About

Robbie Mackenzie is a professional violinist based in Glasgow, specialising in elegant live music for weddings, private events and celebrations across the UK and internationally.

With over 10 years of experience performing at weddings and events, Robbie has built a versatile repertoire covering modern pop, romantic classics, film music and traditional Scottish music. His performances are designed to complement every part of your wedding, from the ceremony through to the drinks reception and beyond.

Robbie’s solo violin performances combine beautiful live playing with high-quality backing tracks, creating a rich, polished sound while retaining the intimacy and elegance of a live violinist. He can provide music for your ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast or evening entertainment, tailoring the style and atmosphere to suit your day.

A First Class Honours graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Robbie has performed with orchestras, traditional ceilidh bands and as a soloist at weddings and events around the world. He also has extensive experience as a Scottish traditional musician, making him an ideal choice for couples looking to incorporate a touch of Scotland into their wedding.

His repertoire includes music from artists such as Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Adele, The Beatles, ABBA, Coldplay and Bruno Mars, alongside timeless romantic classics, film music, traditional Scottish favourites and a selection of Bollywood songs.

Robbie is also happy to learn special song requests, whether that’s the song you’d like to walk down the aisle to, your first dance, or a piece that has particular meaning to you as a couple.

Professional, friendly and highly experienced, Robbie takes care of everything needed for a seamless performance, including professional amplification and backing tracks where required. He can also perform as a duo with either piano or guitar accompaniment, offering an even fuller live sound.

Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding or a large celebration, live violin is a beautiful way to create memorable moments throughout your day.
