Latest reviews of our Wedding Cellists

"Rebecca was absolutely amazing- she played solo cello with backing tracks for our wedding ceremony and all our guests can't stop talking about how magical she made it! Her communication leading up to the wedding was absolutely fantastic and she even learned songs that weren't in her song list for us. We couldn't recommend Rebecca enough!!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Cellists in the UK
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What kind of music can a cellist play?
Just about anything! Cellists will usually be most comfortable playing classical music, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to put together a fresh renditions of your favourite pop, folk, or jazz tune. Best to check first before asking them to play Sub-Saharan reggae though.
Will I need to provide the cellist with any equipment?
Other than a seat, probably not. If your venue is small, they will likely play unamplified. All they'll need to make the music happen is their violin, a bow, and a receptive audience (oh, and probably a music stand). If your venue is larger, they should be able to provide amplification.
Will my cellist be able to play Ave Maria, Après un rêve, & Sicilienne during the signing of the register?
Well, Sheku Kanneh-Mason did it for Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding - so why not!
