Perfect!

Brian was amazing! Was flexible with some less than ideal weather and couldn’t have been kinder.

Wedding Ceremony Ensemble

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.

Very 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.

Exceeded Expectations

Brian was very communicative throughout the planning process, arrived early to setup, and played the perfect set for our small dinner party of 12. He helped pick out a great playlist, and is an extremely talented musician and cellist. I could not recommend his services more for you special occassions!
