About

Ritual Fiddler is a wedding soloist based in Northern, MI that specializes in weaving lush sonic backgrounds to create a beautiful container for big life moments.

Solo fiddle music has created ambience and joy for weddings and community ceremonies for centuries. It’s a focused, rich, down-to-earth choice for prelude music or cocktail hours, and can be woven into your ceremony with processionals, wedding marches, or recessionals.

From smooth, droning listening tunes, to up-tempo, energetic celebratory melodies, Laurel Premo plays fiddle music that reflect her lived experience in folk culture as an Upper Midwesterner. The sound resonates with all ages. There is a sleek elegance in this heritage – one musician with one instrument, acoustically pouring out the tones and rhythms that help folks emotionally open for ceremony and bind memories together.

Premo’s repertoire is rooted in her study of Southeastern and Midwestern American fiddle music as well as fiddle and dance traditions from Finland, Sweden & Norway. Listen to a variety of music samples on www.ritualfiddler.com

Stunning Music!

We worked with Ritual Fiddler / Laurel Premo for our 2024 outdoor wedding on the beach of Lake Michigan. Laurel put together a stunning, emotive and uplifting suite of music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Laurel was professional, easy to communicate with and worked well with our other vendors. The music stands for itself and is guaranteed to give you chills. To paraphrase some of Laurel's words, the music "bound the feeling of the moment to the memory of it." To this day it hear the processional music in my head every time I relive that moment of walking down the aisle to become a wife. Thank you Laurel! We were so lucky to have you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
