Catherine Little Cello
"My daughter and I attended your concert. It would be an hounour to have you visit our town (for your next concert). Thanks for giving my daughter and myself a wonderful memory."
Matildejoy
"WOW! What an incredible talent Matilde is! She performed for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and did so with distinction. Not only did she learn new pieces especially for us, but she also handled the venue’s paperwork at short notice. From start to finish, Matilde was an absolute joy to work with—professional, friendly, and always with a smile. Her singing and playing were beautiful, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of each moment. We cannot recommend Matilde enough. Thank you, Matilde, for your wonderful contribution to our special day!"
Lagarto
"This is a unique trio which drove me to another level of music feeling. With just 3 instruments they brought the best out of the cello and viola together with the didgeridoo. congratulations, i will book you again for sure!"
Rebecca Rose Cellist
"We booked Rebecca for our wedding and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and kept in regular contact in the lead-up to the day, which really put us at ease. Her song list was fantastic, with so many beautiful choices — but what meant the most to us was that she learned my walk-in song especially for the reception. It was such a magical moment and truly added something unforgettable to our day.
Her performance was stunning, and so many of our guests commented on how talented she is. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it — she helped make our wedding perfect."
String trio
"We had the absolute pleasure of having this incredible string trio perform at our wedding, and they exceeded every expectation we had.
From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and extremely accommodating—especially when it came to learning and performing our custom walk-out songs. Hearing those pieces played live in such a beautiful, elegant way was one of the most memorable moments of the entire day.
During cocktail hour, they created the perfect atmosphere. Their repertoire was outstanding—seamlessly blending classics with modern favorites—and they kept our guests fully engaged and constantly commenting on how talented they were. The music added such a warm, sophisticated energy to the entire space.
If you’re looking for musicians who are not only exceptionally skilled but also flexible, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your event special, we cannot recommend them highly enough. They were a highlight of our wedding and we’re so grateful to have had them be part of it."
Jay Émme, Cellist
"Despite getting married during the coronavirus pandemic and therefore having to have limited numbers, we knew we still wanted a live musician to really set the tone of the day.
Jay certainly did this and so much more. She played beautifully as the guests arrived and as the bridesmaids walked down the aisle. She played me down the aisle too, to ‘Kissing You - Des’Ree’ which was so moving.
Jay set the tone of the day from the start of the ceremony and she worked closely with our wedding planner so she truly understood our desires for our wedding. We are so grateful to her for her part in our day and would highly recommend her to anyone considering a cellist for their special event."
