Why book an instrumentalist?
An instrumentalist adds elegance without words: a violin for the bride's entry, a saxophone at the cocktail hour, a flute during the varmala.
Instrumental sets also suit moments when guests are talking, because the music sits in the background until it's needed.
Tell us the moment you're planning and the songs you love, and we'll send artists who can play them.

Hiring instrumentalists: your questions
Which instrument suits a bride's entry?
Violin and flute feel soft and romantic; saxophone feels grand and modern. Tell us the song you want and we'll suggest the best fit.
Can an instrumentalist play Bollywood songs?
Yes, most play instrumental versions of Bollywood hits as well as classics.
Is one instrumentalist enough?
For an entry or a cocktail hour, one artist with backing tracks works well. For longer sets, a duo keeps it lively.
Can an instrumentalist roam among guests?
Many violinists and saxophonists can play while moving around, which works well for cocktail hours.
Do they need a stage?
Usually not. A corner with power for a small speaker is often enough.
Can they play classical Indian instruments?
Yes. Sitar, flute, santoor and tabla artists are available in many cities. Tell us what you'd like.
