Carl Bradford - Violinist - Wedding Musician - Eastbourne, South East Event Location: Brooke Park Hotel, Canterbury, Kent Event Type: Wedding 24th June 2023
Outstanding Violinist! We booked Carl to play for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and we were so happy we did. Not only did he have an amazing repertoire of songs to suit all musical tastes but his professionalism was second to none. Carl even went above and beyond to send me a video of himself playing a specific song that I had asked for, at short notice. Our guests commented on how great it was to listen to him play and it created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding day. We can’t thank him enough!

Carl exceeded all our expectations! Carl was fantastic and all our friends and family said they felt like they were in Bridgerton and some have even booked him for their events. He was very reasonably priced and available on under 6 months notice. Made our day even more magical! Thank you again Carl!
