Latest reviews of our Wedding Breakfast Musicians in Brighton and Hove

"Fantastic. South Downs Strings played at our wedding and I'm so pleased they did. The music was absolutely beautiful, with a brilliant selection of songs and they even managed to sneak Star Wars past the wife before she noticed. My only regret is that with everything else going on I didn't get chance to see more of them. Sheraine is fantastic to deal with and they were one of the least stressful parts of the day and planning. Huge thank you!"

Meg hired Steve Turner for a Christmas party (available in Brighton and Hove)

Verified Review, 4 December 2025

"Michael was an absolute lifesaver at our wedding. Despite unexpected delays from the venue, he was incredibly accommodating and stayed to play his full set without hesitation. His kindness, professionalism, and patience truly meant the world to us. Not only is Michael a genuinely lovely person, but he is also an exceptionally talented violinist. His music was nothing short of phenomenal and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding breakfast - elegant, heartfelt, and beautifully performed. So many of our guests commented on how magical the music felt. We are beyond grateful to Michael for helping make our day so special, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He truly made our wedding breakfast unforgettable."

FAQs about hiring Wedding breakfast musicians in Brighton And Hove

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.
