My diary is constantly being updated due to the nature of my client's bookings. Because of this I do not publish it online. To check whether your date is free, please contact me directly. Occasionally I do perform at more than one event on the same day.
No. When you enquire I may make a note in my diary of your event's details. However, this does not reserve that date for you. Your booking is only secured once your deposit is paid. If I receive another enquiry for the same date I will try to let you know, however I work on a first "booked" basis. On some occasions I accept multiple bookings per day.
Details such as timings and other requirements can change in the run-up to events. For this reason I ask for as many details as possible when you book. Please give me as much notice as possible and let me know if any plans change, especially as on some occasions I accept multiple bookings per day. A month before your event I will contact you to confirm these details with you, and the second payment of 80% is required 30 days before the event (non-refundable).
I ask clients for the following details including: full client/s name/s, date of event, full venue address, timings for event, as well as performance timings, plus any special requirements that the client may have. Once this have been established I will put an informed quote together for you. After the quote has been finalised and details confirmed, we can proceed. I then send clients an invoice for the non-refundable 20% deposit, required to secure the booking.
Depending on the type and style of the event my attire will vary. I believe it is important to maintain that I am a well-presented, highly experienced musician. Whether your event is black-tie, or relaxed and casual I will perform in appropriate attire for your event. I have no "usual attire", concert dress is formal black, however I can perform in a number of different colours - if you have a specific colour scheme in mind, let me know and I can ensure that I compliment the look that you wish to create.
I can perform outdoors but require some form of shelter. My instruments (both electric and acoustic) can not be in direct sunlight or any rain as this will damage them. So, if you're interested in having an outdoor event: a gazebo, pergola, umbrella, large tree or being stationed by French doors work best. Do consider a contingency plan for adverse weather. Advance notice must be given before the event. Ultimately I reserve the right not to play outdoors, but will always do what is best in order to ensure both you and your guests get the best performance possible.
Yes. Once the details of your event have been established I will put an informed quote together for you. After the quote has been finalised and details confirmed, we can proceed. I then send clients an invoice for their non-refundable 20% deposit, required to secure the booking.
Do check your venue's music policy before completing your booking with me - every venue has individualised rules, regulations and licenses to adhere to. Does the venue have sound restrictions - check their policies on both acoustic and amplified music. Ask where musicians usually perform - both inside and outside. Check if the venue is able to provide appropriate shelter for me to perform under if your event is taking place outside: a gazebo, pergola, umbrella, large tree or being stationed by French doors work best.
I will need 1 armless chair, although I always bring my stool as a back-up. I require approximately 2m x 2m of space for me to perform. I require somewhere to store my cases and bags whilst Iperform, and are always grateful for basic refreshments - most importantly having a glass of water. If I am to be situated outside please ensure there is adequate shade or shelter. When performing outside I will need to be on level ground with protection from high winds.
There are a number of ways to contact me - so choose the way that suits you best - email, Whats App, Instagram, Facebook & Messenger, my website contact page, or you can phone me and leave an answer phone message - then we can arrange a phone call if required. I check all avenues of communication regularly and will respond as soon as I am able to.
Laura is a professional, freelance musician. Laura is a graduate of The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. Laura graduated in 2014.
Interested in something more? The option to upgrade to a larger ensemble is available upon request. Popular ensembles requested include: string duo, string trio & string quartet. Contact me for more details in regards to larger ensembles.
I have many professional contacts and musicians that I work with on a regular basis. In the event that I become ill, or unavailable, I will arrange another elite musician to perform in my place. I will contact you directly if this is the case. We can then sort how you would like to proceed.
I am regularly accepting bookings up to 3 years in advance. The more notice the better. Having said this - I have also been known to accept bookings within a much shorter time frame. If you are interested in booking me - contact me and together we can discuss your plans, no matter how far in the future they may be.
Your booking is only secured once your deposit is paid. A non-refundable deposit of 20% is required upon booking. Payment can be made via bank transfer.
Food and drink is not expected from my clients, however always appreciated. A glass of water will keep me hydrated and focused throughout the performance/s. If canapes are circulating, or a cup of tea is offered, - I won't say no. Depending on the length of the musical sets during your special event, I will require breaks to refresh and replenish myself, keeping me, and the music, energised.
I am based in the South West of England, and am prepared to travel worldwide. My quotes include: travel costs. If you are looking to have a wedding further afield or even abroad - let us know and I can take this into consideration, reflecting any extra travel costs in your quote.
Of course! I am very happy to move between rooms at your venue during the event. For example, moving from the wedding ceremony through to the drinks reception. All I ask - is that it is planned before hand. I am flexible and want to provide you and your guests with uninterrupted music as much as possible.
I always aim to arrive at least 60+ minutes before my performance start time. This allows me plenty of time to set up, warm up and discuss any last-minute queries with the venue. It is very helpful for me if someone at the venue has been informed of my booking and is expecting me. They can then direct me to your (or their venue's standard) chosen location for my performance.
Yes, I regularly travel between more than one venue. If required this would be done within the total time period that you book me for, travel time will need be included within your quote.
Laura has Public Liability Insurance for £10 million, held with the Independent Society of Musicians. Insurance certificates are available on request.
Yes. Each client is given an outline of my expectations, including my quote and requirements for the event. Note: my quotes include: travel costs, set up time, set changes, necessary breaks and my time between sets.
Prices for my services vary depending on a number of factors including: location, duration, and special requests. Please get in touch with any special requirements. Contact me for a more personalised quote.
Absolutely not! The price I quote is all inclusive, including VAT.
A non-refundable deposit of 20% is required upon booking. The final 80% is required 30 days before the event (non-refundable). Events cancelled will lose 100% of payments made up to that date. You may pay at an earlier point if you wish. Payment can be made via bank transfer. Details are included in your invoice.
Yes. Events cancelled will lose 100% of payments made up to the date of cancellation.
Yes. There are both audio and video clips available on my website, as well as short video clips of me performing on socials and my YouTube channel @LauraSeymourViolin. You're always welcome to come and visit me at an upcoming wedding fair or concert. Keep an eye on my socials and events notifications for more details on performances at public events.
Yes I can. Always check your venue's music policy, and specifically ask them about amplified music. Amplification is not necessary for most wedding ceremonies or parties where I can perform acoustically. However, for bigger corporate events, or larger drinks receptions we can bring our: pick ups / amplifier, leads, extension cable, 2x mats, and speaker. In order to perform this way I will need access to your venue's: electricity, any spare mats to cover our leads - which keeps everyone safe, and access to your venue's internalised PA system - if applicable.
You certainly can. My clients have access to an extensive and diverse range of music, allowing me to create bespoke entertainment for any occasion. Have a look at my Repertoire List and contact me with your ideas. Some couples like to choose all the pieces and send it to me like a playlist but you can also choose a handful of your favourite songs to give me an idea of your musical style and I can suggest pieces that are similar. We’ll create the perfect playlist!
I regularly take bookings for between 1 - 4 hours, although I have no maximum length of booking. My overall time is reflected in your quote. I generally take a 10+ minute break per hour during a function of 2 hours or more. I will coordinate my breaks with your event's itinerary. If planning music for a wedding, I build my breaks in to the schedule and note these clearly on your individualised set list. Please note that musicians always stay in position throughout the entirety of a wedding ceremony.
Want Something Else? Special Requests: If you would like a song you don’t see on my list, let me know and I will look to see if an arrangement already exists. If I can access it we will let you know and do a quote for this special extra. Otherwise, we can discuss writing a bespoke arrangement for you at £100.00 per piece. There is no rush on choosing music from the list but if you'd like to explore the bespoke option do let me know as soon as you've made a decision so I have plenty of time to arrange the piece for you.
If I have not listed your question in my FAQs, please contact me and I will get back to you with an answer as quickly as I can. I look forward to hearing from you!
Laura brought an extraordinary touch of elegance and emotion to our engagement proposal. From the very first note, it was clear we were in the presence of a truly gifted musician. Her performance was not only beautifully executed, it was heartfelt, perfectly timed, and deeply moving. From the start, Laura was incredibly easy to communicate with. She offered thoughtful recommendations and helped curate the perfect selection of romantic pieces that enhanced the atmosphere without ever overpowering it. Every note felt intentional, creating a musical backdrop that made the entire moment feel like a dream. What made Laura stand out even more was her attentiveness during the proposal itself. She gracefully adjusted the tone as I got down on one knee, and later moved through the venue while we took photos, ensuring her music was heard throughout. Her presence was both subtle and impactful, adding a unique layer of intimacy and sophistication. My fiancée and I were genuinely touched by how her music elevated the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better musician to help capture the magic of such an important day. We wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone looking to make a special occasion truly exceptional.
Laura is a friendly and professional young lady who will endeavour to give you exactly the music & atmosphere you are seeking for your event. She is a passionate musician that I have known for many years & heard play many times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Laura was phenomenal performing for my wedding ceremony at Gosfield Hall. She arrived super early to prep, and played all the songs to perfection! Highly recommend!
Laura is a fantastic musician and her performances embody such soul that you absolutely won't get the same results from just playing a recording. Her music will bring such atmosphere and warmth to your event. Her grace and charm extends beyond her playing too, making her an easy person to rely upon and a delightful presence on your special day.
Laura is friendly, professional, and wonderfully passionate about music. She can seamlessly switch between different genres and styles and her playing creates such a lovely atmosphere!
I've attended weddings, receptions, and other events in which the musicians are more or less part of the decoration, they play well, but there's nothing memorable about it. Laura is different. Her musical talent, combined with that all-important sense for what is right in each occasion, deepens the memory of each event for which she performs. There's no event so humble that her playing cannot lend to it an air of elegance, no event so refined that her playing cannot elevate further.
Watching and listening to Laura play is absolutely beautiful. Laura is so passionate about what she does, it really shines through. The music she plays really sets the scene. Not only is she a brilliant violinist but she is also very friendly, intelligent and gorgeous person to be with.

I heard Laura play for the first time last year and loved listening to her classical music, but was so impressed with how elegant she can make modern songs sound too. Bridgerton vibes through and through!! If you want something a little unique for your wedding or event, Laura's your girl.
I have had the pleasure of listening to Laura play and it is just magical! Such a beautiful performance that would add something so special to any occasion. I would highly recommend Laura and I cannot wait to hear her play again ✨️

Laura was absolutely amazing! Communication was easy and punctual, and everything felt personal and special.

Laura has been great throughout this process. She was supportive in choosing songs (as she had so many we loved to choose from!) and sounded beautiful on the day. Thank you x

So so pleased with Laura, she is super talented and was very thoughtful and communicative throughout. Highly recommend
