I hired Marita to play for my marriage proposal and it was absolutely amazing. She played perfectly for the venue and came well-prepared. Marita was a pleasure to work with and even let me do a last minute date change. Her price is a steal if you're looking for a cellist go no further! Marita knows how to play!
Response from Classical Cellist:
I had a wonderful time at your proposal! It was so beautiful and meaningful! I wish you and your fiancée the best moving forward!
Marita played the cello at my wedding in November. She was very easy to work with and even learned a difficult song for my ceremony. I would definitely hire her again!
Response from Classical Cellist:
Thank you so much Kathleen! I loved your ceremony.
I had a large Mother's Day event at an assisted living community. We had residents and their family members and I wanted nice, tasteful background music. I wanted upbeat, fun music not a lot of "classical". She was very professional, knew exactly what I wanted and let me know she would get started on a playlist that would me my needs. It was a wonderful event and everyone enjoyed the music...it really set the tone for the event.
Response from Classical Cellist:
Thank you so much Lynn. I really enjoyed your event & thank you for reaching out me. It was a pleasure.
I was looking for a cellist to make my proposal extra special and she came through so clutch! We had to make a last minute scheduling change and she was very accommodating and professional. Everything I could have hoped for and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. All around amazing job, easy to work with, made great suggestions and knows how to play for sure!!
Response from Classical Cellist:
Thank you so much, Justin! It was great to play for you & your fiancée! So many congratulations:) Thanks again for letting me be a part of such a special day.
Last minute booking and she was superb. She was able to execute my vision with perfection. Arrived before the time agreed upon too! I’d recommend her without reservation.
Response from Classical Cellist:
Thank you so much for the review! Congratulations on your marriage.
Marita played at my wedding. I contacted her about a month before my wedding. I gave her some songs that I wanted to hear and she found the songs and helped me come up with an order to play with them with the short notice I gave her. She is very kind and patient person. Also very professional.
Response from Classical Cellist:
Thank you so much! Congratulations on your marriage!
This cellist did a wonderful job! She was so prepared and professional! She learned new music for my event and did a great job! Thank you so much!
Amazing performance! She was on time and very professional!

I will come prepared with passion and expertise. I have done several different set ups in the past where I am situated away from the crowd, but to where the music fills the room. The cello caters to multiple events including: weddings, funerals, dinner parties, networking events, business functions, and many more. I am open to play for all different types of events.
I've been playing cello for almost 20 years. I have experience in the UNT symphony orchestra along with playing at weddings. I started playing cello for my friend's weddings back in college. Recently, I have decided to use this talent to help other couples on their special day. I look forward to working with you so that your musical vision can be brought to reality.
The robust sound of the cello carries pretty far. I do not anticipate requiring a mic or sound system to hear the sound.

Through my training, I have had some phenomenal instructors. One of my best teachers, Mr. Sunder always used to impart on me the importance of professionalism. He prided himself in taking gigs seriously and committing himself fully to the experience he would provide his audience. I have learned from this that preparation is always key.
