December 29, 2025Amazing Experience
Dolce 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, 2025Perfect wedding experience!
We 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, 2025Beautiful music setting the perfect tone for our wedding.
Kristen 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!

May 12, 2025Beautiful Addition to our Celebration of Life
It warms my heart to share what a truly beautiful and memorable addition the cellist was to my mother-in-law's celebration of life. With about 100 guests gathered outdoors, she was exceptionally well-prepared for the setting. Beyond her professionalism, she was incredibly kind, a breeze to communicate with, and so helpful and thorough in the planning process. And the music itself? Simply breathtaking! It added such a profound and comforting atmosphere to the day. Even now, people are still mentioning how beautiful the music was. What truly touched us was her willingness to accommodate our song requests, making the tribute even more personal. If you're looking for a talented and thoughtful musician to elevate a special occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend this cellist. She brought such grace and beauty to a day filled with remembrance.
