May 14, 2026Elevated Our Wedding Ceremony
Brandon was the cellist for our wedding, and he was such a wonderful addition to our ceremony. He beautifully played every song we requested for our special day and brought such an elegant and emotional touch to the atmosphere.
He is professional, talented, and was easy to work with throughout the process. Our guests absolutely loved the music and it made our ceremony feel even more memorable. We would highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable musician for their event.

January 17, 2026Astonishingly Professional Talent
Brandon my hired Cellist along with my church old school hard nose organist worked synchronously to blend the beautiful franz shubert ave maria in B flat. It was 4 minutes of harmonious musical perfection. Brandon was extremely professional and polite and cordial. It was a pleasure to have him make such a very important day that more meaningful. great work and pleasure to work with.
