Additional Notes

As a classically trained cellist, my repertoire goes beyond classical music and includes film, TV, musicals, retro classics, swing, pop, alternative and indie. Music can be tailored to your preferences, and requests for pieces not currently on my repertoire list are very welcome. View a small sample of my repertoire here.


Music is arranged for solo cello, performed live by myself with piano accompaniment through a professional PA, bringing a classical twist to modern music in a classy and elegant style. Listen to samples of live recordings from weddings performed here.


If none of the packages below suit your requirements, please get in touch for an alternative quote. Prices may vary depending on travel distance, and a £100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date.


I am also happy to coordinate my clothing with your colour scheme, décor and personal preferences.
