Very professional and highly talented

He was on time and played beautifully. The bride and groom had an extensive classical and modern song list to choose from. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends. He shares with you videos of his performances so you can hear him before you book him. so good

Alexey was fantastic to work with! 5/5

Alexey was fantastic to work with! I asked Alexey to perform at my wedding during my ceremony and cocktail hour. He was extremely responsive and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding him and his associate were on time and very prepared. And they provided a great performance!

After my wedding, I had multiple people ask for Alexey’s information because they were so impressed by their work! I would absolutely recommend Alexey to anyone looking for musicians for their big events!

Simply Outstanding!

Alexey went above and beyond to make our Special Day...Perfect! We had hired Alexey to play when our guests were arriving, during the ceremony, and the cocktail hour. He followed and executed all my musical selections, from the when and where I wanted them played at the Wedding. He is also very talented and you feel the emotion in every piece he plays. Our guests are still talking about the Cellist, that's how great and professional he was.
I highly recommend Alexey to take your event to the next level of "Splendor and Elegance."

Alexey - Cellist

I hired Alexey and his colleague, Boris, to play at my wedding in July. They were absolutely AMAZING. My husband and I provided them with a list of songs we wanted played during our ceremony, and they performed them flawlessly. After the ceremony, they performed a set list of songs they curated themselves - the guests loved it!

I would absolutely recommend Alexey for a wedding performance (or any other special event). He was professional, kind, accommodating, and responsive. I had a wonderful experience!
