July 8, 2025An Exceptional Cellist for a Meaningful Occasion
Maria played a truly beautiful role in my aunt’s memorial service. Her performance was elegant, heartfelt, and deeply in tune with the emotion of the moment. Each note brought a sense of peace and reflection that stayed with everyone present.
She was professional and compassionate from start to finish—arriving on time, dressed tastefully and appropriately, and prepared for everything we had requested. When we first met, she kindly offered to play a short sample on the spot, which immediately showed her sensitivity and skill.
She honored every musical request, including several classical pieces that were musically intricate and emotionally demanding. She performed them with both precision and soul, demonstrating a high level of technical ability and artistic depth.
Guests repeatedly commented on how moving the music was—it added something truly special to the service. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a gifted, respectful, and accomplished musician for a meaningful occasion.

June 23, 2025Beautiful beach wedding cello performance
Maria was very prompt for my Son's sunrise beach wedding. We learned she had been playing the cello since she was 6 years old. She set up so that she was a little out of the way and filled the sea air with the most beautiful music. I would highly recommend Maria as she is a fabulous cellist and also a very nice person. Thank you Maria for being a big part of our day.
