I provide music for weddings, coporate or private events, cocktail parties, and receptions. I would be pleased to play at a restaurant for lunch or dinner. I cover many generes of music: light classical, standards, pop, and show tunes. I play violin, viola, cello, and piano.
Bryan did a wonderful job for my daughter's wedding. Everyone was impressed!
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
Response from Music by Bryan:
Thank you, Jackie! It was my pleasure to play for your wedding. The ceremony was beautiful. Congratulations and best wishes to you both.
Bryan did an outstanding job for us last week , an incredible musician , would recommend him every time

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!
Bryan was very professional, prepared, and flexible. Everyone at our wedding enjoyed his music and he was able to play difficult requests.
We hired Bryan for our outdoor wedding/indoor cocktail hour. My only regret is not hiring him for the entire reception as well. Incredible music, perfect volume both indoors and outdoors. Bryan is timely, generous, knows how to read the room, went above and beyond by offering to learn special songs for our party. He and his music enhanced the entire wedding experience. 10/10. Thank you Bryan!
Bryan was class all the way. Prompt, professional, performed requested songs beautifully. He was a huge hit for my Dad’s party and Italian family reunion!

We had a great experience with Bryan as our violinist for our home Holiday party. He arrived early to set up and was playing beautifully on our front porch to welcome our guests. After a bit, he moved inside and continued to play holiday classics at just the right volume. Perfect!
Response from Music by Bryan:
Thank you so much, Lisa! It was my pleasure to play for your party. I really enjoyed it and am so pleased that you did too.
Brian played some very nice music with his violin. I would recommend him for any event that you may have.
