Latest reviews of our Wedding Breakfast Musicians in Bedford

The Element String Quartet, Trio & Duo
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"We had the absolute privilege of having Caroline and Luke play violin and cello at our wedding, and we cannot recommend them enough. From the very first note, their music created such a beautiful and meaningful atmosphere. Their performance was not only incredibly talented but also full of emotion, heart, and passion. What made it even more special was their Christian worship set. As our family and friends sang along and worshipped together, it became much more than just music, it became a beautiful moment of worship, gratitude, and reflection. We could truly feel God’s presence during that time. Caroline and Luke did not just perform; they helped lead people into worship through their gifts. Their hearts for worship were so evident, and it was clear that they wanted to use their music to bless others. They were a wonderful part of our wedding day, and we are so grateful for the time, preparation, and care they put into making the evening so memorable. We would wholeheartedly recommend Caroline and Luke to anyone looking for musicians who bring not only incredible skill but also warmth, meaning, and a genuine heart behind their music. Thank you both for blessing our special day and using your gifts so beautifully."

Caroline  Violinist
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"It was so great to have Caroline as my violinist when I proposed to my partner. Communication was very easy. She was also very accommodating to my song requests despite the very short notice. She was already at the site way before the call time which made me not worry about her. My partner loved her performance too! Hope to see Caroline soon for the wedding this time! "

Polina Chaika
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Polina was nothing short of phenomenal from the moment she arrived until the very end of our event. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for what she does shone through in every single performance. Not only is she an incredibly gifted musician, but she also has such a calming and elegant presence that created the most beautiful atmosphere for our sister’s bridal shower. From the very beginning, Polina was so accommodating, understanding, and professional. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered beyond every expectation. Her music was absolutely breathtaking; so emotional, elegant, and beautifully performed. It truly elevated our event and made it feel even more magical. Our guests were completely captivated and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was. We received so many compliments about the music throughout the day, and several people even asked for her details afterwards. She has such a rare talent for creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and unforgettable. If you’re considering booking Polina, do it! You will not regret it. She is exceptionally talented, reliable, and an absolute joy to work with. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her be part of such a special occasion, and without a doubt, we will be booking her again for future celebrations. Thank you, Polina, for helping create memories that we will cherish forever. You are truly outstanding."

FAQs about hiring Wedding breakfast musicians in Bedford

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any wedding breakfast musician play my favourite song?

Professional wedding breakfast musicians will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that wedding breakfast musicians may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the wedding breakfast musician's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do wedding breakfast musicians take to set up?

Your wedding breakfast musician will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the wedding breakfast musician prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our wedding breakfast musicians are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our wedding breakfast musicians will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
