5/5 from 499 reviews
Photo of TKate Cello TKate Cello "Tabitha was absolutely wonderful as our wedding cellist. She was professional and brought lovely personal touches to every aspect of her performance. She took the time to understand the tone of our day, and played with such sensitivity and emotion that it added a truly intimate touch to the ceremony. Her music was not only beautiful—it elevated the entire atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how moving the music was and how warm and approachable Tabitha seemed. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful contribution to our wedding day." Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Matthew Barrell - Wedding Photo of JAM Duo JAM Duo "Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. Everyone thought you sounded amazing. Thanks again, you were brilliant." Based in Cotswolds, England (53 miles from Newport) Emma Harmer - Wedding Photo of Rebecca Rose Cellist Rebecca Rose Cellist "We booked Rebecca for our wedding and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and kept in regular contact in the lead-up to the day, which really put us at ease. Her song list was fantastic, with so many beautiful choices — but what meant the most to us was that she learned my walk-in song especially for the reception. It was such a magical moment and truly added something unforgettable to our day. Her performance was stunning, and so many of our guests commented on how talented she is. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it — she helped make our wedding perfect."

Everyone I’ve spoken to said you were amazing." Based in Birmingham, England (77 miles from Newport) Rob and Amy Rhead Photo of Jay Émme, Cellist Jay Émme, Cellist "Despite getting married during the coronavirus pandemic and therefore having to have limited numbers, we knew we still wanted a live musician to really set the tone of the day. Jay certainly did this and so much more. She played beautifully as the guests arrived and as the bridesmaids walked down the aisle. She played me down the aisle too, to ‘Kissing You - Des’Ree’ which was so moving. Jay set the tone of the day from the start of the ceremony and she worked closely with our wedding planner so she truly understood our desires for our wedding. We are so grateful to her for her part in our day and would highly recommend her to anyone considering a cellist for their special event." Based in Birmingham, England (77 miles from Newport) Shanice & Stephen {bride & grom} - Deer Park Hall Wedding, Devon Photo of Sounds Interesting String Quartet Sounds Interesting String Quartet "Dear Anne, Thank you, once again, for organising a lovely group of players for me. Everyone was so nice to work with. Considering the amount of notes that we had to play last night - it was a fantastic job. The audience had a really good evening and there were many excellent comments. Thank you, for leading in your usual friendly and professional way. It's always a privilege to work with you. Please pass on my thanks to the players - I am looking forward to the B minor Mass after Christmas! All the best. Peter" Based in Shrewsbury, England (78 miles from Newport) Music Director/conductor - Choral Society concert with Sounds Interesting String Quartet

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
