Mariana Rosa | Cellist Professional cellist for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations

I require a suitable, stable and sheltered space for my cello and chair, with enough room to perform comfortably. No power supply is required, as my sound system is battery-powered.

I would appreciate information about the performance location, whether it is indoors or outdoors, access and parking arrangements, and any specific requirements or restrictions at the venue.

Yes, I provide my own portable, battery-powered sound system, suitable for intimate and medium-sized events. Additional sound equipment may be required for larger venues. Lighting is not included.

Yes, I can provide background music through a pre-selected playlist before and between performances, if required. Please note that this is not a DJ service.

One of my most memorable performances was at L'AND Vineyards, a beautiful venue in Portugal's Alentejo region. Performing in such a distinctive setting was a wonderful experience and reminded me how live music can complement the atmosphere and emotion of a special occasion.

I particularly enjoy weddings and intimate celebrations, where music becomes part of meaningful and personal moments. I also love performing at corporate events, elegant dinners and receptions, adapting the repertoire and musical atmosphere to each occasion. What I enjoy most is creating a connection between the music, the setting and the people.

I’ve been performing in concerts and musical events since childhood, developing my experience on stage throughout my musical education and professional career.

With a background in classical cello performance, I’ve taken part in a wide range of musical projects and performances over the years.

More recently, I’ve been dedicating greater attention to performing at weddings, corporate events, private celebrations and hospitality venues, exploring the versatility of the cello beyond the traditional concert setting.

This allows me to combine my classical training and years of performing experience with a more personalised approach to live music, adapting each performance to the atmosphere and character of the occasion.

My musical background is deeply rooted in classical music, particularly the expressive possibilities of the cello. Composers such as J. S. Bach have had a lasting influence on how I understand sound, phrasing and musical expression.

At the same time, I enjoy discovering music across different genres, from jazz and bossa nova to pop and contemporary music. I find inspiration in artists who communicate emotion and authenticity, regardless of musical style.

Choosing a single favourite artist or the greatest song of all time is almost impossible for me, different pieces can be equally meaningful for very different reasons.

I usually arrive around 30–45 minutes before the performance to set up, tune my instrument and check the sound equipment.

Performance times are flexible and tailored to each event, whether it’s a wedding ceremony, cocktail reception, private dinner or corporate event. I can perform continuously or in sets with short breaks, depending on the occasion and the client’s preferences.

Absolutely! I’m happy to perform outdoors, provided there is a flat, stable and sheltered area, protected from rain, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

As my sound system is battery-powered, I don’t require access to electricity for most performances.

Absolutely! I believe music should reflect the atmosphere and personality of each event.

Clients are welcome to choose from my repertoire and share their musical preferences. I’m also happy to discuss special song requests, particularly for meaningful moments such as wedding ceremonies.

My repertoire includes classical music, jazz, bossa nova, pop and contemporary arrangements, allowing me to create a personalised musical experience for each occasion.

Clients often appreciate the elegance, sensitivity and atmosphere that live cello music brings to their events. They particularly value the versatility of my repertoire and my ability to adapt the music to different settings, creating an experience that feels both personal and memorable.

Absolutely! I love helping clients make their celebrations more personal through music. Whether it's a meaningful song for a wedding ceremony or a particular piece that reflects the atmosphere of your event, I'm happy to discuss special requests. Songs outside my existing repertoire may require additional preparation and will be considered individually.
