Reviews of Cellists available in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

London Two Cellos
"Nicola and Laura played for my wedding (both cellists), at the ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast. String Musicians have made it so easy and stress free for myself, during the planning and also on the wedding day. Once I told them what I wanted for the music (from the style of music to specific pieces), I did not need to worry about anything else. They worked with the registrar from the council to coordinate cues during the ceremony, so the transition between music pieces was seamless. Many guests commented how well they played throughout the day! Thank you!"

Lily - Wedding
London String Quartet "Kara Strings"
"We hired the Kara Strings quartet for our corporate event and they were truly the highlight of the evening. The performance was elegant, engaging and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of the event. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards to say how much they enjoyed the music and to ask about the musicians. The quartet were professional, punctual and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you are looking for a high-quality string quartet for a corporate event or special occasion, I would highly recommend Kara Strings."

Catherine Little Cello
"From the beginning process of getting in touch with Catherine she was very quick to respond and gave all the details necessary. So professional. The best part came when we got into the details of the music, there was no ask she couldn't deliver on. I will be a long time client and will strongly recommend anyone who is considering hiring them."

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!"

Frequently asked questions

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.
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.
The average cost of hiring cellists is R10131, with prices from R1878 to R32533. 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.
