June 14, 2026Truly incredible and so kind!
Brian played cello for our wedding ceremony, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly kind and responsive throughout the entire planning process. He took the time to understand the atmosphere we wanted to create and helped make our ceremony feel truly personal and memorable. He even created a custom cello arrangement of a song that is very special to us. His talent, creativity, and attention to detail were evident in every piece he played.
He was a joy to work with—professional, flexible, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The music added so much warmth, elegance, and emotion to our ceremony. If you are considering live music for your wedding or event, we wholeheartedly recommend Brian. He exceeded every expectation and helped create one of the most memorable parts of our wedding day.

Jeanne, thank you so much for your very generous words! I was very happy to take part in such a warm and thoughtful ceremony. I'm especially happy that you liked the arrangement, so I'm sending it to you in the message section. It's not much more than a lead sheet, but in the years to come, you can have a copy of it, and any cellist will be able to play it for you if you'd like to have access to it. I wish the best to you and your husband and much success in psychiatry for you both!

Brian was wonderful to work with. I immediately realized how passionate he is about creating great music to punctuate an event. What’s more, he was incredibly flexible and helped construct a list that was personal to us on our wedding day. I would recommend Brian as a great musician but also as a good person. He was so excited to witness our wedding and only had kind words to share after the event. If I should need such services in the future, I know where to look.

December 27, 2024Very professional, beautiful sound!
Brian was great and would definitely bring him back in! Made arrangements to make an extra rehearsal, showed up very well prepared and even added his own parts. Communication was excellent and was fun to have around for our Christmas services.
