Tara was incredible

Tara was a sheer delight from first contact all the way through my wedding. She was completely open to the songs I suggested and was ready to play them within a day or so. Showed up, looked amazing and sounded unbelievably good. Could not of gotten luckier. Please hire her for everything. We will!

Tara's cello made our Malibu wedding unforgettable

Tara's exquisite cello music was the perfect addition to our Malibu wedding ceremony. From our very first interaction, she was incredibly kind, helpful, and truly invested in understanding our vision for the music. Her talent is simply extraordinary, and her beautiful playing created an ambiance that elevated the entire ceremony. Our guests were absolutely enchanted by her performance, and many commented on how her music added an extra touch of magic to the day. We are beyond grateful to Tara for sharing her gift with us, and we cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a truly exceptional cellist to make their special event even more memorable. Thank you, Tara! Bruce & Vasiliki
