Violinist events Como
"We couldn’t have chosen a better duo for our wedding. The violin and piano accompanied every moment with emotion and style, enchanting our guests. Their punctuality, precision, and musical interpretation exceeded all expectations. An extraordinary experience!"
Electric Cellist Jenny
"Jenny was great! Great communication leading up to the event. She was on time and so lovely to have around. She really made our corporate welcome drinks special."
Stefania the Cellist
"We had a wonderful experience with Stefania, who performed at our wedding apéro in a park. As our guests arrived and took in the beautiful surroundings, Stefania elevated the atmosphere with her amazing cello performance and thoughtfully curated repertoire. Her music added a magical touch to the evening and truly made the moment feel special.
Communication with Stefania was smooth and effortless from the beginning. We shared our ideas with her, and she thoughtfully incorporated them into her song choices, making the performance feel personal and meaningful.
Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed her playing. We are deeply grateful to Stefania for being part of our evening. It simply wouldn’t have been the same without her music, and we can wholeheartedly recommend her for any event."
Sinfonietta String Quartet
"Booking Stefano and his team was one of our favourite choices of our wedding. They were absolutely phenomenal and exquisite. From the first conversation to the performances on our day, we were blown away with the level of attention to detail, skill, and passion shown by the team. We requested a list of custom songs for our day (most of which were non traditional, akin to a Bridgerton soundtrack per se) and the team performed each of them perfectly throughout the stages of our ceremony and dinner. Just gorgeous. We had guests exclaiming to us how amazing they were. If you’re seeking a high quality, super friendly, reliable, and exceptionally talented string quartet for your event, you have come to the right listing. Thank you so much to you Stefano and team, you made our special day so wonderful. Best wishes, Hayley and Liam"
The Perfect Duo: Piano & Cello
"We hired this piano and cello duo for an important private event, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Our goal was to create an elegant and memorable evening for our guests, and we knew that live music would play a crucial role. Choosing this duo turned out to be the perfect decision.
From the planning stage, they demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. They asked thoughtful questions about the event, the venue, and the type of guests attending. Based on this, they proposed a musical direction that felt perfectly aligned with what we had in mind. Their experience was evident not only in their musical knowledge but also in their understanding of how music interacts with the overall flow of an event.
On the day itself, everything was handled seamlessly. They arrived well in advance, set up quietly, and were ready to perform without requiring any supervision. This level of autonomy was extremely valuable, especially in an event where many different elements needed to be coordinated.
Once the performance began, the impact was immediate. The combination of piano and cello created a refined and immersive atmosphere that elevated the entire space. It felt sophisticated but also warm and inviting. The music never dominated the room, but it was always present in a way that enhanced the experience.
One of the most impressive aspects was their ability to adapt in real time. As the energy of the event shifted—from a more formal beginning to a more relaxed and social atmosphere—the music evolved accordingly. This flexibility made everything feel natural and fluid.
Guests were genuinely impressed. Several people commented on how much they appreciated the live music, noting that it made the evening feel more exclusive and thoughtfully curated.
If you are looking for a piano and cello duo for a wedding or event, this is an outstanding choice. Their combination of talent, professionalism, and sensitivity makes a real difference."
Cellists & Sisters
"We had the absolute pleasure of having this incredible cellist duo perform at our outdoor winter wedding, and they were simply outstanding. From the very beginning, they were professional, warm, and incredibly responsive. They quickly sent us recordings of the songs we were considering and were able to play every piece we requested — no matter how specific or unique.
On the day itself, they arrived calm, prepared, and completely in control. Even without knowing the exact timings of our order of service, they adapted effortlessly and made every transition feel seamless. Their experience truly shows — they have that rare ability to read the moment and adjust in real time.
Most importantly, they played absolutely beautifully. The music added so much emotion and depth to our ceremony, especially in the winter setting. It was elegant, moving, and unforgettable.
If you’re looking for musicians who are not only exceptionally talented but also make you feel completely at ease, this duo is it. We couldn’t recommend them more highly."
