Solo Cellist

A solo cellist sounds beautiful in a wedding or private party. All our cello players are superb and experienced professionals and we fully guarantee availability upon booking. The elegant sound of the cello is perfect on its own, but some of our cellists also provide some tunes with backing tracks. From solo Bach to John Legend, there are lots of songs that fit the deep and melodic sound of the cello. Small and medium sized events are the most effective to use a solo cellist.

Here in this showreel video we made, Carrie is playing part of a Bach cello suite. It’s been a requested tune for the Bridal Entry music, as well as the Signing of the Register in weddings. Then ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ by Elvis with professional backing tracks that she plays through a small wireless speaker positioned next to her cello. This works really well as you have the live sound of the cello with the added bonus of a piano accompaniment. We’ve had great responses from our clients to the sound that this makes.

Get in touch with us to hire a solo cellist for your event.

Testimonials

We had a string quartet for our wedding and we were absolutely blown away with how absolutely amazing they were! Our guests commented on how fantastic the music was and it really made the ceremony and drinks reception so incredibly special. We were all so impressed with their repertoire, performing a mixture of classical pieces to current chart music which they thought was a lovely twist. Thank you again so much.
Bianca and Charles, wedding in Swan at the Globe, London

Nancy and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your fellow musicians for playing at our wedding last month. We both thought you were fantastic and perfect for what we wanted. Please also pass on our thanks to Dave the DJ who was also absolutely spot on and had everyone up and dancing! We will certainly recommend you to others!
Ben and Nancy, wedding in Pembroke Lodge – won ‘Surrey Wedding of the Year.’

‘May I just repeat our gratitude for the very important role you played in our wedding, and for bending over backwards to accommodate my vision. The original and fun atmosphere simply could not have been achieved without your involvement! Everyone was just brilliant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others, and I’d happily call on you again for other occasions.’
Katrina and Adam, wedding in Burgh House, Hampstead.

As I am sure most couples say, it was the best day ever and part of that was having Liquid Strings play at our ceremony and reception. I cannot tell you how much I loved hearing Sigor Ros as I came in, and leaving with Elbow was just perfect. Many of our guests have said how fabulous Liquid Strings were and it really did add something special to our day.
Stuart and Laura Coles, wedding in Orleans House Gallery

I just want to pass on my thanks to your musicians for making our wedding day extra special. The harp was fantastic and all the guests commented on how her music fitted the venue and mood. I would also like to pass on a special thank you to Scarlett and her band who did a great job in the evening and also the DJ.
