Mr Bernardes was amazing. He was on time for my son and daughter-in-laws intimate wedding and very personable it was an outside wedding and very cold that day but Mr Bernardes didn’t complain. He is an outstanding violinist. My son asked for additional songs 2 days prior to his wedding Mr Bernardes was very willing to play the requested music and made the wedding so special. Having Mr Bernardes play the violin was the best decision ever to make this such a great wedding day. Thank you Mr Bernardes!!
