A guide to booking

Hire Cellists in Ireland

Booking a Cello Player Near You

Local cello players typically perform in sets of 30 to 45 minutes. For wedding ceremonies, many cellists can provide music as guests arrive, during the processional, through the signing of the register, and as the couple exits. Cocktail hours and dinner service are also popular booking options. Most professional cellists near you can learn specific songs on request, and many offer both acoustic and electric cello to suit the venue and atmosphere.

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 Brendan Shiel - Wedding ceremony and reception Photo of WE DUO - Violin and Cello WE DUO - Violin and Cello "WE DUO was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding in Evora! From the first consultation (Filipa is very prompt and responsive!) to the day of the event, we could not be happier with their service. They have a large repertoire of music to choose from and are also very accommodating when it comes to learning new music which made our event feel truly personal. We had so many guests approach us after the wedding ceremony who told us how much they loved the music that Filipa and Bruno played."

He was responsive and helpful through the process from planning to execution. He was punctual and understood how to deliver exactly what I wanted to create the perfect unforgettable moment.

Based in London, England, United Kingdom 19th September 2026 Imogen B - Product Launch 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." Based in Chaniá, Crete, Greece 16th September 2026 Rebecca Knight - Private Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cellists is €490, with prices from €200 to €1,000+. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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