the location and it's suitability for a violin.

Clients may request up to two specific songs outside of the provided repertoire. These
requests must be submitted at least two months in advance and will be accommodated
where feasible. A fee per song may apply, depending on the availability of backing
tracks, sheet music, or other necessary materials.

Soloist violinist performs alongside carefully curated backing tracks.

The following Terms & Conditions are in place to ensure everything runs smoothly and that your experience is seamless from booking through to your event.

Booking & Deposit
A non-refundable deposit of $300.00 is required to secure your booking. Dates will be held for a maximum of 7 days without receipt of the deposit. Your booking is only confirmed once the deposit has been received.

Payment

The remaining balance must be paid in full no later than 30 days prior to the event date. Payments are accepted via bank transfer (details provided on invoice). If the event is booked within 30 days of the performance date, full payment is required at the time of the booking.

If payment is not received by the due date, the Performer reserves the right to release the booking and retain the booking deposit, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Travel

Travel within a 20 km radius of the Melbourne GPO is included. For venues located beyond this radius, additional travel charges will apply including tolls. Parking fees will be charged where applicable, depending on the venue requirements.

Setup & Performance

A minimum of 60 minutes setup time is required before the performance.

Music is performed live on violin, accompanied by professionally produced backing tracks to create a full and immersive sound.

For outdoor performances, the Client must provide suitable cover or shelter to protect the Performer and equipment from weather conditions, including sun, heat, wind, or rain.

In cases of extreme heat (approximately 35°C or above) or direct sun exposure that may risk damage to the Performer’s instrument or equipment, the Performer reserves the right to relocate to a shaded or suitable area or adjust or cease the performance if required.

The Client is responsible for ensuring a safe and suitable performance space is provided, including adequate room for equipment setup and operation, with the area to be level, stable, and free from hazards, and with appropriate access for setup and pack-down.

Where possible, a space of approximately 2m x 2m is recommended to allow for equipment and performance comfort.

Where required, access to power must be available within a reasonable distance of the performance area.

The Performer generally performs two sets of thirty (30) minutes with a short five-minute break in between or sets of forty-five (45) minutes with a fifteen-minute break for bookings over one hour. These timings are a guide and may be adjusted in consultation with the Client to best suit the flow of the event. Breaks are kept minimal to ensure the music continues to create a seamless atmosphere, and suitable backing music will be played during any breaks.

If the event runs later than the scheduled start time, the performance time may be adjusted to remain within the originally agreed booking period, particularly where the Performer has other scheduled commitments on the day. The Performer will make reasonable efforts to accommodate timing adjustments where possible, however performance times will remain within the originally agreed booking period.

Attire will be formal unless otherwise requested.

Clients may request up to two specific songs outside of the provided repertoire. These requests must be submitted at least two months in advance and will be accommodated where feasible. A fee per song may apply, depending on the availability of backing tracks, sheet music, or other necessary materials.

Event Changes

Any changes to the event details, including date, time, or location, must be communicated in writing. Changes made within 30 days of the event may incur additional fees and are subject to availability.

Cancellations & Unforeseen Circumstances

Cancellations must be made in writing.

• More than 30 days prior: any payments made will be refunded, excluding the non-refundable booking deposit.

• 14-30 days prior: 50% of the total fee will be retained.

• Less than 14 days prior: the full fee will be retained.

• Rescheduling may be offered at the Performer’s discretion, subject to availability. A rebooking fee may apply to help cover time, preparation, and travel already undertaken, with any rescheduled date to be confirmed within 12 months of the original booking date.

• If the Performer must cancel due to illness, emergency, or extreme weather, all monies (including deposit) will be refunded in full.

• While this is highly unlikely, the Performer recommends that the Client prepares a backup playlist or recording of favourite pieces to ensure music is available should unforeseen circumstances prevent live performance.

• The Performer always carries professional backup equipment, including instruments and sound systems, to minimise the risk of disruption and to ensure the performance can continue wherever possible. In the unlikely event that unforeseen technical issues, power failure, or circumstances beyond the Performer’s reasonable control prevent or significantly impact the performance and cannot be resolved despite best efforts, any liability is limited to the return of fees paid for the affected portion of the service.

Recording & Media

Guests, photographers, and videographers are welcome to record the performance for personal use.

The Performer may use recordings or photographs for promotional purposes (e.g., website/social media).

If you prefer not to have your names/venue shared, please advise in writing.

Liability & Insurance

The Performer is fully responsible for their own equipment and conduct. The Performer is not liable for failure to perform due to circumstances beyond their control (e.g., illness, weather, accidents).

The Client is responsible for ensuring that guests and venue staff do not interfere with the Performer’s instruments or equipment. Any damage caused to instruments or equipment during the event may be the responsibility of the Client or venue.

The Performer’s liability is limited to the amount already paid by the Client.

Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia.

Acceptance of Terms
By proceeding with payment of the booking deposit, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
