We hired Heather (Stay Tuned Music) to provide cello accompaniment for a worship service at our church. She was a pleasure to work with—arriving on time, well prepared, and performing beautifully. Communication was easy, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and reliable cellist!

Robin was great to work with before the wedding, she met with us online to review the type of performance we were looking for. She worked great with the day of coordinator, and timed perfectly for each party as we walked down the aisle. Her performance got many compliments from our guests, and gave our ceremony a lovely atmosphere

Adam played cello at our Nantucket wedding and was an absolute delight! He went above and beyond, offering fabulous song suggestions that made our celebration feel so personal and special. His musical ability is astonishing, and his warm, engaging personality made working with him a joy. Adam brought so much beauty and heart to our intimate wedding. He would be the perfect addition to any gathering, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!
