Dan went above and beyond expectations

Dan played cello for our ceremony and MCed and DJed the entire reception. He catered to our every need and made sure to execute the day perfectly for us. We had multiple phone calls with him leading up to the event and he was always responsive and ready to do whatever we needed to make the day special. Dan was an integral part of the event and we could not have done it without him. 10/10 Recommend.

Amazing Addition to Any Wedding

Dan was fantastic - traveling from Austin to Azle west of Fort Worth, his ability to set the tone with his Cello for our wedding was perfect. We had a Southwestern vibe, and the cello was absolutely a fit. He was so flexible with my aisle music changes 48 hours before the wedding day, and a compliment of our guests throughout the night. We felt most confident in our choice in Dan as he prepared via FaceTime with us weeks before the big day, gathering details on our day-of schedule, preferences, and overall vibe. He is a true professional and joy to listen to, in a chaos that is the wedding industry!

Awesome Live Cellist for Wedding Events

Dan was incredible. He traveled to California with his cello and provided amazing live music during our wedding. He was easy to communicate with and offered a wide variety of songs to play, including many of our personal favorites. My wife and I got compliments about his playing throughout the weekend. He added a really unique experience to our wedding. 10/10 recommend.

Perfect for our San Clemente Wedding!

Dan traveled from Austin TX to San Clemente for our wedding and was a guest favorite to kick off the festivities at our venue. As guests were arriving & taking their seats for the ceremony, he was playing music to welcome them. He worked with us on the playlist he covered everything from classical wedding songs, pop covers and some classic rock. Our guests were raving about the vibe that his music provided for our beachy wedding! We absolutely recommend Dan, he’s incredibly talented, professional, easy to work with and made our wedding ceremony so special.

Best Cellist Ever!

Dan flew from Austin to perform at my wedding in Tampa. He played a range of songs from Ed Sheeran to Eric Clapton and everything in between. It was a truly unique way for our guests to enjoy cocktail hour. He arrived early and set everything up seamlessly. He took requests and made everyone’s day playing all their favorite songs! I can’t recommend hiring him enough!

Dan is the BEST

Dan is an incredibly talented artist. He is willing to be malleable and play what you request, along with a large library of music he can lean on already in his arsenal. Beyond the obvious musical talent, Dan is amazing to work with, clear with his intentions, timing and performance and overall a great person. Not only all of this, but he flew across the country with his instruments just to play for us! 10/10, would recommend Dan to anyone.

The best ceremony musician!

Dan was so great to work with and truly amazing at what he does! We had seen him perform live before and knew we had to have him for our wedding ceremony. Having Dan play cello as I walked down the aisle was really magical. Dan was very professional throughout the entire planning process. He worked with us to pick great songs, arrived early to practice and was very flexible to last minute changes. Not to mention he traveled to the east coast to play for us!! Dan worked seamlessly with our other venders and lots of people complimented how much value he added to the ceremony. Would definitely recommend!!
