Review Centre: Cellists

"wedding & reception music October 2019 I am so pleased that I found Emily. She was friendly and professional from our first contact and gave me complete confidence. Emily not only played her own compositions and traditional cello pieces but also created an arrangement for a specific track at my request, as a surprise for my husband. In addition, Emily prepared a further arrangement at our request, to play alongside our 17 year old son, who accompanied her on the ukulele. Emily and George were only able to run through this piece a couple of times on the day, directly before guests began to arrive and it was wonderful to hear them master it together so quickly. Our guests burst into spontaneous applause after they had played this piece for the recessional! I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! Lisa S "

"Rebecca performed at our wedding on 2nd of October2024. She was just perfect! She performed especially for us our favourite song to walk down the aisle! It was very emotional and there was many happy tears. Rebecca played beautifully during the canapés and she kept fantastic atmosphere in the room. She was everything we could have asked for."

"Isabella played at our wedding and we couldn’t recommend her enough if we tried. She is exceptionally talented and the music was beautiful. She fitted in perfectly with our day and was very accommodating of our requests. Professional yet very friendly and a lovely person. We are so glad that we chose her to be part of our day. We received so many wonderful comments from our guests, who all loved listening to Isabella play. From myself and Ziggy, thank you so much. "

"Claire was a delight to work with in the planning stage and her playing on the day was great. She created a wonderful atmosphere in which it was comfortable for people to meet and chat, as well as sit and listen to a lovely range of music."

"Emily played for my son's wedding. For the service itself she provided beautifully mellow background music as guests arrived and settled, and then the chosen tunes for the entrance of the bride and departure of the newlyweds, and during the signing of the register. An easy move to the reception hall and then she played for over an hour while guests mingled, enjoying drinks and canapés, before the wedding breakfast. Emily's playing is superb whether playing classical favourites or modern pop classics! She communicated thoughtfully and professionally about the couple's requirements and choice of music, most of which was from her established repertoire, but also included an addition to Emily's long list of pop favourites. Many guests commented on the beautiful music, but at the same time Emily herself stayed in the background, providing a beautiful musical backdrop to a perfect day."

"Rebecca is a fantastic cellist and played at our wedding in a string duo. From our first contact with Rebecca, she was really helpful and reliable. She provided some great advice on music choices and setup, whilst also happily accommodating our personal requests. The string duo were a fantastic accompaniment to our ceremony (including for the hymns we had chosen) and drinks reception, and all our guests enjoyed the music. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rebecca!"
