I’m thrilled that you’ve stopped by! My musical experience began at the age of 6 and I can’t remember a time where I wasn’t a violinist. In the last 6+ years, I’ve played for over 250 weddings and events in the Pittsburgh, PA area and for the last 3 years, in the Atlanta, GA and surrounding areas. In 2023, I moved to Charleston, SC & from 2023-2026 performed weddings in the local and surrounding areas. In June 2026, I will be returning to my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA & look forward to connecting with clientele in the area! I have a vast repertoire of music selections, but I am always open to requests. One of the biggest joys I feel as a wedding musician is setting the perfect backdrop with selections that tell the unique story of each couple. My many years of performing experience, including improvisation, allows me to adapt quickly to each wedding scenario creating a seamless flow of sound during the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, or whatever the service may be. I’d love to connect with you, so please shoot me an e-mail or message me on social & let’s chat! xoxo Christie https://www.christiebatesviolin.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-05-29
