Photo of Les Trois Cordes BE Les Trois Cordes BE "We feel privileged to have had this talented, elegant and charming trio perform at our wedding. Les Trois Cordes BE being an extensive play list yet also happy to perform new/requested pieces by arrangement. On time and professional. Overall, absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (58 miles from Lille) 8th March 2026 T & W - T & W Wedding Photo of Gleb Gladkov Gleb Gladkov "It was one the best birthday concerts of baroque music, done in my house. Recommend everyone. Gleb and his collègues has plenty of programmes they can show on your event." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (58 miles from Lille) 12th February 2026 Yvan Dejaeghere - Birthday Privat Concert Photo of Lascar String Quartet Lascar String Quartet "This was an important moment for me, so it was crucial that the Quartet « wowed » my family: and they did. The Quartet were fantastic. Collaboration prior to the event was impeccable. The Quartet started on time and played the agreed list of pop songs with imagination & gusto. The connection with the audience was electric. The adults joined in and sang the lyrics, song after song, throughout the set. The biggest crowd-pleaser was « Hotel California ». I will book the Quartet again." Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium (71 miles from Lille) 15th October 2026 Charles Groutage - Family Birthday Party Photo of Skapa Skapa "I discovered SKAPA at another wedding and was immediately sold, so we knew we wanted them at our own wedding too. They took care of the live music during our church ceremony and truly added an extra dimension to the atmosphere. We’re so happy we had them as part of our beautiful day. Their music made the ceremony feel even more special and memorable." Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium (71 miles from Lille) 8th September 2026 Sarah & Philippe - Wedding Photo of Enchanted Cello by Dawei Tan Enchanted Cello by Dawei Tan "Dawei and his partner played beautiful pieces of music on the day of our wedding. I will always remember that moving moment when I entered the church with Pachelbel's Canon played by this talented violinist resonating. It was an exceptionally hot day, but the melodious pieces brought us a bit of freshness and poetry. "Kind, humble, talented, respectful, serious, attentive... I am fully satisfied with his work and his performance. I strongly recommend this cellist!" Translated from French Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region (127 miles from Lille) 5th August 2026 Jessica - Destination Wedding Photo of Bohdana HORECKA Bohdana HORECKA "Bohdana and the quartet were as flexible as they are talented. Our bride and groom had a very specific list of musical pieces they wanted performed, and Bohdana and her fellow musicians were accommodating and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, their performance was outstanding and deeply moving, and made a special day even more memorable!" Based in Nogent-sur-Marne, Île-de-France Region (127 miles from Lille) 2nd June 2026 Tess Coody-Anders - Wedding and Reception

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cellists is €470, with prices from €190 to €1,050+. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.
