Wedding Violinist in Toronto, from Ceremony to Last Dance
Alireza Firoozi plays live violin through every part of your wedding day: guest arrival, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, grand entrance, first dance and the party set, solo or alongside your DJ.
Live Violin for Your Wedding Day
A wedding day moves through very different moments, and the music should move with it. Alireza plays each part of the day as its own set: intimate for the ceremony, relaxed for cocktails, and full of energy once the dance floor opens.
With more than twenty years on professional stages, he reads the room, adjusts repertoire and tempo on the spot, and coordinates closely with your planner and DJ so every cue lands on time.
Couples choose acoustic violin, electric violin or both, and specific song requests are discussed when you book.
