Woodwind Musicians in JapanProfessional cellists in Japan offer live music for weddings, corporate events, private parties and formal occasions. Solo cello players are a versatile choice, performing everything from classical favorites to contemporary arrangements, and needing minimal space - just a chair and music stand - to perform at almost any venue.
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.

Tokyo Sinfonia
"The sound of the Sinfonia did not remain neatly contained on the stage, but came directly to the audience in their seats to knock on the door of their hearts."
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"
Cuarteto Moon - Barcelona String Quartet
"Wow. Where do I begin???
Cuarteto Moon were my first booking when we decided to get married, I researched and found them online and honestly was blown away with their sound. There was no questions asked that I wanted this string Quartet to play at my wedding and honestly they delivered 10 / 10!!!
Throughout the planning process they made this so easy for me by sending over a spreadsheet for me to fill in with my favourite songs to play during the ceremony, my walk down the aisle song and a few other favourites that we just had to have and no ask was big enough for them :)
They played the songs I wanted so beautifully we had so many compliments from our guests and they looked so professional during the wedding too, which was amazing. You guys are honestly so talented and the best at what you do, I cannot wait to receive my professional wedding photos so I can share your sound and pics across my socials. Thank you so so much for bringing the emotions I wanted on my weddings to life.
During the ceremony I was getting ready so I wasn’t down in the courtyard where you were playing, but I had my window open upstairs and I was listening with tears in my eyes. All of my favourite songs were being played so beautifully for our guests and it really was for me at the moment where I stopped and took everything in because I wanted this feeling on my wedding and I had just that because of you. Music means so much to me and to hear these songs being played live at my wedding by such a talented group was exactly what I wanted, I cannot thank you enough from the bottom of my heart.

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."
Duo Marítimo - Barcelona Violin & Cello
"Duo Maritimo played at our wedding and they did an amazing job! We gave them a set of cues for the ceremony and they got all of them just like we wanted without even having to do a call to go over them. We also hired them for our appetizer (and they were able to also bring a guitar player for a trio). The music was wonderful and they quickly played a song a second time because the guests were having so much fun dancing to it. They had good communication and we would absolutely hire them again!!!"
Dos Arcs Duo
"Violeta and Nacho have been so great on their performance during our reception after our renewal of vows. It really exceeded our expectations . They were so professional from the very start. We just met them during the reception . We communicated through emails and they were so receptive in our request for songs that we wanted. It's so very easy and smooth to deal with both of them. Very kind and respectable couple. My husband and I adore both of them. "Violeta and Nacho thank you so much for the great performance and for making our day very very special and memorable." --- Armand and Juliet . You'll both go a long way. God bless both of you. "
