Lilli Elliott - Cellist
"I hired Lilli and Matt relatively last minute. They were very helpful in coordinating songs to play. They arrived 30 minutes before the event and even stayed a little longer. They were very flexible when my aunt decided to rewrite some ideas. I appreciate her kindness, understanding and flexibility. They played beautifully and flawlessly. I would definitely recommend and hire again."
Signature Strings, LLC
"Signature Strings, LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. Their communication was quick and reliable throughout the planning process, putting us at ease. The quality of their playing was very high - they played our favorite Beatles song perfectly and almost made me cry! The quartet was super nice and easy to work with, and truly contributed to making our special day unforgettable. We would highly recommend Signature Strings to any couple looking for an amazing wedding band"
Anastasiia Cello
"I was truly impressed by the performance of the cellist at our event. Nothing can compare to live music — you can actually feel the vibrations, and it creates a completely different emotional experience.
She played beautifully, with deep expression and sensitivity. On top of that, she had an elegant presence, and her instrument sounded rich and refined, clearly of high quality.
It’s been a long time since I felt such genuine emotions from music. Her performance made the entire atmosphere unforgettable."

Beautiful Music from a True Professional - Highly Recommend
Absolutely fantastic experience! Jody was a joy to work with — extremely responsive, professional, and thoughtful in helping with music selection and timing. She arrived early, handled everything seamlessly, and played beautifully. The cello added such an elegant, romantic touch to our ceremony. I would 100% hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and talented musician."
