July 14, 2026Wonderful!
Our wedding music was simply beautiful! The cello and violin were perfect for our ceremony. We had a specific list of pieces we wanted played and Chloe helped make that happen seamlessly. Very moving and memorable. Thank you for contributing to our unforgettable day. PS I have some beautiful pictures of you both I'd like to send but this platform won't accept them. Can you send me an email or better still a text message address?

June 4, 2026Would absolutely recommend!
Chloe was excellent to work with. She was professional and responsive, and truly willing to work with us to make our day special. Our day wouldn't have been the same without Chloe and her cello; our guests were raving about the music the rest of the night!

October 9, 2025Beautiful Tribute for Private Performance
Chloe was an absolute joy to work with — kind, communicative, and so thoughtful in every detail! She helped me create a set list that felt deeply personal and meaningful for our celebration of life. Her performance was stunning; everyone at the event was truly touched by the beauty and emotion she brought to the music. It was the perfect reflection of the love and spirit we were honoring. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
