Woodwind Musicians in AustraliaProfessional cellists in Australia offer live music for weddings, corporate events, private parties and formal occasions. Solo cello players are a versatile choice, performing everything from classical favorites to contemporary arrangements, and needing minimal space - just a chair and music stand - to perform at almost any venue.

For wedding ceremonies, many cellists can provide music as guests arrive, during the processional, through the signing of the register, and as the couple exits. Cocktail hours and dinner service are also popular booking options. Most professional cellists can learn specific songs on request, and many offer both acoustic and electric cello to suit the venue and atmosphere.

Your Pianist for Wedding, Concert & Event
"Wonderful musical accompaniment
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful musical accompaniment at our wedding! I was able to specify exactly which songs I had imagined for our special day, and they were simply implemented beautifully. The communication was at all times uncomplicated, warm and reliable. Our first getting-to-know-each-other via Teams was also very pleasant and immediately gave me a good feeling.
The music was the perfect accompaniment for this special occasion and created an unforgettable atmosphere. The surprise for my husband was completely successful – I could not have wished for it to be more beautiful!
I would choose this musical accompaniment again at any time and can recommend it wholeheartedly. Thank you very much for everything! ❤️"
Dos Arcs Duo
"Dos Arcs Duo were 100/10 they helped us have the wedding of our dreams. They absolutely captured the moment and played beautifully. Not only were we impressed, all of our guests were brought to tears during our wedding ceremony… including our wedding planner because of the music! They also only had a few days to prepare the custom music we selected.
To recommend Dos Arcos is the easiest choice while planning a wedding. Look no further because there isn’t a better duet! We love Dos Arcos and will forever be honored they played at our wedding."

Bohdana HORECKA
"Bohdana is absolutely wonderful to work with! She is highly professional, communicates clearly and promptly, and is always proactive in sharing ideas and suggestions.
We had a very unconventional marketing campaign, and she was open to the concept from the very beginning, embracing it with enthusiasm and creativity. She was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process, flexible, and always willing to explore new ideas.
I have nothing but praise for her professionalism, creativity, and positive attitude. A huge thank you, Bohdana, for being part of our event and helping us bring this unusual idea to life."
