The moments only a violin can truly express

With over 15 years of experience performing at weddings, private events, and luxury venues, I’ve seen firsthand how live violin music can turn a unique moment into something unforgettable.

Live wedding violin is more popular than ever. More and more couples are choosing this elegant musical format to make their special day truly unique. The violin adds a personal and deeply moving touch to your celebration. It doesn’t just impress on social media — it creates real, heartfelt memories for you and your guests.

A violin. A moment. A feeling you can’t replicate...

Live violin music has the power to transform an event — it can make a moment tender, elegant, or alive with energy. Let yourself step into the music, lose yourself in it, breathe with it, become the emotion the violin weaves: joy, nostalgia, tenderness, grandeur...

Ceremony

The entrance of the couple, the exchange of rings, the exit… Every note chosen by you or suggested by me, tailored to the style you want the violin to bring to your civil or religious ceremony.

Marriage proposal

One note. One heartbeat. One question that changes it all. As my violin begins to sing, the air shifts, your beloved turns, and the music carries your love — speaking straight to the heart, where words fall silent.

A carefully crafted, professional experience made with heart.

As a professional violinist based in Barcelona, I’ve trained with the finest classical music teachers. This is how I ensure a flawless live music experience. Here are a few reasons why so many couples have chosen me:
I am a professional violinist trained at the Gnesin Academy of Music in Moscow and at Musikene – the prestigious conservatory of the Basque Country, where I earned a master’s degree in musical performance. My foundation is classical, but my approach is modern, elegant, and adaptable.

Solid academic training

I have performed in symphony orchestras, high-end cruises (TUI, CMV, Nicko Cruises), luxury hotels, and weddings throughout Spain. I was part of “The Voice” show and have collaborated with major brands such as Caixabank, Vodafone, among others.

International experience in weddings and luxury events

From solo violin to a string quartet

I perform solo or alongside pianists, trios, and string quartets. Write to me and I will send videos of the available options.

Tailored repertoire and polished stage presence

From Vivaldi to Coldplay, from film scores to the latest hits, I create custom arrangements to give every moment of your wedding its perfect tone. I always arrive early, dressed elegantly, and fully prepared.

High-quality instruments, flawless sound

I play high-end acoustic and electric violins and carefully select every component: strings, rosin, and professional sound equipment. I invest generously in quality because the sound deserves it.
My work is not just about playing: it’s about understanding your vision, supporting you throughout the process, answering questions, and providing peace of mind. I will be by your side from the first conversation to the last note.

Personalized service, quick response, utmost professionalism

It was one of the best experiences we've ever had. He was punctual, attentive, impeccable in his attire, and needless to say, his music. He blew us away! The wedding wouldn't have been as emotional and beautiful without him. We loved it! And we hope to repeat it many times.

A true professional! Ian made our dream for the church entrance come true. He was part of a day we will never forget. There was so much magic between each song that it felt like we were in a movie. Everyone loved it, and people couldn’t stop talking about it… because a violin in a church on such a special day as our wedding moves everyone. Excellent value for money. 100% recommended.

He performed at our wedding last Saturday, adding an emotional and unique touch to our ceremony. Every time I watch the videos, I get emotional again, because they created a very special atmosphere. I would hire them a thousand times over. My guests were amazed and moved; it’s a feeling that can’t be described in words. Thank you, Ian and Sofía.
