Magdalena has performed for countless wedding varying from intimate settings to grand weddings or other events needing live cello music.
I was fortunate enough to be able to provide my wife with a wonderful experience of a cellist to play at her surprise 40th birthday. Magdalena was above and beyond the greatest part of the surprise. Her elegant play was just beautiful. I can't really put into words how beautiful her play was. Everything about her was professional and very flexible. She arrived early and actually started a little behind schedule due to the fact that I had to wait until the parents showed before revealing the surprise. I asked if she could play Bach's cello suite no 2 as my wife walked in and it went beautifully. My wife burst into tears. This will be one of the best memories that we will have and so grateful that Magdalena made it all possible. Please do not hesitate to hire this incredible woman.
Magdalena did an amazing job for our small beautiful Halloween Wedding! With all the craziness of planning a micro wedding during Covid, she was beyond flexible we had to change location a week before our wedding and she made the adjustment so easy for us. She also learned all the theme songs we love to really make our ceremony so memorable!
Response from Magdalena Sustere, Cellist:
Thank you Melissa! It was a joy to be part of your special day. With all the unpredictable circumstances, you made your day special! I hope you two still get to have your dream wedding or anniversary in Ireland when everything in the world normalizes. Happy marriage to you two!
Magdalena was so flexible on our song choice, and expertly played the fill the length of time we had available. Having a solo cellist for our 13 person wedding was perfect, and she did an amazing job of giving the ceremony music and meaning. We'd definitely have her join us again!
