    Wonderful Wedding Music

    We cannot recommend Carl enough, he was so helpful and responsive when we were booking - and then on the day he was amazing, and our guests absolutely loved it!

    Exceptional Violinist

    Having Carl play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From the very first note, their music added something truly special — it created an atmosphere that was both intimate and unforgettable.

    We’d spoken with Carl beforehand about the kind of vibe we wanted, and they were so easy to work with. They listened, offered great suggestions, and helped us pick the perfect mix of songs.

    On the day, Carl was calm, professional, and just lovely to have around. They played so beautifully that several of our guests came up to us afterwards just to say how moved they were by the music.

    If you’re thinking about live music for your wedding, we can’t recommend Carl enough. Their talent, warmth, and care really helped make our day feel special.

    Thankyou Jamie, it was a privilege to perform for you both at the East Sussex National, a beautiful ceremony on a sunny spring day. Wishing you both all the best, Carl

    Romantic vibes 🩷

    Carl played the violin beautifully during cocktail hour at my sister’s wedding in Brighton. He created an ambience that was talked about very positively among guests. He was very responsive and accommodating as I provided a set list I wished for him to play. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.

    Carl Bradford Violin's reply:

    Thankyou Rochelle! I really enjoyed playing for you all at Hotel Du Vin in Brighton- some great song requests too! All the best and congratulations to the happy couple, Carl

    Perfect for my Wedding

    Carl was such a wonderful surprise for all of our guests. The range of music he plays will suit everyone’s tastes in fact I booked him due to the very Bridgeton styled music ie Coldplay and many others, his music list is massive.
    Carl is very easy going very professional I would not hesitate in recommending him to others. He is going to play at my Goddaughters wedding next year. I get to hear his music once again. Fabulous!

    Carl Bradford Violin's reply:

    Thank you very much Sonia! Wishing you both all the best. Looking forward to playing at your Goddaughter’s wedding next year. See you then, Carl

    A beautiful accompaniment to our wedding ceremony

    Carl was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, listening to what we would like and offering recommendations. The music was beautiful and complimented our wedding ceremony perfectly.

    Carl played a mixture of classical and modern, and also learnt one of our favourite songs, which really made it feel personal. I would highly recommend Carl, thank you for helping making our wedding day so special.

    Thankyou Jade, it was my pleasure to perform for your beautiful wedding ceremony. Wishing you both all the best, Carl

    Wedding violinist - Carl

    Carl is a very talented musician and provided us with a very large repertoire, plenty of communication before the date which put us at total ease. On the day, he played the music we wanted and all the guests commented on his range, talent and professionalism. Would highly recommend using Carl for your next event or big day. Thanks Carl

    Thanks so much Karl! A privilege to play for you and your guests for your big day. Wishing you both all the best, Carl

    Great service

    Carl was great, you don’t want to have to do too much with a supplier, but Carl turned up to the venue was set up and playing by the time we came out of our ceremony. He also reached out to talk about the type of music we wanted and his split set list was helpful.

    Thank you so much for a perfect ceremony

    Carl made our ceremony perfect. I had asked for a particular song for our entrance song and it was better than I could have imagined. My guests all commented on how amazing he was and how lovely it was for them entering our wedding. Thank you for making it so perfect for us.

    Carl Bradford Violin's reply:

    Thankyou Mikaela, it was a pleasure to perform for you on your special day. I wish you all the best in your future together :) Carl

    Excellent from booking to performance

    I booked Carl Bradford to perform at my daughter's wedding reception. He was very quick to respond to my questions, he went the extra mile to arrange the songs we chose and performed them beautifully. He went through our arrangements with me in order to devise the best times, as I had not booked a musician before, this was immensely helpful and much appreciated. Guests were all complimentary and said how wonderfully he performed the much loved pieces we selected. I cannot recommend him highly enough. His professionalism made everything easy to organise, he worked with us to ensure the dances were well-timed and went smoothly with our arrangements and his performance was fantastic, we could not have wished for more.

    Carl Bradford Violin's reply:

    Many thanks Lavinia, it was wonderful to perform for the first dances at a lovely reception. Wishing you all the best, Carl
