Reviews of Cellists available in Bern, Canton of Bern, Switzerland

5/5 from 435 reviews
Photo of Stefania the Cellist 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." Based in Zürich, Canton of Zurich (59 miles from Bern) Zane - Wedding ApĂ©ro Photo of Cellistin Cellistin "Brigitte was enthusiastic to perform, accommodating with regard to choice of music and is clearly a very talented cellist. I would be very happy to engage her again." Based in Zürich (Kreis 8), Canton of Zurich (59 miles from Bern) BRIGITTE MULLER - GRADUATION PARTY Photo of Cellists & Sisters 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." Based in Zürich (Kreis 12) / Schwamendingen-Mitte, Canton of Zurich (62 miles from Bern) 3rd March 2026 Emma-Sunshine Burkard - Private outdoor wedding Photo of Your Pianist for Wedding, Concert & Event Your Pianist for Wedding, Concert & Event "Lisa Maria was the perfect choice for our winter wonderland wedding in the Swiss Alps of Guarda! She is very talented and her performance during our ceremony was just the perfect touch to make it so romantic and made everyone feel very emotional! Lisa Maria went above and beyond with the communication and coordination. Specifically, she was very quick to respond by email and to find solutions to problems. For example, we had the challenge that there was no electricity points at our ceremony location which was outside, in the snow, on the top of a mountain. Lisa Maria did the research and testing to find the solution of an external battery power source that would serve our purposes." Based in Walenstadt, Canton of St. Gallen (89 miles from Bern) 6th July 2026 Marion Halftermeyer - Wedding Ceremony Photo of violinist/duojig violin cello violinist/duojig violin cello "As the CB Wedding Planner team, we had the pleasure of working with the talented violinist Barbara. The musical accompaniment was beautiful and enriched the wedding in a very special way. The collaboration proceeded professionally, reliably and smoothly from start to finish. Both we and the guests were delighted with the quality of her performance and her warm manner. We can wholeheartedly recommend Barbara and look forward to future collaborations. Thank you very much for the wonderful musical accompaniment to this special day! ✨" Translated from German Based in Lugano, Canton Ticino (97 miles from Bern) 22nd June 2026 CB Wedding Planner - Hochzeitsplanung Photo of Violinist events Como 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!" Based in Como, Lombardy, Italy (111 miles from Bern) 19th November 2025 Sam - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cellists is CHF460, with prices from CHF180 to CHF1,050+. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
