Hi, I'm Jessie 👋
Smiley
Focused
Friendly
I've had the pleasure of playing the violin at hundreds of weddings, and my playing has been described by the Guardian as 'Remarkable'!
Hello! I'm Jessie, and the violin is my big love in life. I'm lucky to be able to do what I'm passionate about as a career, and love that I get to meet new wonderful people every day. I have two beautiful children, and we are lucky enough to have a lovely garden where we spend a lot of our time playing, and I get to indulge in my other big love - growing flowers and vegetables! My career has taken me across the globe, but I'm a homebird at heart.

Perfect addition
Jessie was the perfect addition to the ceremony and to the drinks reception. Professional from start to finish with great repertoire! As a venue I will definitely be recommending to other couples!

Micro Elopement Wedding
Jessie was so professional and a dream to work with. She required no direction, just knew when to play. Venue was small and I worried about electric violin sounding overwhelming. Volume and sound was perfect. So glad we chose Jessie, who also kindly agreed to be one of our witnesses, along with Maja Tsolo our photographer (also excellent). Thoroughly recommend Jessie, excellent musician and an all round thoroughly nice person x

Wedding Violinist - Henley Town Hall - July 2023
Jessie performed at our wedding in Henley town hall in July 2023. We had requested a bespoke piece for the entrance and Jessie absolutely nailed it. All of the guests commented on how great she was, and the violin rendition of Don't Look Back in Anger was a fantastic way to leave the ceremony. Communication was always easy with Jessie and we would have no hesitation in recommending her services.
