Ceremony musician

You could for sure ask if they would do it together, they might even make a new friend out of it. If they don't want to work together you could always have one do the ceremony music and one of them do the song when you walk down the aisle if you want something like that.

Talk to them and see what they are comfortable doing

Will keep this in mind too!! That might be alright for them to tag team it!

I'm hoping so! I've had a difficult time trying to find an example of it. I've tried googling violin and guitar ceremony music and most of it is classical guitar with violin and no singing.

Personally, I would ask the violinist to play the ceremony, and the guitarist to play the first dance and father/ daughter dance. It totally depends on what best suits your event.

Ask them both! It would be a nice combination of folksy and a violin.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with asking them both. They don’t have to play together; they could each have their own sections. My friend had a few different musicians at her wedding. She had a pianist do the prelude and hymns. A violin duo play during the processional. And a trio sing during the signing of the registry. It worked out well and it was nice to have the different sounds during the different aspects of the ceremony.

Yeah, we'll probably ask our friend to sing/play and bounce the violin idea off her, just because we thought of her first.

I couldn't ask her just to sing though. Her and her guitar are a package deal. So if we're incorporating the violin, it would be with the guitar.

I would ask them both separately if they are willing to collaborate with one another. I'd explain it would mean a lot of they both provided music and see if you can reach a compromise (i.e. one of them sing, the other plays her violin, etc).

I feel if they are both easy going, they'd be open to it and would make the ceremony extra nice!

I would see if they would be willing to work together - one with singing only and the other with just the violin. I would ask the friend first if she would be willing to sing to a violinist and if she says yes - then ask the violinist. If she says she would rather not - tell her no problem and then politely decline the offer from the violinist.
