OVERVIEW

Introducing Lawrence Gratton - the captivating violinist and acoustic guitarist who will create a truly unforgettable wedding experience. With his unique blend of live-looped acoustic guitar and violin, Lawrence will serenade you down the aisle to your favourite song, and then keep your guests entertained with his beautifully orchestrated arrangements of popular songs.

Lawrence's extensive contemporary repertoire is sure to impress, and he will work with you to personalise your day exactly how you wish. Whether you want to walk down the aisle to a traditional classical piece or a modern pop song, Lawrence will deliver a stunning performance that is tailored to your taste.

Lawrence understands that every wedding is unique, and he will work closely with you to create a personalised package for your special day. This can include:

  • Ceremony - guest arrival, Bridal party entry, signing the register, Bridal party exit, guest exit.
  • Canapés - keep your guests entertained during couple photos.
  • Reception - Add some live-looped violin for a charming and romantic touch to your reception.

"Without a doubt, it was the best decision we could have made. Lawrence went above and beyond (we had some delays on the day), he arrive hours before the reception to ensure everything goes smooth and he has created a fantastic atmosphere, just next level."

As a professional, there's more to providing music for weddings than just putting on a great show. When working with Lawrence, you can expect: 

  • Flexible performance packages tailored to your requirements.
  • Extensive repertoire from which to choose your key pieces for the day.
  • Professional sound equipment for every venue.
  • Clear and professional communication throughout the process.

"Lawrence’s music had the best upbeat vibe, his live looping style is so unique and awesome. We were so happy with his performance, I highly recommend. He even learnt a few special songs we requested and did an incredible job of my entrance music!"

FAQ

Absolutely! I've got a great wedding repertoire, however if you have any requests then I can perform the exact song you want to walk down the aisle. 

As long as the weather is dry I can perform outdoors; just make sure there is a wet weather contingency! 

I also have my own power supply so I can be positioned anywhere - perfect for those location ceremonies.

I can provide the PA system for your wedding, including wireless microphone for speeches and DJ services for the evening. 

I'm based in Gold Coast so I'm perfectly placed for weddings up to Brisbane and Gold Coast Hinterland and Scenic Rim; down to Northern Rivers, Tweed Valley or down to Byron Bay. I'm happy to travel further but I do account for travel costs in my quotes.

Lawrence is incredible! My partner and I decided we absolutely needed his music for our wedding 4 years before we even got engaged after only hearing him play once, it's that magical! We selected our wedding date specifically to make sure he could be there. Lawrence played at both our ceremony in the park and reception in a small country hall and even very kindly stayed on and played longer than organised because no-one wanted him to leave! Lawrence is beyond professional from his prompt responses to all my messages, to the suave way he dressed for the ceremony. He has an extensive repertoire of songs and will even learn others specially for you, however we didn't need him to as we easily could pick way more songs than he would even have time to play from his list! He can play all the classic absolutely beautiful wedding songs like 'Christina Perry - A thousand Years', 'Ed Sheeran - Perfect', 'Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling in Love with You' and so so many more but some of our favourites were the ones from our favourite movies including 'James Bond theme', 'Pink Panther', 'Jurrasic Park theme', 'Time - Inception', 'A Million Dreams - The Greatest Showman', 'Kiss the Girl - The Little Mermaid', 'I see the light - Tangled' and 'Inner Light' for my husband the Star Trek fan. Lawrence is such a capable musician he was even able to flawlessly merge into 'Baby Shark' when the kids at the wedding started dancing during the reception! He travelled all the way to Tintenbar for our special day (Byron Bay Hinterland) and we will be forever grateful for how special he made our day. Thanks Lawrence!

We can’t recommend Lawrence more! He was magnificent. He was loved so much by my venue that they have contacted me for his details for future work. My dream of a violinist at my wedding came true and exceeded my idea of what that would be like! He is a must have !

We were so lucky to have Lawrence as our wedding musician. Not only is he THE nicest guy in the world (saved the day with a spare shirt when the best man had a bird poo incident just before the ceremony began), he is incredibly talented, and we got SO MUCH amazing feedback about him. Lawrence’s music had the best upbeat vibe, his live looping style is so unique and awesome. We were so happy with his performance, I highly recommend. He even learnt a few special songs we requested and did an incredible job of my entrance music, Jurassic Park, complete with dinosaur stomping at the beginning. BEST!

We couldn’t be happier with Lawrence! Absolutely beautiful music and very talented violinist. Lawrence was really easy to work with, very responsive with great repertoire (he even learned to play my favourite song which wasn’t in his repertoire, he really went above and beyond!). Lawrence had it all covered from guests gathering before ceremony, me walking down the aisle, signing the register and photos with family and friends. His music just made our ceremony magical and we got so many compliments about it! Don’t even think twice Lawrence is the man for the job!

What are some great first dance songs?

Would love some suggestions on first dance songs specifically. Something that will be great filmed for our wedding video. Thank you!

Lawrence Gratton

As an instrumentalist my list might vary from singing performers, however some favourites include:

  • You are my sunshine
  • Can't help falling in love with you
  • Love me like you do
  • A thousand years
  • I see the light (from Tangled)
  • Stand by me
  • Thinking out loud
  • Your Song
  • Love Story

Of course this choice is completely up to you! If you have a song which is meaningful to you as a couple then that would also be a great choice.

Are there additional fees to have continuous music without breaks?

Lawrence Gratton

As a violinist I would generally do 45 minute sets with a spotify playlist filling in the gaps. It does depend on what you're doing - as a DJ it's easier to do longer sets, but drumming or singing for 3 hours without a break is unrealistic. 

If you are looking for a continuous performance, I'd say 1.5 hours is the most you could reasonably ask for without a break (depending on the instrument!!) and I'd expect to pay accordingly for that.
