Krista Solars

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life - the culmination of all the love that came before, and the beginning of the journey you will make as one, and not two. And with that perfect day, you deserve the perfect soundtrack from someone who cares deeply about you and the music to which these memories will forever be set.

As your wedding violinist, I will make your musical dreams come true with customized arrangements of your favorite songs that will wow your guests and leave them enraptured long after your big day has come and gone. Intensive preparation and years of experience and passion behind every note means you can be sure your carefully selected pieces will be perfectly performed. From the moment your guests enter your ceremony to cocktail hour and beyond, you can savor every moment with your beloved, your friends, and your family in an atmosphere filled with the romantic and fun music you’ve always envisioned.

If this is the wedding day ambiance you are dreaming of, then I invite you forward on this incredible musical voyage, with me as your co-pilot.

🚨🚨 But wait! Perhaps you're not getting married! 🚨🚨

Well then continue on, my friend!

Imagine this: you're hosting your party, and your guests keep telling you how much fun they're having, how they love everything - even better yet, that they'll never forget this night.

That IS how you want your event to go, right?? Music is often the "last thought" - and yet, it is even more often the thing that makes or breaks the whole affair!

Whether you're organizing a black tie gala, a birthday party, or looking for that "WOW!" factor to start off a convention or meeting, a violinist who has studied at prestigious music schools, is the four-time state of Ohio fiddle champ, and has played hundreds of private and corporate events in Las Vegas, Nevada, and all over the United States is a pretty good bet.

Wearing everything from sequin dresses to black gowns, playing pop, rock, R&B, country, and classical music, my performing experience spans over thirty years and more zip codes than I can count. I come ready to perform to perfection at your party, complete with a professional sound engineer, premium sound system, customized "karaoke" style backing tracks with arrangements curated specifically for maximum fun and joy, and an extensive song list for you to choose your perfect party playlist from. Find that "your song" isn't on there? No problem; simply mention it during the booking process and I'll learn, memorize, and create an arrangement of it just for you!

What does this mean for you...?

It means that when you hire me, you aren't just getting "another violinist". Throw ordinary, boring, out of tune, and missing the mark out the window. You're getting an experienced professional that you can entrust to leave your guests wowed and talking long after the day of your event has come and gone.

After all, a violinist playing Earth, Wind & Fire is pretty cool; one who can break into Devil Went Down To Georgia is also fun. Oh, and then there's the lush, dreamy melodies of Ellie Goulding, the sweetness of Ed Sheeran, and the irresistible dance beats of Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars. And the night isn't complete without at least one verse of "Don't Stop Believin'"... am I right?

Or perhaps you'd like elegant, sophisticated classical music for your party... after all, nothing makes people sigh like Brahms, feel happy like Mozart, or be thoughtful like Bach.

Still wanting something a little more unique? I also have a whole playlist of country tunes, a collection of Celtic songs, and even have the ability to play an entire event on a Baroque-style violin. If you can envision it, I can bring it to life.

So what are you waiting for? Contact me today, and don't waste another moment on making your musical dreams come true.

Love,
Krista

Krista Solars has performed on national television with Reik and Chayanne at the Latin Grammys and Latin Billboard Awards, with Imagine Dragons for the Stanley Cup in 2018, with Wayne Newton, and - as a member of various ensembles – has opened for superstars Blondie, Rachel Platten, Pentatonix, Ted Nugent, and Lenny Kravitz. She has performed all over the United States, and in Canada, with various ensembles spanning her 28-year career.

Krista is the four-time state of Ohio fiddle champ, winning countless other competitions around the Midwest in her twenty years of participating in local and regional fiddling contests. She holds a Bachelor's and Master's, both in Violin Performance, from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music respectively. For four years, Krista lived and worked in Las Vegas, performing at every major casino property in private/corporate settings, as well as lounges, playing pop, rock, and country music covers, on both acoustic and electric violin. Currently, Krista is working on a collection of original songs, soon to be released.

For acoustic performances: stage with roof overhead in case of inclement weather, and lighting as might be appropriate. (We do not have any lighting of our own.)

For amplified performances: if you provide the sound system, Krista will need an XLR with phantom power (for DI box / pedalboard), a place to plug an A/C adapter (pedalboard), one stage monitor, and one vocal microphone (if speaking is desired; this is at event planner's discretion). If WE provide sound system, all we need is a place to plug in A/C adapters nearby; we will take care of the rest. In EITHER case, if the event is outdoors, overhead roof in case of inclement weather is still required, and we do not have any lighting equipment, so that will need to be taken care of by appropriate personnel.
