Welcome to Club Violin!

With a vision of providing quality musicians for wedding ceremonies, Leslie Erickson started Club Violin in 2006 with 5 musicians and has grown to boast 15 super talented, well trained, seasoned musicians.

The first year in business, the group booked and successfully performed at 80 weddings and every year since then has steadily increased it's bookings to over double that number. Club Violin recognizes the balance of booking the exact right number of weddings to provide each and every client with a truly professional service, not only on the performance end but on the personal side with attention to each couple's detail of their wedding.

In addition, the business has built a strong reputation and relationship with local vendors within the wedding industry. When it comes to service, all of the musicians involved come from a teaching background, therefore, to say the club is organized and detail-oreiented is an understatement. Musical perfection in a wedding ceremony is the goal, every single time. Not only do the musicians of Club Violin come from strong backgrounds, they love what they do and it shows.
