May 19, 2026Erika is an awesome cellist! She played her cello and she was outstanding. We were so happy that we asked her to play. Everyone was amazed, when she started playing everyone got quiet and so many of the guests told me it was beautiful and that she was awesome.

When you hire me for your event, you can expect an elite, stress-free experience that seamlessly blends high-end musicianship with absolute professionalism.
During the Planning Process:
From our first interaction, you can expect clear communication and expert guidance. Drawing on my background in music education and extensive event experience, I will walk you through your music options carefully, helping you curate the perfect soundtrack and ensuring your specific song requests are beautifully integrated.
On the Day of the Event:
You can expect total punctuality, polished professionalism, and an artist who coordinates flawlessly with your venue and event planners. I arrive impeccably dressed to match the aesthetic of your celebration, bringing a sophisticated visual presence to the room.
During the Performance:
Your guests can expect a captivating, luxury-tier performance. Whether delivering the classic romance of traditional masterpieces or performing custom cello arrangements of modern pop favorites, I bring a rich, commanding sound that commands attention while perfectly complementing the atmosphere. Ultimately, you can expect peace of mind, an elevated event, and an unforgettable musical experience for your guests.
With 15 years of dedication to the cello and 6 years of specialized experience performing at weddings and elite events, I bring an elegant, sophisticated atmosphere to every occasion. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music Education and Cello, a background that ensures both flawless musical execution and a seamless, professional planning experience.
My career includes frequently performing with premier luxury string companies, bringing top-tier musicianship to high-end celebrations. I pride myself on being professional every step of the way, carefully walking clients through their music options to ensure a stress-free process from the initial booking to the final note. Whether you are looking for classic romance for a wedding ceremony or a modern vibe for a cocktail hour, I can easily tailor my versatile repertoire to make your unique vision unforgettable.
To ensure the highest quality performance and to protect the instrument, my setup requirements are minimal but essential.
For Acoustic Performances:
One sturdy, armless chair (such as a standard banquet or folding chair).
A flat, level performance area of at least 5x5 feet. For outdoor events, the performance space must be fully shaded or under a solid covering to protect the cello from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and precipitation.
For Amplified / Electric Performances:
Access to a reliable, grounded electrical outlet within 25 feet of the performance area.
I provide my own professional amplifier and necessary cables, ensuring the sound is perfectly balanced for the size of your venue and guest count.
I am completely self-sufficient and arrive early to set up and tune, requiring no additional lighting or staging sound systems unless previously discussed.
While I have a vast repertoire spanning classical masterpieces, modern pop hits, and cinematic favorites, I am always happy to learn and perform any custom song requests for your event. Your special day should have your perfect soundtrack.
