December 17, 2025Left us scrambling
We were very excited for Sola to play at our wedding after seeing great reviews and hearing a sample. We sent him three songs, and he said he'd send us updates as he made progress with him. We booked him in September, for our wedding this December. We hardly heard from him, and when we reached out for updates, we didn't get anything (we did get a short video of one piece one time). The day before our wedding, we texted him to see how everything was going, if he would be joining for the rehearsal as he said he was, and he said he wasn't sure if he would be able to make it to our wedding and that he didn't know what to do. Safe to say we did not have a cellist for our ceremony. Things happen, but getting canceled the day before put us in a spot nobody should be in. To his credit, he did refund us.

October 9, 2025Storybook Performance!
Sola was the perfect addition to our special day! With minimal direction, he provided an incredible performance and helped set the tone of our wedding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the music was. From the moment the groom came down to Sola playing "Dearly Beloved" from Kingdom Hearts to our Beauty & The Beast first dance, Sola was a joy ❣️ I would definitely recommend.

August 11, 2025Excellent Performance
Sola Akinola performed at our College Trunk Party and did an amazing job. He performed an excellent mix of classical, r &b, gospel and broadway selections as requested. He is top notch and I would highly recommend his service and we will definitely use him again!
