About

I'm Kristen Monnik, a wedding musician serving Montreal, Mont-Tremblant, and surrounding areas. As a classically-trained violinist with over 15 years of professional experience playing for weddings and special events, I specialize in performances that delight your guests, reflect your love story, and elevate those irreplaceable moments you'll remember forever.

My Sound

I bring your wedding soundtrack to life with live violin layered over studio-quality instrumental tracks that create the lush sound of a complete ensemble. My diverse repertoire spans several genres, ranging from classical favorites like Pachelbel's Canon in D to that romantic Bridgerton-inspired ambiance. This versatility means you can enjoy intimate sound of a violin-piano duo for your ceremony, while your cocktail hour comes alive with upbeat pop arrangements that have the energy of a full band. Professional sound equipment is included, ensuring flawless audio quality for both indoor and outdoor venues.

During our music consultation, we'll collaborate to curate a personalized setlist that captures your vision for the day. And if there's a meaningful song you'd love to hear as you walk down the aisle that isn't in my repertoire, I'll create a custom arrangement just for you.

Services & Packages

Your wedding deserves music as beautiful and intentional as every other detail you're carefully curating. My comprehensive ceremony and cocktail hour packages include a professional sound system, personalized music consultation, flexible song selection, and seamless coordination with your wedding team.

Please send me an inquiry for further details and to confirm my availability for your wedding date. Let’s start planning a beautiful soundtrack for your celebration!

Kondiaronk Belvedere Mont Royal Proposal

I can’t recommend Kristen highly enough! She played during my proposal, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the beginning she was incredibly communicative, professional, and accommodating, which gave me complete peace of mind.

Her playing was nothing short of breathtaking—she is an exceptionally talented violinist whose music created the most elegant and romantic atmosphere I could have hoped for. My fiancée and I will always remember how beautifully she elevated such a special occasion.

If you are looking for a 5 star experience, Kristen is the one!

Absolutely magical!

We could not be more thrilled with Kristen's performance at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Kristen was very accomodating and willing to play the exact music that we wanted for our ceremony. Our ceremony was Lord of the Rings themed and Kristen absolutely delivered exactly what we were looking for. It was a semi-last minute decision to hire a violinist for our wedding ceremony, and thanks to Kristen, I could not be happier with the results of that decision. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services to any couple that wants to add an authentic, personal, and magical touch to their wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.

Simply perfect

A violin will change (for the better!) how your wedding looks like and feels like. It is the best add on for your wedding. Kristen was amazing, professional, flexible, able to accommodate our requests. It changed the entire atmosphere of the ceremony. We can’t recommend it enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
