CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Brian is a proffesional of the utmost caliber, and a gentleman as well. I would recommend him most highly for any event, but his sensitivity to the needs of a wedding seems to be a special talent he posseses. His talents lent an unforgettable element to our wedding, and elevated the event to a much more sophisticated level than it would of otherwise been the case. Thank you sir, for being a part of a day that will be remembered in our two families!

Brian met with the wedding couple prior to the wedding to select music. They only had the highest of praise for him. At the wedding, he accommodated our request to play on the beach and by the reception area. He is a very talented musician. Our guests loved his music. We would highly recommend him.

Brian Cullen was an excellent choice for our wedding. He played during both the ceremony and reception cocktail hour/dinner and our guests were complementing us on our choice of music. His style was a perfect compliment to our vision for our wedding, summer, relaxed yet somewhat traditional, airy, and fun. We had some timing issues with the reception due to the caterer but Brian took it all in stride, playing some amazing music during dinner.
I would recommend Brian Cullen to anyone looking for music at their event. His professionalism and courtesy are only surpassed by his talent.

Brian was wonderful! He was very easy to work with, anticipated any need that we might have had, and his music was beautiful. Just right for our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception on Sebago Lake. I recommend him without reservation.

a gentleman, a professional and an amazing talent. He added ambiance, class and a sense of warmth to our rehearsal dinner. What a nice person. No cheese... just perfect.
I think the south african accent also adds to his charm.
thanks again-
