DJ Celli - Oct '23 wedding

DJ Celli performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding in October. Guests loved that they included a variety of pop and classical pieces. DJ Celli incorporated two personal touches into our ceremony, which we are still so appreciative of. They learned a piece of music that had sentimental significance, and also incorporated another musical performance into our ceremony. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking to book cello musicians for any special event!

The best decision we made!

DJ Celli was an absolute delight to work with! They made our wedding ceremony magical and it was the most beautiful thing ever! Very professional and communicated well. We wish we booked them for the whole wedding day because they were that amazing!! I have to say it was the best decision we made for our big day. 100000% worth it.

Incredible performance!

My husband and I booked DJ Celli for our August wedding ceremony this summer. David and Jennifer were so responsive and made the booking process a breeze! They provided recommendations and were able to perform a song of our choice for the bridal processional. Having them at our ceremony made everything feel like a dream. It was perfect! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking to hire cello musicians. They are a talented duo and it was our absolute pleasure working with them.
