Breckenridge and Summit County wedding violinist
Extreme Strings drives up I-70 for weddings in Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and the rest of Summit County, with a setup that doesn't depend on an outlet or a sunny day.
Yes, Extreme Strings plays Summit County weddings. We've played a wedding at The Lodge at Breckenridge, a wedding at Copper Mountain and a private event in Breckenridge. Jared brings his own sound, can run on battery power, and plans for shade, rain and cold. A travel fee may apply outside metro Denver.
Planning for high-country weather
Summit County weddings sit above 9,000 feet, and the weather can change in an afternoon. Here's how Jared handles it:
| Condition | What happens |
|---|---|
| Strong sun | Jared needs shade to play. Venues often provide a tent or umbrella, and shade is written into the contract. |
| Light mist | A fine mist that isn't collecting on anything is fine. |
| Falling rain | Once real drops start falling, the electric gear has to get under cover, so plan a covered or indoor backup. |
| Cold | If the forecast is near 32°F, we work out a heater with you so Jared's fingers don't freeze. |
| No outlet | The setup can run on battery power, enough for about a day outdoors. For a trail ceremony, Jared quotes an all-battery setup. |
A covered deck, like this one at a wedding in EagleVail, takes care of shade and rain at the same time.
Getting there
Breckenridge is about two hours west of Denver: I-70 to Frisco, then south on Highway 9. Copper Mountain sits right off I-70, a little closer. Jared arrives about an hour before music starts to set up and sound-check.
A travel fee may apply outside metro Denver. It's in your quote up front, so there are no surprises.
What we play
Most couples book the ceremony and cocktail hour. At The Lodge at Breckenridge, Jared played the ceremony and the first dance. A ceremony usually needs about 16 to 18 songs, and cocktail hour about 20. Pick yours from the song list in your BookLive client portal; folk picks like Noah Kahan's Stick Season and Lord Huron's Ends of the Earth sit next to Pachelbel and Coldplay.

Jared has played weddings for over a decade, with 5.0 stars from 61 Google reviews. Trusted substitute violinists and backup equipment stand behind every booking, which matters when the venue is two hours up the interstate.

What if it's cold?
If the forecast is near 32°F, we work out a heater with you so Jared can play comfortably.
