Natasha (formerly Natasha Wesbonk) has been playing the violin since the age of 8; she started performing at a very young age by travelling around parts of New Zealand with her very musical family.
With a genuine love for her instrument she has enjoyed performing over the years in both formal and informal situations, from playing in orchestral concerts and bands in both New Zealand and Australia to performances at weddings, corporate or local events and providing entertainment for well known Kiwi icons. Proud to have grown up in New Zealand Natasha has enjoyed featuring with local talent and has had the opportunity to play on radio and TV
With a real passion and flare for playing many different genres Natasha has never been limited to a certain style. Having the ability to read music and play by ear, learning new songs is something that she enjoys.
Depending on the preference of the individual Natasha can offer backing tracks to her performance or if you would like the option of an accompanied instrument then please let her know.

Natasha was excellent. We had great feedback from our guests. We had a last minute change to our plans which meant we did not need Natasha to stay for after the banquet but that was our issue and no reflection on her outstanding performance. Thank you.

Hi Robyn
Apologises in the delayed reply, we have just got back from our honeymoon.
Natasha was perfect, she played all the songs we requested and it sounded wonderful. I of course was not there while she was playing music as guests arrived but I understand from my now husband it was great.
Please pass on our thanks to Natasha as we did not get to thank her on the day.
She was lovely to deal with and so helpful, would definitely recommend her for future events/weddings.
Thank you
