by New Zealand's premier Wedding & Event Violinist.

With over 15 years on global stages, Arna Morton is a defining, genre-fluid violinist whose career spans elite classical concert halls and massive commercial music festivals. Following a distinguished tenure as a principal musician with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, Arna now performs full-time as a solo artist for prestigious classical and commercial concerts, high-profile corporate galas, and bespoke luxury weddings.

Recent career highlights include performing as a featured Solo Artist alongside SYNTHONY and SIX60 for the historic, sold-out Once In A Lifetime inaugural concert at Ōtautahi Christchurch's One New Zealand Stadium, and being handpicked to perform alongside Europe's elite musicians for Orchestre Visionnaire's inaugural concert at the legendary Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

“Having performed now on such a diverse range of stages, I’ve come to realise there is no one setting that lights me up more than another because good music is simply good music, no matter the context. Above all else, I am just deeply passionate about the transformative power of live music and the profound connection it creates with my audiences and my clients.”

Whether you desire relaxed, classical melodies for your wedding ceremony, Bridgerton-style pop covers for your cocktail hour, or high-energy dance sets for your reception party, Arna can curate a bespoke soundtrack that complements your unique love story, captivates your guests, and elevates your wedding day for a truly unforgettable celebration.

UNLIMITED BY GENRE

Unmatched in artistry

A photographer may expertly capture what your wedding looks like, but the music preserves how your day felt.

Music holds such an extraordinary power over our emotions and our memories. More than that, live music in particular has an incredible ability to enhance the natural collective effervescence of a gathering that allows for a much richer “in-the-moment” experience, resulting in deeper, more profound memories shared by you and your guests.

But what if I told you there was a way to elevate the power of music on your wedding day even further?

It all comes back to novelty.

Because there really is a distinct magic created when the melodies of your life’s most meaningful songs blend with the heartfelt, expressive voice and classical mastery of my violin artistry. And it is this very magic that cements the memories of your special day with even deeper nostalgia.

Long after many anniversaries have been celebrated, hearing those meaningful melodies again will instantly unlock the exact feeling, energy, and atmosphere of each extraordinary moment of your love story’s biggest milestone.
