Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cellists is £400, with prices from £160 to £900+. 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.

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.

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.

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.
