Hello! I'm a violinist in the Cleveland Ohio area. I travel all over Northeast Ohio to perform at special occasions such as weddings, parties, corporate events, and whatever else clients desires. I play both the acoustic and electric violin so I am able to bring either of those or both to your event. I am experienced in multiple styles of music such as Classical, Jazz, Fiddle, and other popular genres. I am a Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of music graduate and love collaborating with others.
If you are looking for other instrumentalist, I also own an LLC where I hire out other professional musicians of all sorts. Please reach out if you have any additional questions!

We heard rave reviews from all of our guests about how great Erin was. She was amazing!
Erin was professional , on time and amazing. We had so many comments from guests. She gave such a delightful and unique spin to our daughter's wedding and cocktail hour!
All I can say is hire her!!!!
We hired Erin to play for our outdoor ceremony. Wow! She was absolutely incredible and very talented. I can't count the amount of comments that we got from family and friends how much they loved the violinist and how beautiful the music was. Everybody was asking about it. And the price was very reasonable. Thank you so much for playing our wedding!
Response from Erin August, violinist:
Thank you so much! So happy to be a part of your special day!
Erin played for our ceremony cocktail hour! Her music is absolutely beautiful! Definitely recommend! Many great compliments from all the guest.
Erin was so kind, organized, and plays the violin beautifully! She knows so many songs and even learned a new one for my wedding! She has so much talent and I recommend her for your next event! Thank you so much Erin! :)
Erin did an amazing job playing at our vow renewal! She was able to meet every request we had in only a short time. She created a beautiful atmosphere! We had so many compliments! Thank you so much Erin for making our day so special! 👏🏻
Erin did a beautiful job at our daughter's baby shower. Her selection of songs was spot-on for the occasion. Erin was on time, pleasant, professional and extremely accommodating, even performing outdoors when the temps were chilly. We highly recommend her for anyone searching for a performer.
Response from Erin August, violinist:
Thank you SO much Joan!
I would highly recommend Erin to anyone that’s looking for a great show. She was very professional and her work ethic was excellent. I will give her a A++++++
Erin, did an awesome job for my surprise proposal to my now fiancé. Given the temperatures outside wasn’t the warmest, she still came through. Not only is she a talented violinist, she’s also very communicative and reliable. I highly recommend
Erin opened our Annual St. Patrick's Day event with some Irish Music that was perfect for the event setting. She is easy to deal with, on time, and one heck of a violinist. I highly reccomend her for any event.
Erin is an excellent violinist and played for our Assisted Living and Memory Care facility family event. She was perfect for our event. Guest raved on her performance and the music selection was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the music at the event and we look forward to having her play at our facility again.
Springwood's Annual Holiday Wine and Cheese Party was pure class with Erin. We will be booking for Christmas in July. : )
Beautiful performance by an accomplished violinist. Hear her once, and you will always remember her.
We booked Erin for our resident + family Holiday Dinner and she was perfect for the event! Erin provided violin music in different areas of our building (Nursing Home, Assisted Living and Memory Support) and was a hit everywhere she went. We received many compliments from families about how her music enhanced their experience. I would highly recommend her.
Erin put on a wonderful performance for annual Christmas Gala event at the Canton Regency community. The residents were engaged the entire performance and enjoyed the music she provided. She truly added elegance to our event!
Our wedding was a couple weeks ago now and everyone we talk to tells us how much they loved the violin. People thought the music was a recording until they saw Erin and everyone was in Aw. If you’re looking for a special touch to your event, she is it. I would book her a million times again. Thank you so much Erin for lending your talent to us for our wedding day ❤️
Erin played at my company's corporate Client Appreciation cocktail reception at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton, OH. Erin did a wonderful job and added a beautiful touch to our event! Erin was very professional from the beginning to end of the process. Her selection of music was perfect for our event. Erin was happy to accommodate a special song request and played it right on cue. It was a delight having Erin at our event. We were very pleased. I would definitely contact Erin again for future events and you should too!
Erin did a wonderful job playing for our wedding this past Saturday. She played pre ceremony music, our ceremony and cocktail hour. We had specific song requests that we were hoping to be played and Erin was very willing to learn and play all of them. The guests at our wedding came up to us multiple times throughout the night to mention how much they enjoyed the music. Erin was easy to contact and went above and beyond to learn music specifically for our event. I would hire her again for other events in the future!
Very good professional friend
Relaxing with the notes that she plays
Being the bride I actually didn’t even see Erin on my big day! But I heard her!! She played for our ceremony (guest seating and bridal party aisle walks). It all went so fast. So I’ve spent the last 2 days checking in with our guests and getting feedback. They all said how impressed they were with “the violinist”. She played nonstop - sitting, then standing - and sounded beautiful. I am so happy we went with a violinist and especially happy we chose Erin. Highly recommended!!! Thanks Erin!!!
Response from Erin August, violinist:
Loved playing for your special day! ❤️
Erin and her pianist did an amazing job, very easy to work with and did exactly what I asked!
Erin performed for my mothers 88th birthday at a local restaurant. She played beautifully and the the other restaurant patrons were appreciative of the performance. She did a great job!
We hired Erin to perform for 1.5 hours at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown Bar32 as part of my employer's sponsored cocktail hour/Solstice Celebration during a local tradeshow.
Leading up to the event, Erin was extremely responsive and very professional. On the event day, she arrived early and was set up and ready to go very quickly! Her music was beautiful -- it was the perfect compliment to our cocktail reception and sounded great in the venue space. I also appreciate that Erin took time to select songs that went with our Summer Solstice theme.
Erin is a true professional and would be a great asset to any event!
Erin played violin at our vow renewal ceremony, and her music made our event absolutely superb!! The tunes she played were just so beautiful, and it was a delight to hear live music as we enjoyed the company of our family and friends. Our event was so much more special with her there sharing her talent with us. We are truly appreciative of her time and gift of music!!
Erin August did a great job at our private party playing mostly contemporary tunes on her violin with backtracking. The music Created a nice atmosphere without being too intrusive. Many of the guests commented on what a nice touch it added to the party!
Highly recommend
Erin played violin at our ceremony on 5.22.22, and it was absolutely beautiful! I got a ton of compliments about the live music, and she was truly a professional. We asked Erin if she could play music from a video game we enjoy, and she was able to accommodate us with no issue. That song was at least 50% of the reason I cried immediately. It is amazing how much of a difference live music makes in a wedding ceremony, and I cannot recommend Erin enough!!
Erin has been nothing but a joy to work with. Her music is absolutely amazing and made our wedding day.
I am excited to recommend Erin for your next event. You will find her to be highly talented, professional and a pleasure to work with. Her presence and performance at our event definitely enhanced the experience of all those that attended. Thanks Erin!
I don’t have enough words to describe what a beautiful performance Erin did for our very large community open house. We heard so many compliments from our guests and residents. She played beautifully and went above & beyond in her performance.
Erin came and played a surprise 2 year anniversary dinner I planned for my boyfriend on 2/15/22. She was early, she dressed up, and she was SUPER NICE! She played for over an hour and the music was so beautiful I kept tearing up! She played special request songs, and even some of our top favorite love songs! I wouldn’t look anywhere else to book services. I’ll be calling her to come do my wedding one day. She is absolutely incredible! Don’t look anywhere else! Book Erin for your next event!!
Erin was so easy to work with and was available a week before my wedding when we decided we wanted a violinist! The music was so beautiful and I’m so glad we decided to use her, it really made the ceremony magical!
Erin played at my wedding ceremony along with two other strings players. Erin is a true professional. Not only is she a highly trained and excellent musician, she is warm and professional in her interactions. She provided suggestions and input as I was frantically trying to pin down song selections weeks before the wedding. She also coordinated bringing in additional strings players and clearly communicated the adjusted rates and availability. Erin was a true blessing in my wedding planning, making everything SO much easier. I knew I could count on her to be on time and follow cues. You won't regret hiring Erin for ANY event!
Response from Erin August, violinist:
💜thank you, Claire! It was so beautiful and wonderful being a part of your special day!
Erin was an absolutely amazing part of our special day! We hired her to play music during both our ceremony and cocktail hour and have only heard great things from our guests! Her prices were extremely affordable, she was easy to communicate our needs with, and she is skilled beyond belief. Cannot recommend her enough!
Erin played for my wedding, and it was so beautiful! She is so sweet and so professional! Do it!
We received constant compliments from our guests as to how beautiful the music during our ceremony was on our wedding. Music was one of the most important things to us for our wedding ceremony. I also had a very specific vision and songs I wanted and Erin was able to execute everything so flawlessly and seamlessly with the rest of the group. She even was able to coordinate with an outside cellist we hired for day of music also. I am so glad we were able to work with Erin for our big day and would recommend her for future big events.
Thanks again, Erin!

Thanks Paul. Much appreciated!
Erin was amazing in this whole process. I wanted to hire a Violinist as a surprise for my wife that always dreamed about waking down the aisle with a live performance.
She got us Olivia and she was perfect!! She was on time, made sure everything was set and in place without waiting for anything or anyone, started playing right on time and every ceremony piece she played was perfectly timed and transitioned.
Would definitely recommend Olivia and E August Live, LLC to anyone!
I was invited to a party where Erin was playing for a bunch of ladies sipping wine in the backyard. We had such a great time that I hired Erin to play for my friends 50th birthday garden party in the backyard. Her skills as a violinist are amazing and adds the perfect touch to any event!!
Response from Erin August, violinist:
I truly appreciate this! ❤️So much fun!
Erin was absolutely amazing to work with. Not only is she super knowledgeable and extremely talented, but she’s also just a joy to be around.

💓so sweet! Thank you!
I highly recommend Erin for your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was extremely easy to work with. Will play the music that you request including current music. She is very reasonable and will make your ceremony even more special with her beautiful music.
Erin was prompt to the event and played all the songs I asked for! She does a beautiful job and everyone loved having her! She made my day extra special.
Erin was incredible. She is very talented and extremely easy to work with. Her violin truly put our ceremony over the top and set the tone for the entire day. We couldn’t have asked for anything better for our big day!
I wanted to host a summer gathering with family and friends that would be extraordinary. Music always makes the difference! I knew the sound of a violin would make the evening magical...and it certainly did! We were all Wow’d by her performance. I’m already planning my next event with Erin August.
Response from Erin August, violinist:
Thank you so much, Michele! It was a lovely night!
Erin did an excellent job with her performance at my WilliePalooza Festival! She was so so fun on the fiddle and played a wide spectrum of music on Violin! We had a band show up super early for a later performance and do a sound check and Erin handled it with grace and class! Her music was well executed, she took request and enjoyed the party some afterwards! If you are looking to book a violinist for your wedding, party, or as a violin instructor look no further and hire Erin August!!! Thank you Erin and I hope you have a great rest of the summer!
Erin was amazing! She made my outdoor ceremony even more special!

Erin played at my outdoor wedding ceremony last fall, and it was picture perfect. She made my aisle moment a dream come true. Erin is extremely talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a special touch to your ceremony music!
She did a phenomenal job! She arrived early and played her heart out in the cold climates. She was a true trooper and very supportive. She was very informative and made sure she executed the song. Such a joy and a pleasure to work with I highly recommend her.
On Valentine’s Day, I surprised my wife of 32 years with a Zoom performance by violinist Erin August at our dinner table at our favorite restaurant. My wife was stunned by the surprise and the beauty of Ms. August’s playing. Erin was fabulous! While setting up this surprise Erin was very accommodating with the time and length of her performance. In addition, Erin incorporated some of my wife’s favorite artist’s in her performance as an added bonus! My wife said she will never this Valentine’s Day.
Erin’s fee is more than reasonable and she has a beautiful smile that puts you at ease! I strongly recommend Erin for any event you may have in mind!

I cater to my clients. I will play any style of music you request. I will play requests (some need practice ahead), I will play electric violin or acoustic (your preference). I want you to enjoy my music and will do whatever you desire!
I inspire and educate people of all ages through my passion for music. When I was 7 years old I began exploring music through violin lessons. Throughout my youth, I excelled at stringed instruments and at 17 earned scholarships to the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music in Cleveland.
I previously worked for the Rainey Institute as a violinist, teaching under-privileged children.
I also give private violin lessons, both in-person throughout the Cleveland Metropolitan Area and remotely through Zoom.
I perform at a variety of events showcasing my classically trained yet diverse eclectic skill. You can find me on the weekends in Cleveland playing with Yosemite Slim, a fun country cover band and at St. Colette Catholic Church, a spiritually inspiring place of worship.l always have an opening for an interested student.
-I am open to creative opportunities to collaborate with others.
-I love playing at weddings and special events.
-If you have any questions, comments, or just want to chat, please reach out on the contact form, and I will happily get back to you as soon as possible.
String instruments are most secure in dry and indoor spaces. I am happy to play outside, however if there is rain, I will need a covering to ensure my instrument does not get damaged.
