Ceremony & Cocktail Hour 10/10 Vibes

Chris was absolutely incredible! We cannot say enough wonderful things about him. From the ceremony to cocktail hour, he played all of our requests and brought the entire atmosphere to life. His music was beautiful, his talent is undeniable, and he truly helped create the exact vibe we envisioned for our wedding. We received SO many compliments from our guests about him and his music!

Beyond his incredible talent, Chris was such a pleasure to work with. He was helpful, offered great advice when it came to choosing the right musical vibes, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect. We are so grateful we had him as part of our wedding day. If you are considering booking Chris, do it! You will not regret it. We cannot recommend him enough!

Phenomenal!

Chris is the absolute BEST!!! I had him play at my ceremony and cocktail hour at my wedding and talk about jaw on the floor!! He is incredible! I had 4 special requests that he did beautifully! I had the boys with Gangsters Paradise, my girls and I had two different Bridgerton songs, and Best I Ever Had as my recessional. Chris was on point with timing and just played everything so incredibly! I gave him full autonomy over what he played at cocktail hour and it was perfect!! I had so many guests coming up to me asking where I found him, just raving about him! If you are thinking about having a violinist then look no further, BOOK HIM!!! We absolutely loved Chris and are so grateful that he was a part of our special day!!

Incredibly Special and Gifted Musician

Chris Barbosa is absolutely incredible! He played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and completely elevated the entire atmosphere. The music was beautiful, seamless, and set the perfect tone for the day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how talented he is—even the birds at Sunken Gardens seemed to be bopping along! If you’re looking for someone who will make your event feel truly special, Chris is it.

Very talented

We used Chris for our wedding music! He played during our ceremony, cocktail hour and even joined the DJ during dancing to play along. He is extremely versatile in his music and can turn any song into pure magic.

This Violinist Appreciates Nerds

Chris was absolutely fantastic. He was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator. When I told him I wanted him to play Aerith's Theme when my wife walked down the aisle, and his response was "Oh from Final Fantasy VII? That's a good one!" I knew he was the man for the job. He then doubled down by playing the Kingdom Hearts menu music when people were getting seated, and Simple and Clean when everyone exited! All my friends were amazed and loving it, and those who were secret gamers came out the woodwork at the end of the ceremony. He absolutely crushed the cocktail hour with some awesome violin versions of popular music. Cannot recommend Chris, who is in this business to make sure whoever books him has the exact experience. Would rate him a 10/5 if I could!

Best Violinist ever!

We hired Chris from the recommendation of our wedding coordinator, and he truly did not disappoint. The music was BEAUTIFUL and he went above and beyond our expectations. We have received so many compliments on how wonderful the music was for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was prompt and responded to us immediately. For anyone who needs a violinist in the Tampa area, he should be the only person you reach out to!

Exactly what we wanted

We wanted an electric violist for our pre-ceremony reception and the reception. Chris is an incredible artist. He was amazing to work with. We asked him to learn new songs and he had no problem doing so. His music was like velvet. Smooth and beautiful. He played both contemporary and classic music. I highly recommend Chris.
