Meghan provides gorgeous cello music for any occasion. She plays with artistic excellence cultivated at two competitive universities and brings a high level of professionalism and timely communication.
We hired Meghan to play our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier. The music was beautiful and Meghan was a joy. We highly recommend!
Meghan was so professional. She was easy to work with, and very patient with me, as I had much going on. She sounded beautiful, and my guests, my husband and I just loved her playing. I would definitely recommend her!!!
Thank you, Meghan!!!
We had been thinking for an authentic/original touch for our wedding ceremony music and knew of just the person to go to. Meghan not only made the wedding perfect, but really set the mood for the night! We are so glad we picked her to play for our special night. A++++
We were lucky enough to have Meghan play cello at our wedding, during the ceremony. Simply put, she was amazing. As my wife and I recapped the event the next morning over coffee, going over each detail, we found out that we both had people come up to us and ask us who the cellist was! Not only did it enhance the special moments, like walking down the isle, but her music made that part before the ceremony starts (where everyone is just waiting for the thing to start already) so enjoyable - it was like having a mini-concert before the ceremony began!
Meghan was easy to work with, professional and provided lovely music for wedding ceremony. I highly recommend booking Meghan for your next event!
Price Range: $300 and up for the first hour.
