Cello for your wedding, service, or event.
The cello brings a touch of magic to any occasion. Whether you’re planning a wedding, proposal, memorial, or other special event, the cello’s rich, expressive sound sets the perfect mood.
I’ve played for more than 200 weddings and events, and what I enjoy most is working with my clients to create something personal. We’ll choose music that’s meaningful to you, that fits the moment and leaves a lasting impression.
From the initial planning to the final note, I’m dedicated to creating the best experience for you.

“Nick was the amazing cellist at my husband’s and I’s wedding in May. His level of professionalism and artistry made him the perfect addition to your special day. From the first interaction, Nick was flexible and open to any ideas when it came to the music selection. He was also good with giving suggestions when there were moments of indecisiveness on my side 🙂 I highly recommended him for any occasion!”

“Nick is an incredibly talented and expressive musician who was tremendously flexible and so enthusiastic about our celebration. He did a fantastic job tailoring his performance to the pieces that are special to us including some unconventional covers. He made himself available by phone and in person regularly while we were ironing out the details and never made me feel like a “bridezilla”. My husband and I were so lucky to have Nick play for our special day!”
– Amanda
“Nick was wonderful. He played very beautifully for the ceremony, he was there on time and he really helped us with the right selection. Wonderful musician, just great! We really would recommend him. We were extremely happy to have such a professional musician come out to the wedding and we received compliments on his playing from guests afterwards.
