Miriam was absolutely wonderful at our wedding yesterday. Her playing was beautiful and really set the mood for the ceremony and reception. She turned up with a smile and really worked around the logistics. She was fantastic at helping to discuss an arrangement to play and was very accommodating about working around our needs. Would very highly recommend Miriam for anyone considering a cellist for their wedding, couldn't have been happier!

Miriam was absolutely excellent at our wedding, played beautifully and really contributed to the atmosphere. In the weeks and months leading up to the day Miriam communicated regularly back and forth with regards to the set list (which all in all, from me was 4 playlists which Miriam then had to go through and pull everything together, which she did perfectly 👌) 10/10 would wholeheartedly recommend Miriam to make your special day that extra bit special ☺️

It was a real pleasure, your guests were lovely! 😊

Miriam played during our ceremony in Archbishops Palace, Kent. She was fantastic, the performance was great and everyone enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend her.

Miriam was so helpful with responding to all my questions about which songs could be played during the ceremony of my wedding. My husband and I were thrilled with how beautifully Miriam played and wish we could have been in the ceremony for longer to enjoy her music more. I would definitely recommend Miriam. Thank you so much!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I love to play! I play authentic heart music, which I think comes across, whatever the setting.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Royal Albert Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Union Chapel, the Forum...

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Bach, Vivaldi, Barber, Nyman, Bloch, Gorecki, Shostakovich, Hans Zimmer...

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I think every gig is important and you try to bring your best. Music is not any more valuable in one particular setting. I suppose playing live on Later with Jools Holland was memorable...

Do you have different line-up options?

I bring a flexible cello ensemble line up, using layered loops, recorded live, as I play for your wedding, event or yoga retreat.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

All timings will need to be fixed 2 weeks prior to the event. Unfortunately, I will not be able to play longer than the agreed end time, on the day.

How much time do you need to set up?

30 mins set up time is preferred. I have a minimum space requirement of 2mx2m level ground for playing, under cover (for outdoor events), no more than 1m from a plug point or extension lead must be provided. Many thanks.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

You may pick any song, style of music or particular piece you would like me to play, provided I have time to prepare (no later than 2 weeks before the event).

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring all but the plug point please!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I can learn anything, provided I have sufficient time to prepare.
