Frequently Asked Questions
How do we get started?
Call, text, or email me and I will contact you back. (631) 974-2498 or timeriegatto@gmail.com. We'll discuss your wedding and I'll suggest pieces to complement it. I am open-minded, and easy to work with. I will coordinate with you, your officiant, and/or your wedding coordinator to assure a seamless performance. Together we'll create the perfect combination to delight your guests!
Can you perform outdoors? Will you be heard?
Yes, I can play indoors or outdoors, if weather permits. My acoustic violin can be very loud if I wish. If I am playing outdoors, I may play my electric violin with my small amplifier so I can be heard for wedding ceremonies.
How long do you need to set up?
I will arrive 20 minutes or more before your event. I'll seek you out and/or the coordinator or officiant to check on timing, cues, and set-up location. I will unpack, hide my coat and case, set up my violin and warm-up to be sure everything sounds good.
Can I hear you play before I hire you?
Sure. Click on my Wedding Music Guide or Strolling Violin Music to hear me play!
