October 14, 2026Joy cello performed for my mother’s 100th birthday party. She was very open to hearing what we wanted and I was able to communicate our needs and requests either her ahead if the event. She came fully prepared to play some of Mom’s favorite pieces. She brought backup music to accompany her cello on some of the popular songs. During our slide show, she played several pieces that beautifully accompanied the show and received many compliments. I would highly recommend Joy Cello and would love to have her play at a future event.

June 13, 2026I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience I had with Rachel when I booked her to perform at a rehearsal dinner at the Bush Presidential Center. She arrived early, was dressed beautifully, and expertly executed all the songs I had requested. Her presence elevated the entire event and I would book her again without hesitation. She was an excellent communicator and her talent exceeded my expectations.
