Hazel Alexander Violinist

Hazel was great, very easy to deal with and has a wide range of songs and musical pieces in her repertoire.

The music on the day was great and she played the pieces beautifully.

Would recommend to future couples looking for musicians.

We can not express our thanks enough to Hazel (Violin) and Lynn (Cello) for their absolutely beautiful contribution to our big day. Hazel was so incredibly helpful with the song choices before the wedding and her professionalism put my mind at ease from our first conversation. Nothing was too big an ask, and they were happy to accommodate special requests and learn songs specifically for our drinks reception/ceremony! Our friend, Brian, played guitar and sang two songs during our ceremony and was accompanied by Hazel and Lynn for these songs. Speaking to him after he was full of praise for how easy it was to play with Hazel and Lynn because of their experience and talent, and this was evident in how beautiful all of the music was for both our ceremony and drinks reception. If you are considering live music for your ceremony/drinks reception- you will not regret booking Hazel and Lynn!! Our guests are still talking about how moving and magical the music was for our ceremony and I’ve even been asked by other brides who attended the wedding for their details since as they were so blown away by the music!

We hired Hazel as our wedding violinist in July and she was absolutely incredible! Her performance during our ceremony was breathtaking and created such a romantic, intimate atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and moving her music was. Hazel's professionalism and talent truly shone through, and she added an elegant, personal touch that made our wedding day even more memorable. We couldn't recommend her more highly. She made our special day truly magical with her beautiful playing!

Absolutely incredible! Hazel made our church ceremony feel so beautiful and magical we couldn’t have asked for better. The music was perfectly timed, beautifully performed, and created the most romantic atmosphere in the church. From the very first message to Hazel, I knew we were in good hands, and she had loads of suggestions and always on hand to help. We received endless compliments from our guests, it’s still a talking point of the day! Amazing value for money too. It was a pleasure having Hazel involved in our special day, I would highly recommend!

Hazel was wonderful throughout the planning phase, helping us in deciding the music we would like - nothing was too much trouble for her, even sending short samples of songs!

On our wedding day Hazel was brilliant and she really added a lot to our day! Really couldnt recommend her more!

Thank you Hazel!

Hazel is an absolute lady. I booked her for my wedding ceremony and reception which was last week and oh my gosh I’m so delighted I did. The music was magical. I literally felt like I was in a fairytale. Hazel talked me through the whole ceremony and where music was needed. I hounded her with questions and suggestions but Hazel was always very supportive. I got to walk down the aisle to a song from How to Train Your Dragon 🥲 Ben Cully also came along to play piano and honestly the two together was spectacular. I got nothing but compliments on our choice of instruments and music. Highly highly recommend Hazel! 💕

Hazel and her sister Lynn (cellist) performed at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception.

We found Hazel great to work with, she has a huge repertoire of classical, modern, pop and film music to choose from, and she even learned a new piece especially for our ceremony.

The music made the ceremony much more personal and intimate.

We would highly recommend Hazel and Lynn to anyone looking for a bespoke choice for their wedding ceremony/ reception.

I love the music at our wedding and many guests also came up to me and said it to me. Hazel is very responsive, easy going and professional. I would recommend her to a friend.

Hazel was absolutely amazing and so talented. Not only she made our ceremony so much more special by being part of it with her beautiful music but she also provided us with outstanding service leading up to the wedding. She responded to any of our queries with kindness and reassured us with our song choices. I would recommend Hazel to anyone looking for beautiful music on their wedding day. Thank you so much again. Diana & Gerry

Hazel played beautifully at our wedding — it truly made the day magical. Professional, talented, and a joy to work with. Thank you for making our ceremony so special!

My husband and I were so lucky to have Hazel and her lovely sister perform at our outdoor ceremony in the K Club in May this year. From the moment we first got in touch, Hazel was wonderful—so responsive, friendly, and genuinely interested in helping us create exactly the atmosphere we envisioned!

The communication was fantastic. Hazel was always able answer any questions, and offer thoughtful guidance about the music choices. Nothing was ever too much trouble. This was great especially since my husband and I live abroad! They were able to play every piece we asked for, which meant so much to us.

On the day itself, everything was set up so professionally that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We just knew we were in good hands. My walk down the aisle was quite long, and the song we chose, brought to life by the beautiful cello and violin combination, made the moment so much more emotional and memorable.

Their music truly made the ceremony. It was elegant, heartfelt, and perfectly suited to the amazing sunny day we were blessed with. So many of our guests commented on how special it felt, and so many people had tears in their eyes when the bridesmaid started down the aisle due to the emotion they felt when the music started playing.

We would highly recommend Hazel and her sister to anyone looking for talented musicians who not only play beautifully but are also a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Thank you again for helping make our ceremony so beautiful and unforgettable :)

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your amazing performance at our wedding. Your music truly brought so much joy and meaning to the ceremony—it was absolutely perfect.

Hearing the Star Wars theme as Emmet walked up the aisle was such a fun and memorable moment, and Tale as Old as Time as I walked down the aisle brought tears to my eyes. You captured exactly what we hoped for and made those moments unforgettable—not just for us, but for our guests too.

Thank you again for sharing your talent and helping make our day so special.

My husband and I were so lucky to have Hazel and her lovely sister Lynn preform at our outdoor ceremony in Meath in May this year. From the moment we contacted her, the chats over the phone and all Hazel’s lovely guidance throughout-she was wonderful. I made sure Jarlath and I took a couple of moments during the reception to just stop and listen to their beautiful music 🎻🎶 we can’t thank you both enough for being part of our day 💍 thank you xx

Hazel was very professional and her playing was flawless. She has a diverse selection of music to choose from and we found plenty of great pieces of music to add a beautiful musical touch that helped our wedding ceremony be that extra bit special. She is so lovely to deal with and was very accommodating to our needs. We would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a great violinist.

Couldn't be happier with the service Hazel and her sister Lynn provided for our wedding in City Hall. From the get go, Hazel was attentive, accommodating and put us right at ease. Probably knows City Hall like the back of her hand at this stage so was really able to use the acoustics to her advantage and make our songs choices sound incredible on the day. If your looking for a wedding violinist I'd look no further than Hazel. Many thanks again Hazel & Lynn :)

Hazel performed at our intimate wedding ceremony in March 2025, and we couldn’t have been happier with her contribution to our special day. From the very beginning, she was an absolute pleasure to work with—warm, professional, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the music selection and organising every detail for the ceremony.

On the day itself, Hazel’s beautiful violin playing created a truly magical atmosphere.

We wholeheartedly recommend Hazel to anyone seeking a talented violinist to enhance their special day.

Before I begin, I want to preface: I am American. Any planning we did with Hazel was via email, WhatsApp message, or video call. Despite being six hours behind Hazel, she was very flexible and it was easy to communicate with her.

Hazel is fun to work with, enthusiastic, adventurous, and an overall joy to be around. And, of course, incredibly, incredibly talented.

I don't know how familiar anyone is with American weddings, but they are an absolute racket. Everything costs money. Not only does it cost money, it costs 30% more once you mention it is for a wedding. Music costs more, flowers costs more, food costs more, the venue costs more. Having a small wedding with the typical expectations (food, dinner, dancing, drinks, etc.) costs a small fortune. That was not my experience getting married abroad in Ireland!

When I first contacted Hazel, I informed her that me and my wife would be getting married on Inis Mor. She regretfully let me know she only worked in County Dublin and the surrounding area. But she was exactly what we were looking for: A one-woman show learned in our favorite instrument who would be able to play all of our favorite music; I was not about to let her get away that easily.

It took some convincing, but in the end, she was happy to join us.

As I mentioned before, she was enthusiastic to learn new music, and do any number of songs in her repertoire for our ceremony. As long as the song could be played by one person on the violin, she was happy to learn it and perform it.

To say the ceremony went perfectly would be an understatement. You can read my review of Dara Molloy's service on my profile. But Hazel was an instrumental piece of the puzzle, and I cannot imagine what the ceremony would have been without her. From "Concerning Hobbits" to "There Are Many Ways to Say I Love You" to "Never Let Me Go" to "Serenade of Water" to "The Greatest Adventure," and so much more, each step of the ceremony was accompanied by Hazel's beautiful music that added the perfect ambiance to our outdoor, Celtic, nature-based ceremony.

As I said before, Hazel was a joy to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better musician for our small, intimate ceremony. I'm glad I was persistent and bugged her enough to drag her out to Inis Mor. If I ever needed another violinist for any other similar event, Hazel would be the first person I would call.

Thank you, Hazel, for being such a big part of our ceremony. It would not have been the same without you.

All of our love and thanks,

Kevin + Lauren

Hazel and Lynn played during our wedding ceremony and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! They were amazing and to be honest they were the highlight of our entire wedding. The amount of guests that commented on our ceremony music and how wonderful it was. I can’t rate them highly enough. 10/10 and so professional to deal with.

Hazel played Violin for our Wedding in Boyne Hill House. A beautiful venue and Hazels music was as amazing as the surroundings. We were absolutely delighted with the professionalism, communication and most importantly the Music she performed. We requested if Hazel could get a piano/keyboard player for us on the day and it was no problem. Darren was also fantastic. Hazel added a real level of finesse and Class to our ceremony and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Hazel was amazing! she played beautifully and created such a serene atmosphere for our ceremony.

She helped us in choosing many of our songs and allowed us to choose songs, that she then had to learn.
I would absolutely recommend Hazel ??

Hazel provided fantastic music for our wedding service and reception. She was very responsive during the planning process through email and Zoom calls and was able to easily adapt to what we wanted and run us through everything. We were also provided a broad selection of pieces that made deciding what to go with a breeze.

On the day itself, Hazel made the experience completely stress free and arrived well before the ceremony and was able to set up without any issues. We were very happy with our choices and Hazel performed them beautifully.

At our reception we asked if she could play a mix of pieces that would best suit the atmosphere and she did this perfectly.

Overall we were very happy with having Hazel play at our wedding and would highly recommend her.

Hazel was amazing for our wedding. Everyone was so impressed and loved the music. Hazels repertoire is fantastic and she gives great advice when preparing for the big day.
Hazel is so helpful, professional and easy to work with throughly.
We are so pleased to have the honour of hazels music on our special day.

Hazel is an amazing violinist and I am so lucky to have booked her for my wedding . She is an amazing person and she was so responsive and no request was too much , I asked her to play songs out of her repertoire and she did it for me no problem , I would highly recommend Hazel for your music !!!

Hazel played our ceremony music for our wedding in the stone house in Moyvalley and we couldn't recommend her more. From the meetings we had with her in advance of the day, we knew her music would be just perfect for us. She was so engaging, learning specific music and sending us lots of samples to listen to. On the day, I didn't cry untill I stood outside and heard Hazel playing the song I would walk up the aisle to! Hazel is such a talent and her music is incredibly emotional. You could hear a pin drop in the seats when hazel played during our ceremony and our guests commented how they enjoyed the violin so much. She had everyone in awe. Thank you hazel for making our ceremony so very special.

Hazel played a blinder on our wedding day, her music was excellent and really added something special to the ceremony. She even managed to take some insta worthy pictures which were a nice surprise to have the following day. Hazel was excellent in the lead up to our wedding, helped us pick our song list and provided sample music for anything we requested. Would highly recommend

Hazel was amazing. She had a large repoitoire to choose from which included some of a our favourite songs already. And she even offered to learn new songs for us which was not necessary. Booking with hazel was easy due to her professionalism. On the wedding day, her music was wonderful and added a beautiful atmosphere to our wedding ceremony.

Hazel was amazing so easy to comunicate, she has a lot of experience so she guided us with appropriate music for each part of the ceremony. Highly recommend her

We are so delighted Hazel played at our wedding. She made everything so easy in the lead up to the day from helping us pick songs to sending demos. Hazel is a fabulous talent and her music made our ceremony all that more special. Hazel was such a pleasure to deal with, responsive, friendly and we would absolutely recommend her. Thank you Hazel!

Hazel was a joy to work with for our wedding! She happily learned two new songs for our ceremony, which really made the day even more special. Her music was a key part of our wedding's ambiance and I'm so glad we had her be a part of it.

I cant thank Hazel enough for playing at our wedding.
She was so friendly and professional and listened to all our ideas and just as I expected she delivered our chosen songs beautifully on the violin. Would highly recommend.

Hazel was absolutely amazing and so professional in helping with our ceremony and making it be extra special. Hazel put alot of time in to help us pick the perfect music and no question was too much. My partner had a very special request and Hazel was so helpful in accommodation with this. Thanks so much

We booked Hazel for our ceremony music for our wedding and I couldn't recommend her enough. We wanted contemporary songs and Hazel didn't hesitate to make suggestions as well as learning new songs that we?d had our hearts set on. Hazel helped to create a beautiful ambience to our ceremony and helped to set the tone for what was a wonderful day.

Working with Hazel was an absolute dream from start to finish. She was so helpful and professional. Hazel is so talented and we were so thrilled to have her play at our wedding.

Hazel went above and beyond to provide the most beautiful music for our wedding ceremony. She was extremely easy to work with especially during covid when we had no in person contact. She is a very talented violinist and extremely professional in how she presents.

Hazel was fantastic to say the least. She is so elegant and her talent is extraordinary! The communication was excellent and she gave great examples and helped organise where to put each song for the mass. I requested a song for our entrance to the church and Hazel learned it for us, sent us updates and previews on how it would sound on the day. The music on the day was flawless start to finish!! All of our guests were impressed and commented on how lovely the music was. I would definitely recommend Hazel without hesitation as she goes above and beyond. We got married during Covid and Hazel made the experience that much more bearable!!!

Hazel was an absolute pleasure to work with before & during our Wedding. With all the Covid challenges we faced, nothing was a problem for Hazel. She has an amazing talent. She specifically sourced a piece of music that wasn't in her repertoire & played it so beautifully. I could listen to Hazel playing the violin all day long. Her violin playing added something special to our ceremony & all our guests thought she was amazing. We would highly recommend Hazel to work with & play all your special pieces of music for your wonderful day.

Hazel was brilliant from initial contact through to our wedding day, she is lovely to deal with and sent on lots of music suggestions and was also open to learning a new song that we wanted for our ceremony. The sound of the violin is fabulous in a church creating such a lovely ambiance. We also had her play for our drinks reception after which everyone loved. She is brilliant and talented, highly recommend booking her.

I cannot thank Hazel enough for the absolutely amazing job she did for our Wedding, the music was absolutely beautiful! from the word go Hazel was so professional, kind and accommodating, she learned songs that I requested, gave great recommendations for songs and was so willing to help in any way. Hazel also played for our reception and for a short outdoor ceremony (which was in the rain, which Hazel didn't complain about once) these also ran behind schedule and Hazel stayed back later than we had planned without any issue, she was so good she went above and beyond in every way. Everyone commented on how beautiful the music was and it brought such magic to our day. Thank you so much Hazel.

So grateful that we had Hazel perform our wedding ceremony music on 1st Feb 2020 . From first point of contact to seeing her smile as she played us out of the church , everything was perfect . A pleasure to deal with from every email . I had chosen a non traditional bridal entrance song and Hazel had no problem coordinating this on violin specific for the occasion . Many thanks again Hazel & all the best in the future ! X
