Karina Dey Violin

Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I'm Karina, a classically trained violinist & electric violinist based in East Sussex, covering Sussex, Kent and London. I trained at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London, then spent five years as strings band leader on cruise ships entertaining guests across itineraries of up to two weeks around the Mediterranean, Caribbean & Asia. That's given me a genuinely versatile repertoire built to hold a room, which I now bring to weddings and private events on land.

What I offer:

Wedding ceremony, reception & breakfast – solo violin, acoustic or with backing tracks (acoustic/electric)

Evening entertainment – electric violin performing alongside a DJ

String duo, trio & quartet available (acoustic) Strings Attached Violins

Repertoire spanning instrumental pop covers, Bridgerton-style covers & Ibiza classics

Watch my promo video to hear me perform and get in touch to check availability for your date!
