Highly recommend

Son booked CAVE for his wedding in may 2024, we were so impressed ive booked for our wedding next year.
She very responsive and professional to her emails and i feel she wont let us down on the day ( biggest fear when booking people).
Weve asked CAVE to play a song which isnt on her list, which she has agreed for a small extra cost as she needs to learn the music.

Looking forward to hearing her play again at our wedding

The perfect addition 🎻

Jo was the perfect addition to our wedding day. She played during the arrival of guests from the church, for the drinks reception and for our cake cutting. In the lead up to the wedding, we were given the opportunity to request a song not on Jo’s repertoire (which we did) and to choose from her repertoire for the set list on the day, we couldn’t believe how much there was to choose from! On the day Jo was professional, polite and flexible where she needed to be. We loved having her music to accompany such a special day. Would 100% recommend, and would book again!

The perfect touch to our fairytale wedding

Jo is absolutely fantastic! I cannot thank her enough for playing such beautiful music throughout our wedding ceremony and drinks reception! Even in 30 degree heat Jo worked so hard and played so beautifully all while with a smile on her face! We are so grateful to Jo who bought us to tears on many occasions and truly set the scene for a fairytale wedding. All of our guests agreed Jo’s playing was perfect for the occasion and we received so many compliments. Thank you so much Jo, for making our day feel truly magical, we are so glad we found and chose you for our day.

Amazing!

Jo was absolutely incredible, I am struggling to find the words to describe how amazing her performance was on our special day.

Her repertoire was so expansive and had something for everyone, we had a few specific requests which she quickly composed and they sounded even better than we could have possibly hoped. Her communication was incredibly clear and quick and she was really supportive advising us on music cues and timings.

I’ll never get over the feeling of walking back down the aisle with my new husband to “accidentally in love” it perfectly encapsulated the joy of the moment. I genuinely cannot recommend CAVE enough!

Absolutely amazing ❤️

Wow! Jo (Cave) was absolutely fantastic. We can not put into words how stunning her music and talent is. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We hired Jo to play at our wedding at Coton House Farm on the 23.04.25. She played music for our guests as we arrived in the chapel and continued throughout the afternoon , playing during the reception drinks and wedding breakfast. Jo did not stop playing, not even for 1 minute. She ensured all the music requested was played and even went the extra mile learning new music for our walk down the aisle. Every single guest said how beautifully she played. She got people dancing and singing along, especially with her electric violin (amazing). We 100% recommend. If you are thinking of hiring a violinist, Jo is the musician to have. Thank you for making such wonderful memories for our moment in time. ❤️

Cave - Violinist

Jo was amazing, we booked her for our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for more. Her performance in the wedding ceremony was spectacular & her performance for our guests afterwards, if possible was even better. All our guests commented on how good she was. 5* if you’re thinking about a violinist, don’t hesitate and book.

Thank you K&D

The perfect addition to our day

Joanne, thank you so much for making our day extra special. Thank you for being so flexible and changing our set last minute to include an extra Aston Villa themed song. Our guests spoke so highly of you and said how lovely it was to hear you play during our canapes. We wouldn't have changed a thing on our day so we are so happy you were part of it. Thanks again and UTV. X

Joanne made moments of our wedding unforgettable

Having Joanne play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we ever made. What a surreal experience she created!
Joanne was so easy to work with and so clear in communication. She is very talented and provides a range of music to suit everyone's taste. Joanne played as guests arrived at the venue, during key moments part of the ceremony and during our drinks reception. It worked perfectly. All our guests loved the touch she added to the day.
Her talent and passion for music shone through every note, and we couldn’t have imagined our day without her.
If you are looking for a violinist for your wedding, Joanne is the one you want!

Easy to work with and her music was just so beautiful ❤

Joanne was a great supplier to work with and we are so glad we found her through Hitched. She was accommodating with our unplanned and unscheduled delay on the wedding day. She made our ceremony in the woodland have that Irish/Celtic atmosphere, while also playing our favourite songs before, during and after the ceremony. Her violin music combined with the woodland setting of our wedding was just what we wanted and it was amazing.❤ Both us and the guests loved her music and She was more than happy to arrange a personalised playlist from the songs she had on her music list. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to add that special extra to their wedding day or ceremony.
Thank you for making our ceremony feel so special and unique. And thank you for being our wedding violinist.😄❤

Stunning performances! Absolutely fab lady

I found and contacted Jo with not much time until my wedding. She replied very quickly and communication was fab! She was vey patient with me and let me take my time to chose which songs I’d like. We have had so many comments from our guests of how beautifully Jo played and how it really set our ceremony. I’m so glad we were able to book Jo and have her play on our day. I absolutely loved hearing Jo play. I love the sound of the songs played by the violin. It gave such a romantic and loving feel. Really calming too. Thank you so much Jo, you were fab and worth every penny. I would definitely recommend you to anyone!

Beautifully talented & professional

From the very start, Joanne responded straight away and directed us to her media channels, so that we could make our decisions.
I understand our guests were delighted and applauded before I made my entrance.

Thank you again Joanne for being an integral part of our day.

Highly recommended

I booked Joanne to play while the food was served at my son’s birthday party and she was fantastic!
No one else knew about the booking so she was a complete surprise and everyone was impressed.
Joanne even learned a new song at my request especially for the party and dresses according to the theme.

Thank you Joanne! You were amazing!

Great ceremony music

We got married this past weekend and hired Joanne to play whilst our guests were arriving and the ceremony music. As the Bride I did not get to hear the music whilst I was arriving, however I have seen some videos my guests took and all the songs sounded amazing as did all the ceremony music. The song list she sent over was extensive and she was willing to learn any specific songs (or even compose one for us). We did not need this as all the songs we wanted were on her list but it was great to know she would have if we wanted her to.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
