Review Centre: Cellists

"We can't recommend Stephen enough! He played for 30 minutes before and through our Wedding Ceremony, even learning a new song on Cello for the Bride's aisle walk which was amazing and not a dry eye in the room. He then played for another fantastic hour giving us his incredible talent on both Cello and Saxophone and got us in the mood to party. All the guests loved him and commented on him all day. We would highly recommend him to make anyone's day that extra special. He was great to work with in planning our very special day, even building us a set list that got us ready to party from his Cello to Saxophone beats, and even through hard times due to Covid and moving dates, he stayed with us. This guy has amazing talent and i'll be booking him again in the near future."

"Memorial October 2019 Emily was a delight. Everyone at this memorial gathering for my husband loved her informal playing while everyone arrived and then she played Bach Cello Suite No 1 in G maj most beautifully. Please thank her from The Dingle Family Pilla D "

"Vikki played beautifully at our daughters church wedding and at the venue. There were lots of comments from the guests, all of them saying how fantastic the music was. One comment was that the music made it feel very special and personal. I would highly recommend Vikki, super easy to book, good communication and great musician . "

"I booked Arabesque Strings very last minute for a formal supper on advice from LMM. They were fantastic! They were friendly, flexible and their music was perfect for the occasion, a very talented group who would add sparkle to any event - will definately book them again."

"I really appreciated Vikki's warm response to, and understanding of our requirements. She was efficient and flexible and all practical arrangements were thorough. She was also more than punctual, arriving before due time in order to set up and welcome our guests on arrival. Vikki is friendly and professional and she made a very good impression. She planned a really lovely programme for the afternoon event 3pm - 6pm. Her playing was beautiful and rich and she was sensitive to the size of the gathering in terms of the volume and tone she used. As the piano in the venue was less than poor, she brought her own electric piano on the proviso that she had help getting it into the venue and back into her vehicle at the end. This was the ideal solution for us. It has a very nice tone. I highly recommend Vikki for weddings, engagement parties, formal occasions, dinner/tea parties and more. Whatever the occasion she strikes me as being more than capable of meeting the brief. I'm so glad I have her in my contacts as I'm certain there will be occasions in the future where I won't hesitate to call on her excellent services."

"Emily was amazing. She played at our wedding and for the drinks reception at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and elevated the day with beautiful cello. Communication was great in the lead up to the day. Could not recommend Emily more! Thank you (review received February 2025)"

"Miriam played at a dinner I hosted and I will be working with her again. Professional, exceptionally skilled, kind, friendly, approachable.... the list goes on. Her own tracks are particularly beautiful, and I'm very glad I let her decide on the set for the evening. Don't hesitate. Just hire her. You will be sorry you didn't discover her sooner."

""Thank you Stephen for displaying your amazing musical talent at our 'Circle Of Friends' Social Group meeting on the 6 October. In particular the choice of music performed was wonderful. Starting with 'Can't Help Falling In Love' and ending with 'What A Wonderful World' Such a refreshing change and definitely different. It raised our spirits in an uncertain Covid-19 World." - Diane Wardley"

"We just wanted to thank you both so much for playing so perfectly at our wedding on 7th June 2014 at Chilston Park. It was wonderful to see you both there playing when we arrived and to see that you had been entertaining our guests. We also loved your playing at the beginning of our wedding breakfast, it created a great atmosphere. Thank you and we hope to work with you again some time."

"Louise is absolutely brilliant! She performed at both our civil ceremony last year and our big wedding celebration this year. Her communication was excellent, ensuring every detail was covered well in advance, which put our minds at ease. She went out of her way to learn a song for our wedding processional which was so thoughtful and excellently executed. She read the room in real time and played songs that fit the vibe. She is an incredibly talented cellist and added such a special touch to our celebrations. Highly recommend hiring her for your next event! Thank you again, Louise Xx - M & R"
