Christine Faught has been playing weddings, receptions, faires, festivals, and private events for over 20 years. She is happy to arrange any piece you want to hear, or you can select from her extensive catalog of classical, jazz, Irish fiddle, fusion, and pop music.
She is available as a solo acoustic or electric artist, or with backing tracks.
Lucked into finding Christine as she was located pretty close to the kinda out of the way venue. I wanted to add some acoustic strings to my daughter’s wedding (she was going to use a DJ for the ceremony). This was the perfect upgrade. Christine worked with the bride beforehand to plan. She was on time and played really nicely. The event was pretty traditional and Christine played a mix of classical and folk. I don’t know music well but guest commented that they enjoyed it and recognized the music. Bride said, “it sounded great and she was great to talk to beforehand”. :)
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
It was an honor to play at your daughter's wedding - what a beautiful ceremony at a lovely location! Thank you for including me as part of it.
Christine absolutely made my party! I highly recommend and look forward to engaging her for my next party that I want to add a touch of elegance to.
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share Christmas music with so many lovely people! It was a wonderful time and I hope you have a lovely holiday.
Christine is highly skilled, has beautiful tonal quality, and is a lovely person! She arrived early, totally prepared with the music I sent her, and had invested extra time writing additional creative arrangements. We can't wait to work with her again!
Christine is amazing. She is so kind and her music is incredible!

Great communicator, incredibly nice, and wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
Christine was amazing! She did such a great job and played the exact song that I wanted! That violin can bring a tear to your eyes. Highly recommend for your wedding ceremony.

Megan, it was an honor to get to be a part of your beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much for the opportunity, and I wish you the absolute best for the future.
Wonderful ! On time and ready to go :) would recommend to anyone looking for a great violinist
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you so much. Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and you sang like an angel.
We had a great experience with Christine for our recent client party. She was so flexible and listened to our needs, was very prompt, professional, and delivered great music for our event - Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you for your glowing review! I truly had a blast providing music at the party, and am grateful for having been given the opportunity. It was a lovely evening filled with lovely people, and a wonderfully well-organized event.
Christine was the perfect choice for my wedding. From beginning to end she was so wonderful to work with. She shared her catalog with me and worked to help me select the absolute best mix of music for both my ceremony and reception. For the ceremony she played classical selections solo. During the reception she was accompanied by her husband on percussion and daughter on vocals to really entertain my guests with a great mix of music from nerdy tunes to popular modern selections. I would give them a rating of 16 stars if I could. Thank you so much for your amazing contribution to our wedding. It was the best day ever and you were a BIG part of that. Margo
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you, Margo! It was such a treat to get to be part of your wedding. We all had a fantastic time and have been talking about it all week. Thank you for being so organized and communicative, and most of all CONGRATULATIONS to you and Kim! You two are such a beautiful couple. ❤️❤️❤️

My wedding ceremony couldn't have been as magical if Christine wasn't there with her husband. She reached out to me and asked me about my music perference, wardrobe and everything else she needed to make sure she had everything exactly as I wanted it. Everyone at my wedding asked about the musicians and said they loved the music and the style clothing they had (renaissance). It was truly an awesome experience.
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you so much for your review, Ruby! We really had a blast playing for your wedding... what a unique and beautiful day! I wish you the best for your future!
Christine played at my daughter's wedding and did a terrific job! Her professionalism made the entire process from getting a quote to the actual playing at the ceremony very easy. She always responded quickly to either myself, or my daughter, no matter what time of day. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her for any special occasion. Christine, Thank you so much for making my daughter's wedding day complete!
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you, Cindy! I loved playing for your daughter and really appreciate that you chose me. The wedding was so beautiful and meaningful, and I am delighted that I got to be a part of it. Thank you!
My mom booked Christine for our wedding at A&M Gardens and we could not have been happier with her performance! She did an AMAZING job and was extremely patient and accommodating throughout all of the planning process. We asked her to play a few specific songs during the ceremony which she had no problem doing so. Our guests were all very impressed with her talent and really enjoyed everything she played. We will definitely be referring her to our friends/family and recommend booking her for any event. Thank you again Christine for a beautiful performance!
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you for your kind review, Heather! I really enjoyed getting to play for your wedding, and thought it was just a perfectly beautiful ceremony all around. Best wishes from the bottom of my heart to you and your husband. May your life together be filled with joy and harmony!
We used elegant pop music for our wedding in October. Everything about her was amazing. I couldn’t of asked for anyone better. She was so well-prepared, so great at keeping in communication and so well practiced. Everyone loved her. I would definitely recommend her for any of your special events.
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you so much for your review, Mel! Your wedding was such a joy to be a part of! I wish you the absolute best.
Pop Violinsit was absolutely wonderful for our wedding ceremony in Fort Worth in the Water Gardens. I gave her a few specific songs to learn, and she played traditional music throughout. She adapted to time issues and was very intuitive when watching the ceremony and picking up cues. I would certainly hire her again!
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you so much, Chris. Your wedding was so personal and beautiful, and I wish you the absolute best in your marriage! Congratulations!
Christine was so kind and professional throughout the whole planning of my wedding ceremony music. She gave excellent recommendations for songs and even found another wonderful violinist to create a duet for our wedding. Christine was very flexible and worked hard to make sure everything sounded great throughout the ceremony. I'd love to book again for a future event!!
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:

WE LIKED HER SO MUCH WE INCLUDED HER AND HER BOYFRIEND IN OUR DINNER PLANS AFTERWARDS. WE LOVED HER. GAIL
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you for your review, Gail! I'm so, so glad that we were able to scoot things around in order to give you the wedding you deserved!
Christine made our special day even BETTER! We hand selected five songs in which she learned, mastered and perfected to my fine taste! I will definitely be referring her to friends & family. While I won't be having another wedding (LOL), I WILL find an event to book her at again soon!
Response from Green Man Clan Violinist:
Thank you so much, Brandon and Jesse! Your wedding was such fun to be a part of, and I loved the opportunity to give you the specific songs you asked for. Seeing the tears of joy during your first dance almost made me cry, too. It was beautiful.

You can expect me to supply my own gear (stand, music, instrument, chair, amplifier, microphone, cables, electric cord). If you need amplification, I will require an outlet to plug in to... but that's all!
You can expect clear communication and reliable service. I will always do exactly what I say I will do, and I will ask you for clarification instead of assuming I know what you need.
You can expect me to show up early.
You can expect me to expertly arrange a particular song for your event if you request it, as long as I have at least a month to do so.
You can expect me to provide my own backtracks if you want to hear a multi-tracked performance.
You can expect me to deliver a professional, respectful classical performance, OR you can expect me to deliver a fun, frisky nontraditional performance if that's what you want!
I majored in music at Western Washington University (Bellingham, WA) and the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, CUNY (Queens, NY). I studied privately for several years with renowned pedagogue Burton Kaplan, who himself was a student of the legendary Dorothy DeLay. I have performed professionally everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the local coffee shop. I’ve lived in Texas since 2007.
I have a passion for quirky, fun music but am also in love with the classics. If you're looking for someone who is versatile, affordable, friendly, and consistent - look no further.
I perform as a solo violinist, or with backing tracks as requested. I also have many musician friends and can often bring in another performer (for a fee) to add more depth to an event if needed.
I need to know in advance if I have to provide my own stand light.
If amplification is needed, all I need is an outlet. I will bring my own cables, amp, and electric cord.
If the event is outdoors and there is rain, I absolutely need cover.
My set list is anything you request! Please just ask. Making your event a success is my priority.
I play all of the typical wedding pieces in the classical genre, as well as often-requested pop songs like "A Thousand Years", etc.
Non-typical list examples (this is not comprehensive!):
Irish fiddle music of all sorts
Game of Thrones: main theme
Rains of Castamere
Concerning Hobbits
Misty Mountains Cold
Fraggles: Let Me Be Your Song
Miri it Is, Sumer is Icumen In
Sailor's Prayer
Greensleeves
Scarborough Faire
Wild Mountain Thyme
He's a Pirate
