Lauren Bradnam

Lauren Bradnam plays live violin over studio-quality backing tracks, so one player sounds much fuller. At a wedding she can cover almost every moment: guests arriving, the bridal entrance, signing, canapés, then the reception entrances, cake and first dance. Guests tend to ask for Can't Help Falling in Love, Here Comes the Sun, A Thousand Years, Canon in D and Young and Beautiful, while her own favourites include Sweet Child O' Mine, Shallow and Watermelon Sugar. She'll suggest a set list for your day and takes special song requests. Set-up and sound check take 15 to 60 minutes and happen before guests arrive, outside your booking time. She won the ABIA Queensland Wedding Instrumentalist award and a national live entertainment award at the Australian Wedding Awards. Gold Coast-based, she travels Australia-wide, carries public liability insurance and holds a Blue Card.
