  10/10, exactly what we wanted

  Absolutely zero complaints, took guidance on songs beforehand, turned up, performed fantastically, didn't require extra input which was much appreciated on an already busy day, and even took a couple of requests over the wedding breakfast on an ad hoc basis which was a crowd pleaser. Would gladly recommend to anyone.

  Absolute Vibe Bringer

  We hired Carl to play at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception last month and would absolutely recommend his services. We got married in an old Tudor property and wanted a violinist who could really bring that Bridgerton vibe to some of our favourite songs. Carl did exactly that and set the mood for some of the most important moments of our lives. Thank you, Carl, for the joy you brought with your excellent violin playing; money well spent!

  Thankyou Yasmin, really appreciate the feedback and it was a pleasure to perform some of your favourites at such a wonderful venue. All the best, Carl

  Just incredible

  We couldn’t have been happier with Carl who played during the drinks reception at our wedding. He was a surprise for my now husband, and it made the moment even more special. The music was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our guests.
  
  There was a fantastic choice of music to suit our tastes, and the whole process of organising everything with Carl was so easy from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, and made everything completely stress-free.
  
  We received so many compliments from our guests, and the performance really added something memorable to our day. We would highly recommend Carl and his team to anyone looking for a talented violinist for a wedding or special event!

  Hi Michelle, it was my pleasure to perform for your wonderful drinks reception. Wishing you both all the best, Carl

  A wonderful addition, would totally recommend!

  We had Carl for our wedding at Cottesmore and he brought such a wonderful energy and elegance to the event!
  
  He played during the aisle and ceremony, and in the cocktail hour that followed. He had such a large repertoire of music across generations and genres, so there was a song for every part of our day!
  
  Communicated really well throughout the process, and would 100% recommend!

  Brilliant violinist

  We knew a violinist was exactly what we wanted and Carl fitted the bill from the moment we contacted him.
  
  He gave us so many options of music and sent us samples which made our choice very easy.
  
  Everyone at the wedding were impressed with Carl. We had kept it a secret that he was going to be there so it just gave that extra wow factor. Id highly recommend him to anyone.

  Hi Daniel, thanks so much for the review. Really enjoyed playing for your ceremony in Lewes and wish you both all the best, Carl

  Absolutely wonderful!

  Carl played live violin music for our ceremony and drinks reception on the 27th of March and he was absolutely wonderful. He created the exact atmosphere we were aiming for: a beautifully emotional ceremony and a fun, uplifting drinks reception. We loved his versions of modern songs, and how skillfully he played various Lord of the Rings tracks (as pre requested by the LoTR-loving groom!) He was also very helpful and professional during the planning process, offering many choices and the opportunity to tailor music to reflect our personal tastes. Carl is a very talented violin player and we received many compliments from guests :)

  Thankyou Lucy, I appreciate the kind words and it was a pleasure to perform for you. All the best, Carl

  Amazing violinist!

  Carl was absolutely amazing at our wedding. His communication prior to the day was excellent and he is such a lovely guy. Carl provided a vast repertoire list we could choose from and even learnt a special request for us. His music set the scene beautifully and he was a real highlight of our day, we highly recommend!

  Barn wedding : welcome drinks

  Carl played for us during welcome drinks at our son’s recent wedding .
  He was both smart and professional . He researched what our choice of music would be prior to the event and played the ‘Bridgerton type’ music that the bride likes . His being at the venue was a complete surprise for her and he kept the secret very well .
  We wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again and would recommend his playing .

  Carl Bradford Violin's reply:

  Thanks very much Kim, it was a privilege to perform for you all and the fact my performance was a surprise made it even more special. All the best, Carl
