Christine was amazing!

Christine played her beautiful cello during our ceremony next to the river at our venue. The setting accompanied by the beautiful music she played made for the most memorable ceremony I could ever ask for. She was so helpful while organizing ceremony details and great at communicating so we could get our songs chosen. So thankful to have her part of our day.

Christine is an amazing Cellist and a lovely person!

Christine played many pieces of music at an outdoor ceremony. She is a talented and experienced musician who plays beautifully. The attendees at the ceremony commented on how much they enjoyed her cello playing throughout the event. I would highly recommend her for hire at any celebration. She is also a wonderful person and plays from the heart!!

It was perfection!

We hired Christine (cellist with The Amaryllis Ensemble) for our daughter's wedding ceremony - to play three times with other musicians: for the bridal entrance, a hymn and a song. Her performance was flawless and really made our dreams come true for the beauty of the ceremony. She was so very professional and easily worked with the other musicians for a seamless performance. I am so very thankful that we were able to work with you, Christine.
