Overview

I have been playing the violin for over 52 years. I graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University in 1978 with a Bachelor of Music Education Degree and from Illinois State University with a Master of Music Degree in Orchestral Conducting

I am available for weddings, parties, and special events. I am also able to perform with other musicians as well. I have a variety of music that ranges from traditional classical for weddings to jazz, pop and contemporary for your special event. I have the ability to use a recorded accompaniment as background for the solo violin part to enhance any performance. Special musical requests can usually be accommodated with advanced noticed.

Perfect!

Ed was an excellent communicator and learned all of the songs we requested perfectly. He even sent me a sample prior to my wedding which really put me at ease. My husband and I couldn’t be happier.

Mr Edward is simply amazing!

Our experience with Ed is a good one. We wanted to give our family a memorable Christmas Eve Carol. Ed understood the assignment and delivered. He was funny, took his time to explain the songs. He was the highlight of our memorable evening. I will hire him again and again.

Amazing!

After our musician cancelled last minute for our wedding, Ed was a lifesaver! He was so accommodating, communicative, pleasant, and played beautifully! I’m glad our original musician didn’t work out because Ed was 10 times better! Thank you for helping to make our wedding special Ed!

Beach wedding

Edward did an awesome job playing music for my daughter's wedding so relaxing to hear while my daughter walked down to the ocean front to meet her so to be husband and her awaiting guest. During the cocktail festivities he played it was refreshing and enjoyable while the guest mingled. Would highly recommend. Thank you Edward Bell.

Fall Wedding

Edward Bell is talented and very professional. My husband & I were very impressed with how great of a violinist he is. We hired Edward for our fall ceremony at the Dan’l Webster Inn in Sandwich, MA. Edward told us he could learn whatever songs we wanted to request, as long as he had time to learn. We provided five songs, he said he wasn’t familiar with and played them all beautifully come our wedding day. He allowed our ceremony to sound romantic and elegant. My wedding guests were impressed with his talent and requested his business card afterward. It was indeed a magical moment, due to Edward Bell being such a talented violinist.

Gift for the bride

I hired Ed as a violinist to play two songs as a gift to my bride on our wedding day. He decided to play accompanied by music and the first song he started and stopped the music several times and at one point announced it was in the wrong key. During the second song the background music quit halfway through and he played on until the officiant at our wedding quietly tried to get our attention for a picture. At this point Ed stopped playing and said, "what ?"... He played us one other song that he chose and at this point and we just went with it, but he was beyond unprofessional! It was just the my bride and I with a JP on the beach, but I would't want this to happen to another couple. We stayed in the moment and had a laugh, but if I had guests there I would of been embarrassed and upset.

Response from Edward Bell - Violinist:

In response to this review, I will admit that there was a problem with the technology I was using. This hadn't happened when I rehearsed the music. For this, I am deeply sorry and apologize for what had occurred. In addition, I am offering to reimburse the client a full refund of the fee. I have always strived to go above and beyond for all of my clients' requests because the music gives so much life and meaning in so many ways to each of these special events in our lives.
