Photo of Soul N Passion String Duo Soul N Passion String Duo "Soul N Passion played our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music was beautiful and helped make the ceremony so memorable. They even learned a new song that we requested for our exit song and executed it perfectly! The music during cocktail hour was so popular among our guests, especially instrumental covers of popular pop songs! We would recommend Soul N Passion to anyone!" Based in Athens, Attica 29th January 2026 Jimmy Stathakios - Wedding Photo of Amado duet Amado duet "We had the absolute pleasure of having Amado Duet (violin and cello) perform in our home, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment they began playing, we felt transported to a Baroque-like era—the music was breathtaking, elegant, and soul-stirring. Their setup and choice of pieces were impeccable, and their sheer talent left us in awe. What impressed me even more was their flexibility: despite booking them last minute and requesting a piece outside their repertoire, they delivered it beautifully without hesitation. Beyond their extraordinary musicianship, they are also truly lovely people—warm, professional, and a joy to have around. We cannot wait to invite them back again. Highly, highly recommended!" Based in Athens, Attica Amir Mahtani - Home Ocassion Photo of One Cello 'N' a Half One Cello 'N' a Half "Faidon and Maria responded on very short notice and provided a wonderfully romantic backdrop to a very special moment. Thank you again, Faidon and Maria — see you in London!" Based in Athens, Attica Adam R - Wedding Proposal Photo of Blue Jays string trio Blue Jays string trio "Thank you so much for your outstanding performance once again!

Based in Athens, Attica Ellie D. - Corporate event Photo of String Duo Lefka Ori String Duo Lefka Ori "Absolutely incredible from start to finish! They created such a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding ceremony and truly brought my vision and ideas to life. It had always been a dream of mine to walk down the aisle to a live string rendition of our song, and they made that moment even more special than I imagined. You guys deserve all the credit for creating such a memorable part of our day. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend you without hesitation. Wishing you both all the best, and thank you again for being part of such a special day."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cellists is €490, with prices from €200 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
