For a unique, moving, and memorable service, celebrate with J.S. Bach's Suites for Solo Cello performed by Daniel Daughtry-Weiss. My CelloWeddings service includes 50 minutes solo cello music before or after the ceremony as well as the ceremony itself. Listen to me on SoundCloud and read about why I do this below!
Daniel is a talented cellist who found just the right selections for our daughter’s wedding. He was punctual, professional, and polite. We really liked his manner and the quality of his performance. We highly recommend him.
A wonderful addition to our orchestra
he was so warm and accommodating! so easy to work with :) and the music was very tasteful!! he set the mood at my wedding in the woods and I absolutely loved the cello
Wonderful to work with. Very professional and adaptable to our changes as wedding planning continued. Definitely a great addition to any wedding!
Response from CelloWeddings:
Thanks, Mathias. It was a pleasure and fun to play the Elvis for the bride! Best wishes! - Daniel
Daniel was very professional and played beautiful music for my event.
Price Range: $300-450
I love playing the cello, and I love playing the Bach Suites. Good music creates a charged atmosphere. It speaks directly to our hearts about what it means to be human and to the significance of life. What better place to have powerful, live music than at a wedding?
At a wedding, I have the opportunity to elevate a truly meaningful moment, to set it apart. My goal is to open the hearts of unsuspecting listeners–bride and groom included–to the incredible meaning and value of their commitment as celebrated in the wedding vows and ceremony.
In addition to weddings, I play with period instrument groups, professional string ensembles, and orchestras in the Washington, DC area. I have appeared locally with the Bach Sinfonia and Washington Bach Consort and I plays currently with the Prince George’s Philharmonic and National String Sinfonia. I earned the Master of Music degree in historical performance/baroque cello from Oberlin Conservatory. I honed my baroque cello skills under Catharina Meints (Oberlin, formerly of the Cleveland Orchestra), Phoebe Carrai (Longy School of Music, formerly of Musica Antiqua Koln).
