October 22, 2026Kristen was an excellent cellist and she rolled with the punches. We had a lot of timeline changes last minute and she was able to transition the music smoothly. She made our wedding day so special and her playing is something we will cherish forever.

June 27, 2026Kristen was the first to respond to my request. She was on time, we communicated beforehand and she played beautifully for the 2.5 hour funeral reception. Highly recommend her~

December 29, 2025Dolce is such a joy to work with. She learned 2 rare Bob Marley songs and turned them into a medley for our first dance. Dolce was on fire and a huge hit at our wedding reception

October 16, 2025We are so incredibly lucky to have had Kristen from Dolce Fuoco perform at our wedding! We truly feel like she cared just as much about making our day special as we did, both during the planning phase and on the actual day. Her beautiful music was absolutely critical in shaping our wedding experience, as it perfectly complemented the most important, emotional, and memorable moments of the day. We are so grateful for her dedication to learning the songs we requested and would highly recommend her for any and all events. Thank you Kristen! :)

September 14, 2025Kristen Marie is such a professional and talented cellist. She worked closely with us to guide us through the process of selecting the style of music we wanted. Then she guided us through various musical suggestions for different stages of our ceremony and reception. She created a detailed timeline for what music to be played at specific points in the wedding. She was on time, professionally dressed, and followed our schedule. Highly recommend her!
