About this vendor
Looking for something different? I curate the VIBE. Whether it’s for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, wedding reception, corporate event, or any other kind of celebration, I’ll deliver a performance your guests will be talking about for years to come. I know exactly how to walk the line between giving an all-out concert and being a background component that elevates the room, and also when to lean more in either direction.
With over 15 years in the business, and 25 years of experience, I can go full-on in any genre or create a mix of styles to fit the vibe you’re going for with energy, enthusiasm, and polish. Top 40, Hot 100, EDM, old school hip hop and R&B, or straight-ahead jazz? Bluegrass with breakbeats? No problem.
In addition to being a violinist, I’m a vocalist, guitarist, beatboxer, and live-looping artist, and I can also join a DJ at your reception to bring a live element to the dance floor and hype the party.

Brian Fitzy was our violinist at our wedding, both the ceremony and cocktail hour, and was absolutely amazing! Brian is extremely talented, open to performing any song you select, allowing us to personalize. He brings great energy to cocktail hour. Brian is very friendly, very professional and super responsive. Definitely recommend Brian, he's the best!
We hired DJ Gaetano and violinist extraordinaire Brian Fitzy for our wedding, and we could have not asked for a better duo. Gaetano made the process effortless and seamless, from reviewing the detailed packages and services with us to providing a custom website to list all of our entertainment desires for wedding day. He was also extremely flexible in accommodating non-traditional asks, and he is one of the main reasons our wedding day was so smooth. Similarly, Brian was just amazing - the number of compliments that we not only received day of but also continue to receive about how talented and enthusiastic he is about his craft is astounding. Gaetano and Brian truly kept the party going throughout the night - I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty! We are absolutely honored to have both as part of our wedding, and we highly recommend them for their services!
Brian Fitzy was our violinist during cocktail hour, and he was simply fantastic. From the moment he started playing, it was clear that we had made the perfect choice. Not only is Brian an exceptional musician, but he is also incredibly professional and easy to work with. He was responsive and attentive to our requests, and he even offered helpful suggestions to ensure that the music perfectly complemented our style. His warm and friendly demeanor made the planning process a breeze, and on the day of the wedding, he arrived early and was well-prepared, which put us at ease. One of my only regrets is not hiring him for longer. His music was such a highlight for us and our guests that I wish we could have enjoyed it throughout the entire evening. We even received numerous compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed his music.
We just had Brian at Party for the Market, and I cannot recommend him enough! He is not only great to work with, but also remained so professional throughout the entire process and during the actual execution of the event as well. I am really looking forward to having the opportunity to work with him again!
Brian Fitzy was our violinist during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was fantastic and played exactly what I wanted him to play. I wish I hired him for longer. 10/10
Great, great musician, talented singer and a super nice person! Brian carried the day for our backyard reception for our newlywed son and daughter-in-law. Starting with the violin for drinks and appetizers to Shut Up and Dance with Me! to finish the night, our family and guests had a BLAST! Brian is a true pro.
Absolutely blown away by Brian's talent! We heard Brian at a wedding before we got engaged and he was the very first wedding vendor we reached out to once we had our date because of how incredible he is. All of our guests were commenting on how amazing he was for our ceremony and cocktail hour. My only regret is not being able to enjoy his music since we were so busy with photos. Brian was such a pleasure to work with and communicated so well along the way to make sure he customized all of his songs for our wedding. We are so happy we had him at our wedding and he made it truly special! He's the best there is!
We hired Brian and his partner, Nick Doak to play ceremony and cocktail hour music, and let me tell you - they are seriously so amazing! Our guests absolutely loved them and they are so talented. If you don’t hire them, you are missing out!
Briand Fitzy absolutely MADE our wedding day! He was in charge of music all throughout the day; the ceremony, cocktail hour, and at the reception he paired with the DJ. To say he is extremely talented doesn’t even begin to do him justice. He is so versatile and seriously can play anything you like! Pairing with the DJ was awesome at our reception. It added the live music aspect (which I love)! He really engaged with our guests. It truly was an awesome experience. Almost every guest I’ve seen since the wedding has commented on how amazing Fitzy was. It’s safe to say that Fitzy and the dancefloor were the highlight of our wedding day. You absolutely cannot go wrong when hiring Brian Fitzy!
We always imagined wanting a full band for our wedding reception, but when we started actually thinking about our entertainment, we realized Fitzy was a must. We've known Fitzy for a few years - he's a good friend of my husband's best man - and had seen him perform several times. He is such an awesome and unique musical talent - we knew we had to incorporate him in our wedding reception. The great thing about Fitzy is that he can really do whatever you can imagine - a lot of people book him to perform their ceremony and cocktail hour, as he's an amazing violinist - but he can also handle a full wedding reception, either paired with a DJ, other musician(s), or even building a full band around him. In addition to his violin skills, he's an incredible live looper, which is such an awesome component to any performance. After talking with Fitzy, we decided that having him perform our cocktail hour on his electric violin and pairing him with a DJ for our reception was the best fit for us. The planning process was a breeze - we met with him in-person a few times, he gave us a few DJ's he works with to take a look at and choose from, and then we met with him and our DJ about 2 weeks before the wedding to go over final logistics. I am so happy we decided to go the route we did - our guests absolutely raved about Fitzy and his cocktail hour performance. He truly has such an incredible and unique talent, people absolutely love listening to him. What is even more awesome about Fitzy is that he will take a song - our first dance song for instance - and add his own musical complements to it. During our first dance, which was a track played by the DJ, Fitzy added in some violin to round out the song, and it was incredible. We also had our best man and his wife, who are musicians, do an encore performance of the song Shallow, and Fitzy again added in some violin that just really gave it an incredible touch. The dance sets he and our DJ performed were awesome as well - they kept the dance floor full the entire night and Fitzy was on the dance floor himself with his electric violin jamming with our guests. Everyone absolutely loved it. Fitzy is a friend, but he's also an incredible professional talent and has such a passion for what he does. If you want an awesome, high-energy, unique and incredible talent for your wedding, Fitzy is the guy! Thank you Fitzy for making our wedding so amazing and special.
Absolutely incredible and a guest favorite at our wedding! Brian Fitzy was such a pleasure to work with. From day one, he was very quick to respond and was very accommodating throughout the process. He played during our ceremony, cocktail hour and our first dance song and we couldn’t have loved it more! The only thing I regret was not paying as much attention as I wish I could have (too busy saying hi to guests and trying to remember our first dance moves!). I really couldn’t recommend him more!
We may be biased, but Brian Fitzgerald is the best wedding entertainment we’ve ever witnessed. My wife and I have been to over 35 weddings together and we wanted something truly unique. We first saw Fitzy at my wife’s work holiday party. We were transfixed and found ourselves distractedly mingling with coworkers and friends while focusing most of our attention towards the man ripping the electric violin to various covers of all music genres. The number one thing we recognized in Fitzy was the pure happiness and joy he experienced while making music. At the event, I approached Fitzy on a break and asked him to play our wedding. He said he’d be delighted to if the scheduling worked out – when were we getting married? I informed him that I planned to buy a ring over the next few months and if I could call him when I did! He laughed, gave me his card and said absolutely. A few months later, once my knee had officially bent we called Fitzy and met with him for the first time. We then planned our entire wedding around the dates he provided to us and we couldn’t be happier that we chose to do this. In the initial meetings with Fitzy, he was so open and caring to what we wanted to make happen at our wedding and created a beautiful plan for the day of our wedding from ceremony to reception set list and everything in between. Once we had already contracted with Fitzy, we wanted to see him perform again so found out when he was going to be playing. We stopped into the bar and listened to an acoustic set with him and a friend. We didn’t tell Fitzy we were coming but he spotted us a few minutes in and spent his entire break just chatting with us. This personal touch really showcases just how good of a guy he is and how much he cares. He is a genuinely awesome human and we couldn’t recommend him more to anyone that wants a unique flair to their wedding or event. One final anecdote before getting into the wedding was during a meeting we had at a local bar and restaurant. During our meeting, a woman was performing on the piano and singing. Everytime a song ended Fitzy stopped speaking and gave the woman a nice clapping ovation. You could tell she appreciated this (and deserved it) and it was something wonderful to witness. An exceptional performer recognizing the art portrayed by another during a quiet afternoon happy hour. I just thought this shows even more the type of person he is. Fitzy performed solo and then with an accompanying drummer and pianist who brought down the house. All of our guests were in awe of what this man can do on the violin, guitar and vocals. We’ve kept in touch with Fitzy beyond the event and think not only did we find the perfect entertainment for our wedding and our guests but also a friend. Thank you so much to Brian and keep kicking ass!
We hired Brian and his friend Nick who plays Guitar to perform at our wedding for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very easy to plan with and very responsive with everything we asked in the planning process. We picked them because they were able to play music beyond just a music list which all the other musicians had. They were able to play a wide range of music from oldies, alternative, and adult pop and excel in each area. They showed up early and were very response to direction from the venue staff about where to set up. During the cocktail hour we had a significant amount of guests tell us about how good their music was and how Nick and Brian were such a good combo. For anyone getting married who would like live music I would 100% recommend them to play at your wedding.
If I could give more stars I would! My husband and I hired Brian for our October 2018 wedding. He played our ceremony and cocktail hour. From the very beginning to the day of, Brian was so easy to work with. He took all of our ideas and song requests. He helped us choose songs that would best fit our style. When we had last minute changes, he was able to accommodate and put us at ease. Our guests RAVED about him. Every single person asked us how we found him and said how amazing he was. Brian is a true professional and a great guy! You will definitely regret not choosing him for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!
This guy is absolutely amazing and talented. He performed for the ceremony and cocktail hour and I wish we would have kept him longer! Very responsive, talented, and personable. Overall just a great performer. All the guests were raving about him. He was super affordable and played an incredible mix for all to enjoy. Thanks for making it a great day Fitzy!
We appreciate it!
Brian performed for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was unbelievable. Multiple guests wanted to know “Where did you find this guy?!” and our photographer said he was the best performer she’d seen at any wedding. I’m sure all of the other options you’re considering are great, but they’re not Brian Fitzy. If he’s available for your wedding, hire him now.
We had Brian perform electric violin at our reception and WOW is an understatement! He was a show stopper and such a unique addition to our entertainment! Adding the electric violin fusion with our DJ was the best of both worlds - live music and DJ. Guests are still asking about him and were so impressed! He really added an exciting element to our music and played all night long. He played a wonderful solo portion during dinner and it was so edgy-elegant. Brian is an extremely talented musician and you are in great hands having him play any portion of your wedding - I'd recommend all of it! Thank you Brian!!
Brain went up and beyond for my wedding. My only regret was not having Brian stay longer! I had him for ceremony and cocktail hour. Everyone has raved about how amazing he was. He was so personal and really made my dreams reality with playing all the songs I requested. I wish I had designated one of my guests to film Brian all night, I can't wait to see what raw footage my videographer captured of him. If you are looking for that special something to add to your day. Brian is it!
Brian was fantastic. Everyone at our wedding kept asking, "Where did you find this guy?!" He was easy to get along with, communicated easily, and kept everyone on the dance floor. Highly recommended!
Brian did an amazing job at our wedding!!! We hired him for our ceremony and 1st dance. He put us as ease after speaking with him and working out the final details. I would highly recommend Brian for your wedding!!! We had so many compliments from our guests!!! I will never forget our 1st dance!!! Thank you Brian Fitzy!!!

Brian was awesome - his music is so unique and he was able to learn to play a new song and customize it just for us. We loved his style and I can say how truly talented he is!
