What you should know before hiring a Cellist for your wedding?
If you booking a cello musicians for your wedding, it is important to consider that the song list will be much shorter then solo violin or solo piano repertoire, due to the specification of this instrument. Solo Cello has an amazing, rich, and vibrant tone. There are some songs that sound heavenly on this instrument and some that are not. We highly recommend discussing all of your favorite songs with your cellist, to make sure that it will sound nothing less than beautiful! Check our Music list:
What do you need to provide for your cellist?
Please provide a shady place for your cellist. Direct sunlight can cause irreparable damage to the instrument. Big umbrella, extended canopy, or a shady spot under the tree-is preferable. Your musician will also need a chair without arms.
On the day of the event, your cellist will arrive 30 minutes before a prelude, to set up, warm-up, and go over any last-minute details with your event planner and officiant.
