It's Your Day, Make It Special

From the moment your early guests arrive, this live cello music creates an approachable, elegant atmosphere in a way that recorded music simply can't match.

 

More than 100 available songs for simple to formal weddings, including pop, classical, singer-songwriter, country, Disney, and classic love songs from all the decades.

 

Based on the music you like and the moods you have in mind, I'll create a performance that will deliver, making your wedding day more beautiful, special, and memorable!

Must-Have Wedding Songs?

Maybe it's a trending ceremony song, or maybe it's a song from your favorite local band. Either way, you've got to have it. I totally understand and gladly fill requests for any song. 

 

But if you're like most couples, you'll decide on your music as your wedding gets closer. Whenever works for you works for me, and your service will be 5-stars.

About

I believe a wedding is a perfect reason to play music! I love bringing calming and romantic energy to set the stage with your arriving guests. During the ceremony, I create magical memorable moments while keeping the focus on you and everyone in your wedding.

If you enjoy my sound, I know you'll love your wedding music. Someday, you'll look back and say, "Our wedding had live cello music, and it was beautiful!"

"Ryan is incredible. Very easy to work with. Flawless and beautiful playing. A huge catalog of songs and a happy willingness to learn anything not on his already extensive list. Honestly, this was probably the best money we spent on our wedding. I can't imagine it without it. I would highly recommend this service if you're considering it. You will not be disappointed!"

"Ryan was amazing. Easy to work with, even from a state away. The music was so perfect, well composed and well played. He really made it special. He was worth every penny we spent and then some. I'll never forget walking down the aisle to the perfect song played live by this lovely artist."
