*Travel-Time Fee
My performance fees include travel of up to 1 hour each way. For journeys requiring more than 1 hour of driving, a travel-time fee may apply to cover the additional time spent travelling to and from your wedding.
I’ll always confirm any additional travel costs with you before booking, so there are no surprises.
Recitals and studio session work
Fees for solo recitals, chamber music performances, and professional studio recording sessions are quoted separately on a bespoke, case-by-case basis. Whether you need an intimate concert programme, an ensemble collaborator, or expressive violin tracking for your project, please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements and receive a tailored quote.
How to secure your booking
A 20% deposit is required to confirm your date, after which a receipt is promptly issued. The remaining balance is payable prior to the event date via BACS. Contact me today to discuss your musical requirements and check date availability.
*Please note that I offer a 20% discount if your booking is at The Roman Baths or Pump Room
