These four classical musicians went above and beyond what was expected. They were understanding of our music choices, played at a professional-level, and were very punctual. Katherine communicated regularly, she was timely with her replies, and just a joy to work with. Her team created an ambiance that made my wedding magical. The wedding wouldn't have been as special without their touch. Would recommend to friends and family. Will use again for another event. Absolutely fantastic!

Response from Katharine Smith:
Thanks for your review, Cynthia! My quartet and I were all talking about how your ceremony was one of our favorites we've ever played. We appreciated your hospitality, and wish you the best of luck!

Katherine was the only musician I hired for my wedding and she was fantastic!! She worked with me ahead of time to help me find the music I wanted for my ceremony, and went right along with me when I gave perhaps overly specific instructions for what I wanted for the recessional. I was afraid that finding a cellist was going to be the hardest part of my wedding planning, but it was by far the easiest!

We booked her to play for my mother-in-law's funeral service. She found sheet music for all of her favorite songs and mixed them in with classical pieces (the standard funeral fare). Everything was beautifully executed. She was perfect.

Highly recommend Katharine Smith for any occasion. Katherine is: professionalism, hands-on, dedicated, and delivers exceptional service. If you are looking for a good cellist, have the confidence that Katherine is unmatched and you will be blown away with her performance.
On a personal note, my husband and I appreciated Katherine and how organized and flexible she was. She checked in on us several times to ensure complete success of our wedding music. Katherine was fundamental in delivering an exceptional experience on our wedding day. We would book her again and again as long as she will take us.
Thank you, Katherine, for making our wedding day Exceptional!
Sincerely,
Ruben and Nathan Gonzales-Young

We booked Katherine to play cello at our son’s wedding and will be forever glad we did. She was receptive to the liturgical music we asked to be played, she was willing to make the long drive up to the chapel in Allenspark, she worked with a pianist and vocalist whom she had never met before, and she graciously accommodated some last minute changes. On top of that, her music was beautiful! Katherine is lovely, and it was a pleasure to have her join in our special celebration. I wish I could give her 10 stars!

What to Expect
You can expect high quality performances from classically trained string players, whether hired as solo artists or a chamber group. Venues can range from acoustic and intimate to theatrical and amplified, and genres can range from classical to modern.
About
I have been studying music in one form or another since the age of six, but cello took over my life when I turned 11 and I played in my very first orchestra. While my primary training has always been classical, my studies in University have broadened my genres to include jazz, soul, dance, hip-hop, Broadway, and so much more. Connecting with the entertainment scene in Las Vegas also provided me with countless opportunities to improve upon my live performance skills, as I learned to improvise, create setlists, arrange and orchestrate music, and interact with booking agents and clients alike. I hope to bring what I've learned to Denver in a fresh and positive way, and to continue helping others create and participate in musical memories.
