Photo of Catherine Little Cello 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." Based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia 8th May 2026 Liz T. - "Catherine's Cello" Concert Photo of Matildejoy 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!" Based in Dublin, Leinster, Ireland Brendan Shiel - Wedding ceremony and reception Photo of Lagarto 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!" Based in Porto, Portugal Pedro Castanheira - Festival Organiser Photo of Rebecca Rose Cellist 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." Based in Stourport-on-Severn, England, United Kingdom 16th November 2025 Afeera Aslam - Wedding Photo of String trio 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." Based in Carcavelos, Lisbon District, Portugal 21st March 2026 Kevin & Carla - Wedding Photo of Jay Émme, Cellist 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." Based in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom Shanice & Stephen {bride & grom} - Deer Park Hall Wedding, Devon

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cellists is $750, with prices from $310 to $1,600+. Rates depend on the cellist's experience, performance duration and the style of music required. A solo cello performance can provide elegant background music for ceremonies, dinners and receptions.

Ceremony bookings usually split into arrival music, the processional, something during the signing and the recessional, with the couple choosing at least the processional. Drinks receptions are more relaxed and the choice is often left to the player. Fixing the set points and leaving the rest open is the usual arrangement, and it keeps the planning short.

Most cellists need very little setup: just a chair without arms and enough space to perform comfortably. For larger venues, a microphone or small amplification system may be useful. It is a good idea to confirm any technical needs with the cellist before the event.

Most players will take a small number of requests, and a piece written for another instrument can usually be arranged for solo cello. Popular songs work well on the instrument, though a dense arrangement may lose detail when reduced to a single line. Sending the list several weeks ahead leaves time to source or write the arrangement.

Many cellists have a versatile repertoire that extends beyond classical music to include popular songs, film scores, jazz and contemporary arrangements. Some cellists use loop pedals and effects to create a fuller, more modern sound. It is worth checking each performer's profile for their repertoire.

Hiring cellists is popular for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate events, private dinners and classical concerts. The cello's rich, warm tone creates an elegant atmosphere and works well as both solo background music and as part of a string ensemble.

Most players list a travel radius on their profile and will go beyond it for a fee covering time and transport. A cello takes up a seat or a boot, so travel is usually by car rather than public transport, which shapes how far is practical. Raising distance early is worth doing, as it affects both the fee and the arrival time the player can commit to.
