Joe Molinaro, Violinist/ DJ

Joe Molinaro is an experienced wedding violinist and DJ based in Pittsburgh, PA. Joe offers a range of services, including music and audio engagement and, of course, energetic renditions of your favorite songs on the violin. Joe is the perfect choice for couples looking to add something unique and special to their wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing.

Exceptionally talented, Joe Molinaro grew up in a family of wedding planners and musicians. Having earned a violin degree from the prestigious IU Jacobs School of Music, his talent and experience have only grown. He has directed school orchestras, taught music in private schools, and toured internationally with his original songs. Over the years, Joe has performed at a range of weddings, from classical traditional weddings to eclectic off-grid elopements. Joe will do it all from prelude to after-hours dancing.

Imagine your guests arriving to the ceremony while listening to classically-styled violin music. You and the wedding party enter to your favorite music played live. During cocktails guests are regaled by familiar pop and rock hits played on violin over beats. Then the violinist gets on the mic, gathers the guests' attention with wit and grace, and breezes the wedding party through grand entrances, first dances, and toasts.

If you want to dance to your favorite music and want your guests to fill the dance floor, but also want to cultivate a particular mood, you will be in good hands. The night will be filled with familiar songs that cycle through eras and styles so everyone gets drawn to the dance floor. Every group is different and Joe tailors his selections to suit each family's unique style, partly by working with clients and partly by intuition. With Joe Molinaro as the DJ, your dance floor will be full!
