  Musical elegance and Black excellence!

  Edward, thank you so much for making my wedding a truly unique experience. Our family and guests were so impressed! We love the way you play and pull at our heartstrings. Thank you again for being so accommodating with our crazy music selections. I can't wait to (officially) call you Dr. Hardy! God bless you, young man. Stay well.

  Best Decision for Our Cocktail Hour!

  We had Dr. Hardy perform during our cocktail hour, and it was hands down the best decision we made! His diverse song selection catered to all of our tastes—ranging from my parents' favorite rock classics to our love for both old and new hip-hop. Edward truly envisioned and brought to life an incredible performance that perfectly suited our event. We’re still getting compliments about his violin playing, and we will absolutely hire him again for future family functions. Highly recommend!

  The Highlight of Our Cocktail Hour!

  Wow, wow, wow! Dr. Hardy is a one-of-a-kind solo violinist! He performed at our cocktail hour, and it was like having a live soundtrack for the best day of our lives. His energy, skill, and ability to read the room made every moment extra special. If you’re on the fence, just book him—you won’t regret it!

  A Fairytale Wedding!

  Edward played at our wedding with 200 guests and it felt like a fairytale! The sound of his violin filled the space with so much warmth and beauty. We asked him for a special rendition of Celia Cruz’s “Tu Voz,” which wasn’t on his already extensive musical lists, and it was absolutely breathtaking and brought tears to our eyes as we walked down the aisle. We loved it and I can't thank you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

  Exceeded Our Expectations!

  My husband and I contacted Dr. Hardy via The Knot, he responded within the hour, scheduled a consultation the very next morning, and we sent our deposit (in full) the following day. His enthusiasm, trustworthiness, care, and credibility are unmatched.
  
  On the day of our Central Park wedding, Edward performed at our ceremony, and we were absolutely blown away! It's just like his videos, but even better! And when he says "one-man band," he truly means it. Edward’s entire audio setup took about 10 minutes, and he even tested a few songs for sound levels. He also brought an extra microphone, which we desperately needed when the wedding officiant’s microphone stopped working—what a lifesaver!
  
  His performance of "Bittersweet Symphony" as I walked down the aisle was breathtaking, and the music during the ceremony was absolutely perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the music was, and they kept making requests, which Edward graciously played—especially for my mother.
  
  Edward, you truly made our ceremony feel so special, and we can’t thank you enough. Merry Christmas!!

  Emotional, Elegant, and Unforgettable

  Dr. Hardy's performance was everything we dreamed of and more! His music made our ceremony feel even more elegant and personal, and the way he played our first dance song, ‘Careless Whisper,’ had us both in tears, hot, and laughing the entire time! Edward’s attention to detail and ability to create an emotional connection through his music made our wedding extremely special and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much, Dr. Hardy, for the treasured memories!

  Edward - proposal

  Edward performed during my proposal. From the moment I reached out to Edward until the time came to propose, Edward was punctual, communicative, and accommodating. His catalog of songs that he can play was far deeper than any other violinist I spoke to. Edward is a true professional and incredible performer. We are so lucky and grateful to have been able to share such a special memory with him.

  A great intimate addition to you special event

  My wife and I hire Edward to play at our wedding because the venue didn't allow amplified sound. As someone who is obsessed with music it was really important to have that as part of our special day AND to find someone who played music my wife and I grew up with.
  
  Edward was the perfect fit. He has a song list of classical music and popular pop songs, but he also has R&B, soul, and hip-hop which better aligns with the music we were seeking. He was great both during the planning process (timely responses, calling and reaching out if he felt you might need a little extra support) and on the day of. Our family loved the music he played and gave a lot of compliments!
  
  I'd definitely recommend Edward to others. He's professional, talented, and overall a good person.

  The Best Violinist in New York City!

  Edward's performance was a highlight of our wedding! We hired him for our cocktail hour at The Capitale in New York City, and several of our guests were dancing to his music. Me and Melissa were standing at the doors just enjoying his incredible music before we entered. Edward, thank you for sharing your gift with us!

  A requirement for every wedding

  Eddie is a thoughtful, kindhearted, polite man of music. He’s also the best violinist we heard and we “interviewed” multiple. His performance is a necessity for any wedding. Thank you for making the memories more memorable.

  1000% recommend!

  It was AMAZING to work with Edward! He is a down-to-earth guy and was knowledgeable about other aspects of our wedding outside his participation. He also gave us an extensive list of his songs that has everything you can imagine, and we choose what we’d want to hear. We had Edward play songs by the Beatles, Bill Withers, Elton John, Queen, The Postal Service, Carlos Santana, Bob Marley, and Lil Nas, to name a few, and all of our guests complimented how much they loved the music. They couldn’t believe an actual violinist was performing all of these songs for them (and I even heard he took requests during the cocktail hour!). If I ever renew my vows, I will hire Edward again. 1000% recommend!
