Reviews for Joel Grainger (Live Looping Violinist)





Amazing Violinist, Beautiful Music
Exceptional Violinist

WOW, such a talent!!
As others have said, the only regret I have is that I didn't have much time to listen to him myself on my wedding day (due to being taken for photos etc), I wish I could have been a guest at my own wedding. I just hope we get invited to another wedding where Joel is playing!!
Thank you so much for your amazing music, Joel.
Harry & Lauren Done

Absolutely brilliant
He was professional, easy to get hold of and we would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Thank you

Amazing addition to our wedding day!
All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed his performances which definitely stood out as a highlight. He was professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented...also very understanding and accommodating when we changed a few things at last minute - sorry again!
We’re so glad we had him as part of our wedding. Highly recommend!
Thank you again!
Mr & Mrs Tan.

Fantastic Performer
Incredibly professional, and a clearly talented musician. Would book again for other events in a heartbeat.
Wow, Joel truly exceeded all our expectations!
From the outset, Joel made the entire process seamless and stress-free, taking the time to understand our vision and the atmosphere we wanted to create for our special day.
On the day itself, our guests noted how Joel’s music added to the ambiance and captured the feel of the day. We loved Joel's ability to mix between classic and contemporary from Pachelbel's Canon to a cover of Clocks by Coldplay. Joel's performance was a highlight of our day and we are so thankful for how his music brought everything together. We would recommend Joel to anyone looking to make their day unforgettable!

When I was getting ready to walk down the aisle with my dad and I heard Joel playing it was just magical.
He was super easy to get in touch with if we needed anything and very very helpful.
I would recommend him to everyone, he was just fantastic.
Thank you so, so much!

Best choice ever!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Just breathtaking..
Honestly, I don't know where to start with thanking Joel.
Originally when looking for musicians, we stumbled across Joel on Hitched and thought, is he too far away? Is he out of our budget? I am SO glad that I looked through those minor details as honestly, he is just incredible at what he does.
As soon as I listened to Joel's music I knew he was perfect for our day. Along with the other glowing reviews that solidified it!
My one wish was that I was a guest at our own wedding to enjoy Joel in all the glory. We were able to listen to a couple of songs but I wish I could have just sat and listened to him all day. He has a next level skillset, and his professionalism and friendliness did not go unnoticed.
He is also the one supplier that every single guest was raving about and still talks about to this day. Perfection across every level.
BOOK HIM!
Thanks again Joel,
Holly & Will x

Joel was the perfect addition to our wedding
One of the best decisions for our wedding!!
Our only regret was not having more time to sit and watch Joel play on the day but we had a lovely little moment together watching him perform a special song he had kindly learnt for us. 1000% would book again!!

Absolutely brilliant!
