Christine did an amazing job at our daughter’s wedding and cocktail hour. She worked well with the bride and groom and offered suggestions that were great with the music they wanted played. It was nice that during cocktail hour, she walked around while playing. It was a good touch. Highly recommend.
Christine is a consummate Violinist! Excellent. Professional. Friendly. Reasonable pricing. Very long playlist of songs that she is very skilled at playing. Christine and her accompanying guitarist were the perfect start to my daughter's reception, playing during the cocktail hour. Beautiful. Their music helped create such a lovely romantic experience. Highly recommend Christine if you're looking for an accomplished professional violinist!
Christine was fantastic to work with, and helped us create a great balance of music for the prelude and ceremony of our wedding. With her guitarist friend, the cocktail hour was a hit amongst our guests, and she made it fun for all, especially involving our young flower girls and ring bearer. Would highly recommend Christine, she is highly experienced, very professional, and fantastic musician!
Christine Robinson was our featured violinist who played live just before my daughter and I walked down the aisle. Her fiancé was in tears and many giggled because he was so emotional. But her playing was the “icing on the cake” and created such a dream atmosphere. We cannot recommend her enough.
Christine is a true professional. She was so knowledgeable and willing to make any song work for our ceremony. Our guests raved about her performance all night, and still now six weeks later! I would recommend Christine to anyone for any special event because she will make your dreams come true!
So talented and easy to work with! Made our ceremony and cocktail hour so beautiful. Highly recommend Christine for any music needs!
The perfect touch to our day! Christine was easy to work with and gave us many options!
Christine was great! During the runup to the wedding, she was responsive, reasonably priced and took the time play a selection of songs for my bride to ensure that she was happy with what Christine was going to play. At the wedding itself, she showed up on time and played beautifully. Our only regret is that we didn't actually get much of a chance to hear her play!
Christine was the perfect addition to our small unorthodox wedding. From the consultation, she listened and asked questions to help understand the vision. She added in some recommendations and suggestions. She set the mood during the prelude and ceremony, and afterwards she felt all the attendees feel joy from the grandparents to the one year old. We were so happy to have Christine with us to play for our wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone due to her communication, expertise, value, and passion for playing the violin.
Christine made the entire process of choosing music for our ceremony and cocktail hour very easy! I had an initial call with Christine to discuss my taste in music. We then had a more in depth phone call (she also offered this meeting in person) where she played songs for me for all different parts of the ceremony. I did not have any idea of what I wanted and she did a great job guiding me through popular songs and this made it very easy for me to choose what I wanted. Christine did an amazing job on the day of the wedding and everything was perfect! She truly made our ceremony feel magical and provided great background music during the cocktail hour. Christine is an amazing violinist and I would recommend her to anyone!
Christine was so wonderful to work with! She welcomed us into her home to play for us so we could decide if we'd would be a good fit. A couple weeks before the wedding she called me to play some songs so we could decide which songs we wanted for each entrance/part of the ceremony. Christine plays so beautifully on the violin and we recommend her to any brides with upcoming weddings. If you're unsure about hiring a violinist for the ceremony....DO IT! I promise you won't regret it, it made for such an incredible, beautiful ceremony.
Christine was the most special and amazing vendor to work with! She was communicative, professional, so joyous, and needless to say the best violinist. Our guests absolutely enjoyed hearing her play for our October 2023 ceremony and cocktail hour. Such a lovely and delightful woman with a huge heart for what she does!
Christine brought a super special touch to our ceremony! I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but she was able to walk me though song choices and find what best worked for us. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!
My husband reached out to Christine a few weeks before our microwedding based on the endorsement of our agreed-on officiant and we couldn’t be happier about our choice. Christine was super responsive and scheduled a meeting for the next week. During that meeting she played for us (and enchanted my cats) giving us samples of what she could play. Christine is so so special. She plays from memory, which is amazing because she was able to move outside with the guests when they exited and continue to play. My guests absolutely loved her and she had me (and my friends) singing in the bridal suite. She gets my highest recommendation and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
Christine was wonderful. She made the process stress free and helped us pick a great set of songs for our ceremony. The live music was a beautiful touch!
She provided beautiful music and was extremely kind in helping us create the perfect soundtrack for our ceremony.
Christine played our wedding on 5/6/23. She was perfect. She brought an element to our wedding that we would not have had with a DJ. Every guest said that she was the reason that caused them to get choked up when my wife walked down the aisle. She added so much to our ceremony that made the day that much more special. Thank you for everything.
Christine was a joy to work with! She made our ceremony so special. She took the time to go through each part of the ceremony a couple of months prior to make sure everything would be perfect. She is amazing at what she does and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to make their ceremony extra special.
Just what we needed for our small intimate wedding. Would recommend for any event. She played beautifully.
Christine is a beautiful violin player. You can tell that she really loves her craft and has a wide variety of songs to choose from. She played different options over the phone for me to make it easier to make our selections. She brought the elegance I was looking for to our special day.
Christine Robinson brought so much elegance to our wedding ceremony on June 18, 2022 with her beautiful violin music. She set the tone for a most remarkable and unforgettable experience for me and my husband and our guests. She also entertained our guests during “Social Hour” with a variety of musical selections while we took pictures. Christine is very sociable and inviting. Everyone loved her!
Christine is amazing, everybody loved her.
She played the violin perfectly. Lots of experience!! 💕
You won’t regret to hired her.
My husband and I hired Christine to play the violin at our wedding. It is very rare to come across someone not only so talented, but also as genuine, patient and kind as Christine.
Christine was willing to meet with us on phone and zoom calls several times before the wedding to do the song selections. She even went as far as playing song samples on the violin for us during the calls, so that we could make the selections. My husband and I were invited by her to attend a gig that she had, so that we could chat in person and hear some of her music.
Christine went above and beyond our expectations, and gave recommendations for minor details of the ceremony that I otherwise wouldn't have thought of. She even went as far as trying out some modern pop music (we had some specific songs in mind that are near and dear to us) that is typically not played at weddings.
It also helped that Christine is so experienced and well known at the venues in the area. Our venue event coordinator knew Christine very well, and it helped with the coordination to go very smoothly.
It was especially kind of Christine to play some music for my one year old nephew who was having a crying tantrum during the cocktail hour. Her beautiful music miraculously calmed him down in an instant.
If you are having a wedding or event in the Charlotte area, then look no further and hire Christine! She has the best prices in the area, her work is truly of high quality, and she is a consummate professional.
Christine helped make our ceremony and cocktail hour so specially with her music. She offered suggestions for songs, and is able to play without sheet music so the songs can be tailored specifically to our ceremony. I was so excited to get to my husband I walked fast, but her melody kept up with my pace 💕 I wish I could have enjoyed more of her music, but our guests had so much fun!
First off I don’t have enough room to write what I need to write. Other than you won’t be disappointed booking her. Christine is wonderful. Her music moved us to tears. She worked with my daughter to find the perfect music for her ceremony. She is wonderful to work with and quick to respond. She will work with you to find the style music you want and give suggestions. I would use her again for any live music in the future.
Christine played at our wedding with such love and attention. She was so helpful in selecting the music we wanted and her website is awesome for sample music. She followed up with me and even played tunes while on the phone when making the final decisions. Honestly, Christine played so beautifully it was as if the music flowed from her fingertips! Our guest complimented on the beautiful violin music, she has so much talent! I highly recommend her for any event!
Christine was amazing! She was super knowledgeable, professional and flexible to work with! We got lots of compliments on having her play at our ceremony and our cocktail hour!
We booked Christine for our daughter's wedding. She was easy to work with and her music is beautiful. Highly recommend!
Christine was absolutely a wonderful part of our wedding ceremony! She is talented and very professional. She spends a lot of time with you to ensure you have chosen the perfect songs to make your wedding exactly how you imagined it.
We hired Christine for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was very professional and accommodating, and she made sure everything was planned out and ready to go ahead of time. The music was beautiful and guests really enjoyed it. She even stayed longer than we originally discussed and had traveled quite far to get to the venue. She truly went above and beyond and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!
Wonderful, professional, extremely talented and so easy to work with. Christine is amazing!
Christine performed at my wedding nearly 20 years ago and added the graceful touch I was looking for. When I recently ran into her at a friend's wedding, I immediately recognized her and said hello. After all these years, she is still a remarkable talent for any wedding venue. Her skill and professionalism are top-notch. I remember discussing possible music before our wedding date and being guided by her experience as well as her willingness to add in personal selections that may not have been as well known. She performed at my service as well as the reception. When I saw that she was still helping brides and others with their big day, I was delighted to share our experience. We didn't have The Knot website back then, but she has always been 5-star!
Christine was so great! My mom was adamant about having a live violinist to play for my ceremony, and I’m so happy I was connected with Christine! She is very easy to work with and very knowledgeable in making suggestions for music and the ceremony. She even coordinated her outfit to match my wedding colors! If you’re in need of a violinist, hire Christine!
Christine is amazing-not only is her music beautiful but she is very personable. I went to her house and she played the violin for me so I could pick all the songs I wanted played at my March 2021 wedding. Highly recommend.
We are so happy that we went with Christine for our wedding! She is passionate about playing and it comes through her music. She took time to really discuss what we wanted and even played samples over the phone due to Covid to ensure we were getting the ceremony music we wanted. She added something special to our ceremony.
Christine is amazing! She made sure we had the most elegant ceremony and gave great advice about ceremony logistics and song options. Our family and friends could not stop raving about her. I also appreciated how she met with me a few times before to help ease my stress.
Christine was absolutely wonderful, she is very professional and wiling to accommodate your wishes. Very glad we used her for our special day.
Gracefully present!
We hired Christine for our wedding in March and a few weeks before the wedding, we spent an hour on the phone going over what music to play and she played every song for me so I could make sure it’s the one I wanted. There was a lot going on that day, and unfortunately I missed the cocktail hour where I was especially excited to listen to her. Christine proactively personally met me with my sister behind the scenes so she could play just for me. It was so awesome and a special moment. Highly recommend! It’s an experience, not just a hire.
Lots of guests noticed the music and loved it. I would love to hire her again if I have a social gathering that needs music.
Christine's violin music was the perfect choice for our outdoor wedding ceremony! She was very professional and easy to work with as well! Her music was beautiful and the violin added an intimate and special touch to our event! Thanks so much, Christine!
5-Stars! Would definitely recommend to friends and family at any future events. Very thankful for her instrumental talent at such an important milestone in my life. Thank you 1000 times :)
We hired Christine to play violin during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Needless to say, she was absolutely wonderful! Christine is a true professional with over 40 years of experience playing the violin - and it shows! From planning out the songs for our ceremony through to the day-of, Christine was always friendly and responsive. Day-of, she wowed our guests with her talent and made our ceremony unforgettable. Her interaction with guests during cocktail hour was marvelous. When our 1.5 year old ring bearer was fascinated by her violin, she got down to his level to interact. If you want an experienced and friendly professional to provide music for your wedding, Christine is the way to go! Thank you Christine!
Christine was wonderful! She had great ideas and was really open to the tone we wanted. She plays beautifully and I would definitely recommend her services. Thank you Christine!
Christine was wonderful and added something so special to our ceremony. She is extremely talented and very easy to work with. She is absolutely perfect for any wedding ceremony to make it elegant and special.
Christine Is an amazing talent. During this whole process she was more than accommodating, not to mention a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She made our wedding so special.
Christine was amazing!! I am so happy that I found her to play on my wedding day! She was so kind and so patient. We went through songs together, she played me different songs to better inform my decision about what I wanted and she did an excellent performance on my big day! I highly recommend Christine!
Christine is a beautiful person inside and out. She gives wonderful suggestions and listens. Every person at my wedding spoke nothing but nice comments of the wedding music she played for our ceremony. She was always cue and wore a beautiful gown that matched my wedding colors without having to ask. Christine Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world.
Christine helped make people not just talk about the reception but also about the ceremony. We have had numerous guests tell us that the music during the ceremony was the best they've heard! Throughout the process Christine was great in helping my fiance and I pick out each song and gave suggestions to what songs flow best in each part.
Christine was great for our wedding ceremony! She was very professional and accommodating and her music is lovely! Highly recommend to add a special touch for your big day!!

A Class Act
If you've been considering a musician for your wedding, go ahead and reach out to Christine. You won't be disappointed! I had initially hesitated to inquire about having a violinist perform during our ceremony assuming it would be too expensive. I think you'd find it pleasantly affordable and it's so very worth it! Christine has been very responsive from the very beginning, with quick phone call and text replies. We spoke a few times months ahead of the wedding when we booked her, and again a couple weeks before so we could go over music selection. She has great suggestions and will play songs for you to sample as you make your decisions.
Christine is a true professional and you will be so lucky to have her perform at your wedding. It's quite possible she knows every song ever written and she performs entirely without sheet music. She's able to time her songs well to accommodate the length needed (ie: more or less time for bridesmaids walking down aisle or unity ceremony) and worked with me to learn how long my walk as the bride would take so she could be sure to adjust the timing of my song so the 'prettiest' part was playing when I reached the the crowd and groom.
Thank you Christine for setting an elegant, romantic tone to the start of our day!
Christine is a wonderful violinist whom I’m so please with for my wedding. She has had years of experience and could quickly play any song I asked of her. She adapted easily to changes in my wedding and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for entertainment in a wedding or for any other occasion.
We hired Christine to perform at our wedding ceremony on May 19, 2019 and we are very happy to have found her. She is so talented! She plays beautifully and can really make you feel the music. We highly recommend her!
Christine was absolutely amazing! She was very affordable, punctual, professional, and I would highly recommend her to any bride !
Christine played violin during our wedding ceremony and did an absolutely phenomenal job. I was not really sure what type of music we wanted during the ceremony, so Christine played me all sorts of options over the phone to help make a decision. On the day of, I got chills just listening to her play. She transformed the ambiance into something out of a fairytale! I love that she can play traditional hymns and classical songs, as well as new contemporary hits, too. I highly recommend using Christine as your wedding violinist.
Christine played at my wedding and was PHENOMENAL! Very professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She responded to my inquiry immediately, offering a wide selection of music to play. After booking her for my wedding, we arranged a time to meet so we could go through what songs I wanted played. She went above and beyond to play a special song that I requested to walk down the aisle to. She also sent me a text about 2 weeks before to check-in and make sure all the plans and music selections remained the same, which I really appreciated since I was so busy with last minute details. I highly recommend Christine, she has amazing talent and plays flawlessly. She made our special day extra special!
Christine was so flexible when our minister arrived later than expected! The guests didn’t even notice and enjoyed listening to her play while waiting for the ceremony to begin. She was also very helpful in helping me make selections that worked for our garden wedding, and also accommodating on special requests! She took the time to plan ahead with me so that the day of our wedding felt very coordinated and set the tone for the whole ceremony. Thank you!!!
Christine was absolutely the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony! She was very quick to respond to my inquiries and a pleasure to work with. She helped guide me through music/song selections and even played her violin for me over the phone. Christine has tons of experience and did not need to look at sheet music in order to play. This was VERY important for our ceremony as she was able to watch what was happening (rather than staring down at sheet music) in order to tailor the music to how quickly or slowly people were walking down the aisle. Several guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the music during our ceremony. I would 100% recommend Christine to future brides!
Christine was very easy to work with & very reliable! She played the music beautifully while our guests were being seated and during the prelude and processional! I was unsure which songs to choose and she took time out of her busy schedule to call and play the songs for us to help us choose! I am so happy I was able to book her. She added something special to our magical day. I would highly recommend her for any event.
Christine was absolutely amazing and made the ceremony so beautiful. Her talent is simply breathtaking and I would recommend her for any event you throw! Thanks again for making our wedding day so special, Christine!
Christine delivered a great product! Well worth every penny! I would recommend to any venue in need of quality entertainment!
Perfection! Christine's Ave Maria is breathtaking and significantly added to a wonderful ceremony. Christine playing at Cocktail Hour also added a touch of class. Christine is easy to work with and fulfills all promises. Highly recommend!
