Unfortunately, we are fully booked for the 2025 season and have closed bookings for the year. If you’re interested in securing a date for 2026, we’ll begin accepting bookings in late June.

Again, I’m so sorry for the inconvenience and truly appreciate all the support we’ve received over the past year!

Mari Hashimoto, Violinist, is a professional violin player based out of Greenville, SC. With over two decades of experience, know that she can make your celebrations all the more memorable.

Services Offered

Mari's performances are rooted in story-telling. Through music, especially classical music, she wants all in attendance to be transported and immersed in romance. She is also well-versed in upbeat contemporary music and can put on a show solo or as part of an ensemble. She can make the latter possible because she is the violinist for Carolina Primrose, a string quartet that serves the Western North Carolina and Charlotte Metropolitan area. Mari's wedding package includes the following:

  • Prelude
  • Seating
  • Arrival of the wedding party
  • Your entrance
  • Recessional
  • Postlude

Mari also offers various add-ons such as, but not limited to, the first dance, cocktail hour, and reception. Recently, she has also added an electric violin, backing track, and amp to her variety of services!

Wonderful musicianship and professional communication

We chose ViolinMari to provide a violin-viola duo for our wedding and cocktail hour, and we couldn't have been happier with the choice! Leading up to the event, Mari was proactive and professional with communications. She worked with us to help us choose the perfect songs for our ceremony to match the tone we wanted. Her available selection had everything we needed, but we had a couple unusual requests for songs that were special to us and she was happy to accommodate with custom arrangements. To help us decide between a couple songs, she made recording so we could hear what the string versions would sound like, and she also sent audio files of the custom arrangements so we could listen in advance and know they met our expectations. Mari provided classical music for the ceremony and contemporary for the cocktail hour, and we were pleased with all of it. We loved the tone the music set, and our guests loved the music, too!

Great violinist for a perfect day. :D

We couldn't have asked for a more amazing violinist for our wedding day. She was absolutely epic — not only did she bravely play through the cold wind without missing a beat, but she also learned our favorite video game theme song just for us. I got to walk down the aisle to Riders of Rohan also! It meant the world to hear something so personal and special as we walked down the aisle. She was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish, and brought such a magical, emotional touch to our ceremony. We’re so grateful for her talent, her dedication, and the beautiful atmosphere she helped create on our big day. Highly, highly recommend!

Great customer service

She was very attentive and though there was some pause in communication due to the hurricane, she made sure to make me feel like that everything would be OK, and it was! Great musician and amazing person.
