March 2, 2023Beautiful Music!
We are so so glad we booked with Bryan! Our original plans were interrupted by Hurricane Ian, but Bryan was so easy to work with in order to reschedule. He was even willing to play/learn music that wasn't on his set list without hesitation. He showed up early, got all set up, and played at the exact right time! Our guests were so impressed and talked nothing but wonderful things after our ceremony! Thank you for helping make our day so wonderful, and extra special <3

June 28, 2022Fabulous musician
He played for my son’s beach wedding and through the cocktail hour. His playlist is extremely long and he accommodated the complete set list that was requested. Very, very pleased with Bryan. I would have loved to hear the cello as well! Maybe the next event!
