Matthew Lim

A wedding day can use Matthew Lim three different ways. Before the ceremony he plays 30 minutes of quiet violin while guests find their seats, then covers the aisle walk, the signing and the exit. Cocktail hour brings 45 to 60 minutes of smooth, modern music on acoustic or electric violin. Later on, the electric violin comes out for a high-energy dance floor set, played over backing tracks or alongside your DJ. The repertoire takes in classical and crossover, cinematic pieces, worship, romantic ballads, R&B and soul, and current pop, and a piece with personal meaning can be arranged specially for you. Setting up takes him an hour before start time, using his own speakers and wireless system. Give him a dry, flat spot about 2 metres wide, a power point and parking close by. Melbourne-based, insured, and he travels up to 100 km.
