    Just wow !!!!

    I contacted Joel very late in the day as I had arranged a Christmas wedding at short notice. He was amazing and really helpful and flexible. As for his performance I can’t really find the words to explain how amazing and talented he is. His presence and music made my day and my guests were blown away and so complimentary. My only regret is that he had to stop playing and leave at some point ! A super chill, great guy that is just the most talented violinist and performer !!!! I need to plan another event of some kind just to have an excuse to book him again - wedding re-do next year was my suggestion to the hubby 😂

    Thank you!

    I have been a fan of Joel’s musical performances, compositions and arrangements for around 15 years. When it came to planning our wedding, there was absolutely no question of who we needed to perform. I couldn’t wait to walk down the aisle to his beautiful original composition. Joel set the tone for the entire day, from the intimate lake-side ceremony set, to the upbeat pop covers at our sunny courtyard reception, he was phenomenal. Joel helped to plan the song selections to match the flow of the day and he was prompt, professional and respectful. Guests still ask who the ‘amazing violinist was’ and although I would love to keep it as our secret, Joel deserves the recognition for his outstanding talent, creative flair and attention to detail.

    So so good

    We first discovered Joel on Spotify, and after checking out his tracks (and videos), we knew he was perfect for our wedding.

    Joel was absolutely brilliant on the day, playing for our ceremony and drinks reception. He even arranged a special track for my entrance which was so beautiful!

    So many of our guests told us how much they loved his music and we really couldn't be happier with his amazing contribution to our day!

    Thank you so much again

    Absolutely incredible!

    We found Joel through a sponsored post he had shared and remember saying to each other “wow this is absolutely incredible, could you imagine if we had him play on our wedding day”. Of course we made contact with Joel shortly after to enquire and we were so happy to have been able to book Joel to play on our special day.

    The music shared on our wedding day was an honour to listen to. A highlight for us was sitting at the table signing the marriage certificate and commenting on how beautiful Joel’s music was in that moment. Our entrance song was something Joel had learnt especially for that moment and hearing it brought so much emotion to the room. It was absolutely perfect Joel and we cannot thank you enough.

    Our guests were blown away with the how incredible Joel was and we are so thankful for the music shared with us. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

    Incredible - 100% recommend

    Joel was absolutely amazing! From guest arrival to the ceremony and reception drinks, he created a magical and timeless atmosphere that perfectly suited our wedding. His playing was both calming and joyful, setting the tone beautifully and adding an extra layer of elegance to every moment. Guests kept commenting on how wonderful and enchanting the music was, and it truly made the day feel even more special. Joel’s talent, professionalism, and warmth made him a fantastic part of our celebration.

    Incredible Violinist Who Made Our Day Magical

    Joel was absolutely fantastic and brought such a special touch to our wedding. From the moment he started playing, the atmosphere transformed — elegant, emotional, and unforgettable. His talent is undeniable, and the music created such a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and reception.

    He was also a pleasure to work with: professional, reliable, and so accommodating with our song requests. Many of our guests commented on how amazing he was, and it’s something that really stood out about the day.

    If you’re looking for a musician who will add warmth, class, and that extra spark of magic, I couldn’t recommend Joel highly enough.

    Outstanding Musician & Professional!

    I first saw Joel many years ago busking in Cambridge and have been a huge fan of his style of music/performance ever since. Recently, he performed at our wedding, and we were absolutely blown away - as were our guests!

    From my initial enquiry through to the day itself, Joel’s communication was prompt, clear, and professional. He is not only incredibly talented but also warm and approachable. We especially loved the wide selection of songs he offered - a great mix of modern and classic choices.

    Our ceremony was made even more special and memorable thanks to Joel’s performance. So many of our friends and family commented on how amazing he was! If I could give 10 stars I would, and I wholeheartedly recommend Joel to anyone.

    Joel, thank you again for playing such a meaningful part in our day. Your performance helped make it even more magical and unforgettable.

    Amazing Violinist, Beautiful Music

    From the moment we saw clips of Joel playing Violin, we knew we wanted him for our big day. Joel was so lovely and made the effort to come all the way from York to our wedding in Bicester! The music really added to our special day and everything about it was so beautiful. Thank you Joel!!!

    WOW, such a talent!!

    I have to say Joel was the vendor I was most excited about when I booked him for my wedding in May and he didn't disappoint. We have had multiple guests mention to us how amazing and talented he was, and how much they enjoyed listening to him play during the drinks reception. I don't think I will ever forget hearing the sound of him playing just before walking down the aisle, it is a special moment that will replay in my head for a very long time.

    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.

    Exceptional Violinist

    Joel was a dream to have on our day, he arrived and provided no fuss, he was clear and precise before the day, didn't need constant checking in on and was always quick to reply before the day, he performed incredibly on the day just like all his demos online. A number of guests mentioned that watching him perform was one of the highlights of the day and i feel incredibly lucky that we were able to book him for ours.
