Can you learn a custom song for our wedding?

Yes. Custom arrangements are one of the most requested parts of working with Tim. Whether it is a modern pop song, a film score, or something deeply personal to your relationship, Tim creates bespoke violin arrangements tailored to your day. Every performance is scored to the event, not pulled from a standard setlist.

Do you perform for both the ceremony and cocktail hour?

Yes. Tim performs across multiple parts of your wedding day, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and first dance. Each set is curated separately to match the tone and energy of that moment, from the quiet elegance of a processional to the warm ambiance of a cocktail reception.

How far in advance should we book a wedding violinist?

For luxury weddings in Southern California, booking 9 to 12 months in advance is strongly recommended, particularly for peak spring and fall dates. Popular venues and wedding weekends fill quickly. Reaching out early ensures your date is secured and allows ample time for custom arrangement planning.

Can you perform alongside a DJ or live band?

Absolutely. Tim works seamlessly with DJs, live bands, and full production teams. He coordinates directly with your other vendors ahead of the event so that transitions are smooth and the music feels like one cohesive experience from start to finish.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes. While Tim is based in Orange County and primarily serves Southern California, including Newport Beach, Malibu, Temecula, and Palm Springs, he is available for destination weddings nationwide and internationally. Travel arrangements are discussed during the inquiry process.

What styles of music can you play?

Tim performs across a wide range of styles, from classical and contemporary orchestral to modern pop, R&B, jazz, and cinematic arrangements. With over 20 years of training and 500 weddings performed, he brings the versatility to match any vision, whether you want Pachelbel for the processional or a violin arrangement of your favorite Ed Sheeran song for the first dance.

Repertoire

No two celebrations sound the same, and no two setlists should either. This repertoire is a starting point, a curated collection spanning classical, pop, jazz, soul, film, and beyond. Every performance is shaped around your story, your guests, and the moments that matter most. Don't see your song? I learn new music for every client.

Cultural & World Music

Music has always been a bridge across cultures, and honoring the diverse traditions that shape meaningful celebrations is central to how I approach every performance. I regularly perform selections inspired by global styles and collaborate on incorporating culturally significant music into weddings and events throughout Southern California and beyond. If you're envisioning a violin performance that reflects heritage, identity, or tradition, I'd love to make that part of your day.

Audio Samples.

These samples offer a glimpse into the range and versatility of a live performance. Every event receives a fully customized setlist built around your vision, not a standard playlist.
