CelebrationReviewed on December 7, 2019From Chicago, IL

Brian really blew away our guests. He took the elegance of the party to the next level. We loved him so much we asked him to stay longer! He was a complete pro and very accommodating. Will definitely book him again.

He exceeded every expectation

Review by LETICIA R.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 4, 2019From Rosemont, IL

I have to be completley honest, everything at my wedding went so fast. I did not see Brian at all nor even know where he was standing playing the violin. I had to ask my guest after where he was. I know the music was great, apparently he was there when my wedding started, I heard him play the music I requested and then just like that it was all over. I didn't even get to meet him but Thank you Brian for playing at my wedding.

:

Hi Leticia! Thanks for the review! It was disappointing we didn't get a chance to meet face to face, but it was great to interact and perform for you and all your guests at your beautiful ceremony! Thanks again, Brian

FuneralReviewed on July 15, 2019From Niles, IL

I have no words to express how thankful I am for Brian's performance during a very difficult time for our family. Brian was very professional, very responsive to questions and accommodating. I had a special request for him to play at my beloved Grandmother's funeral ceremony and he did outstanding. I would definitely recommend him. He made the ceremony so beautiful. The entire family was very pleased. What an extremely talented individual. Thank you once again Brian!

:

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Anna. It was an honor to be a part of your event to perform for your family, friends and loved ones. Thank you again and take care, Brian

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 1, 2019From Chicago, IL

Brian provided an excellent performance during our wedding on June 22nd. He was very accommodating in working with what we wanted for our ceremony. We had a great initial consultation to get to know each other about six months prior to our wedding. On the big day, he arrived early, and did a stellar job. Our guests kept asking how we found Brian, and we're still getting compliments on how professional and talented he was. BOOK HIM!!!

Thank you so much, Dustin! It was fantastic performing for you and your guests! Take care, Brian

WeddingReviewed on June 19, 2019From Chicago, IL

Amazing!! Very professional, extremely talented and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely hire Brian again. We hired Brian to play for our engagement moment in 2018 and knew he would be absolutely amazing for our wedding....and we were right. He played in the church before,during, and after the ceremony as well as the reception. Highly, highly, highly recommend Brian!! -Daiane and Vince

Hi Daiane, Many many thanks for the glowing review! It was wonderful to perform for you and your guests! Best of luck to you and Vince. Keep in touch, Brian

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on January 26, 2019From Alsip, IL

Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to meet Brian due to the blizzard chaos on our special day but the music was breath taking- exactly what I had hoped for. I couldn’t have asked for a better or more talented musician

Hi Sophia - many thanks for the glowing review! So glad everything worked out despite the harsh weather, glad we planned ahead of time. Congrats again!

Brian played at our cocktail hour for our wedding reception and was absolutely amazing. He was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. He arrived early to set up and we even had guests describe his talent as "next level". I cannot recommend Brian enough!

Review by Michelle D.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 12, 2021From Lake Geneva, WI

Brian was so incredible to work with and played so wonderfully at our wedding ceremony. We received so many compliments from family and friends who thought that having a violinist was such a special touch. I also found out a few months prior to the wedding that we needed to bring our own speaker and microphone. I reached out to Brian to see if he had one he could bring and he got back to me immediately letting me know what he could help with this. I HIGHLY recommend booking Brian for any event!

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for the review and recommendation! It was absolutely wonderful to perform for your guests and be a part of your ceremony. Congrats again. and take care! Brian

Brian is a very talented violinist. He was easy to work with and gave us great recommendations on the music choices for a Catholic wedding mass. It was a beautiful ceremony and his music was enjoyed by all.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on December 16, 2020From Houston, TX

Brian was incredible. Respectful, kind, attentive. We held a small memorial service over Zoom and he played beautifully. We discussed timing of his performance before the memorial and he always started playing at the perfect time. It really meant a lot to have someone so respectful and talented there. I can't thank him enough and would absolutely, 100% book him again for any event in the future. Thank you so much, Brian.

Thank you so much for the review, Logan, I really appreciate it!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 5, 2020From Utica, IL

I am so happy we went with Brian Ostrega to play the violin for my sons wedding procession. He was an amazing violinist! I would like to add it is hard to say something could make a wedding more romantic, however the ambiance created by Brian was above & beyond and added a level of romance to the most romantic day in someone's life! Great Job, everyone loved you!
