It's Your Day, Make It Yours!

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 made 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. I will be honored to make your wedding day more beautiful, special, and memorable!

"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."

"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."
