Johanna hired Benan Ayvaz for a Wedding (available in Lewisham)
"We had the most amazing day and Benan was fantastic - her playing definitely brought out the emotion in our ceremony and was a lovely backing to our drinks reception. Our guests all commented on how fantastic she was. This was also a last minute booking due to a previous cancellation, Benan was very accommodating and helpful in the lead up to our wedding day, so can't thank her enough for that! 😊"
Elizabeth hired Benan Ayvaz for a Wedding (available in Lewisham)
"This was such a lovely idea we are so glad that could work out at the last minute. We had an early morning registration period with long lines and wanted something soothing, and relaxing for our guests to listen to that was not a DJ. Having Benan come to play was the perfect fit and it sounded amazing inside the tent. Thank you for accepting our last minute booking and being such an amazing musician!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Cellists in Lewisham
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!
