Our wedding
An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The music performed on cello by Joshua and violin by his co musician was beautiful and made our wedding ceremony exactly how I envisioned it. We are so grateful to have found them. -

Excellent cellist for our wedding
We were so happy that we hired Josh for our wedding. Our only regret is that we didn’t have him play longer. Highly recommend. -

Perfect Addition To Artsy, Bohemian Style, Beach Wedding
Joshua was so easy to work with and eased the typical stressors associated with planning an out-of-state wedding in an unknown area. He honestly felt like part of our family! His beautiful cello solos were perfect for the unique aura of our daughter's intimate Atalaya Castle wedding in Murrells Inlet, SC. Tysm, Joshua! -

Joshua was fantastic and very professional!
Joshua provided the perfect background music for our professional event. He knew the right kind of music to play to create the perfect ambiance. He was prompt, professional and needed little guidance while we were taking care of other things before the reception began. I would recommend him! -

Fabulous experience!
Joshua was prompt in communication, reasonably priced, and had musical suggestions that helped us greatly on our wedding day. Classical or pop type of options and the flexibility to even offer up a Rush tune for me and GOT theme! My wife wanted a cellist for the ceremony and we are very pleased that we were able to get Joshua for our special day, and you will be too. Highly recommend! -

Awesome arrangements!
My husband found Joshua on Gigmasters, and it was meant to be. We met with him before the wedding and he was very patient with us as we figured out the song choices for the wedding. He spent time playing a wide variety of songs for us, and he didn't hesitate when we asked for a special arrangement of one of our favorite songs. When he sent the demo over a few weeks before the wedding, it was a real dream come true! We are so happy that he was a part of our day and we highly recommend working with him! -

Great music to add that something special to your wedding!
Joshua was very quick to respond to emails, easy to work with, and on time! He was the perfect "extra" we needed to make our wedding more intimate and special. I searched around and got quotes from several other professionals in the area, Joshua was by far the most reasonable, but also the best fit for our day! I'm so glad we found him! -

Beach Wedding
After having to postpone the wedding due to the hurricane, it was refreshing to work with someone that was so accommodating and easy going! Joshua and his colleague made our big day extra special and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the music was! A huge thank you to Joshua! We highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to make their special moment extra special! -

Wonderful!
Joshua was a fantastic addition to our intimate wedding. We were unable to have amplified music at our venue, so I started researching live musicians to play before and during the ceremony and Joshua had great reviews as well as a reasonable rate. He was prompt, professional, and played beautifully! You will not regret hiring him. -

Perfect for our intimate ceremony
I cannot recommend Joshua enough! I specially asked him for a slightly obscure song, that held an extremely special place in my heart for my dad and I. He spent time formatting the song to his cello. Thank you! -

Perfect for ceremony and cocktail hour
Very professional! Ceremony and cocktail hour were in separate rooms on separate floors so I worried about the hassle of moving quickly between events but it was flawless! I didn’t know many of the classical songs so I asked josh to pick the selections for me and it was great! Thanks you! -

Joshua was wonderful! We're so glad we went with him. The process was very easy and he was very accommodating, even halfway through when I decided we needed to add a violinist and change the music from traditional to contemporary. He was able to find someone quickly. On the day of, they showed up promptly, set up, and left without much direction needed. The music was beautiful and made the ceremony so memorable. We are so glad we went with him and highly recommend his services! -

Josh was exceedingly professional - he was super responsive, made things incredibly easy by having plenty of song ideas, and quickly set up a contract and made payment via paypal very simple. I didn't have an event coordinator and so ended up dealing with a plethora of details in the moments leading up to the ceremony (including changing ceremony location due to rain) but it was clear that Josh had done this so many times that he needed minimal direction. He and the violinist (which he recommended!) pulled off a phenomenal performance. I highly recommend him! -

Joshua was absolutely wonderful. We had a few songs in mind but otherwise left the playlist up to him. Many of our guests commented on how great his addition was to the ceremony. He was very prompt with returning messages and was really easy to work with. We both highly recommend Joshua for your big day. -

What happens when you have two ridiculous people getting married? You have to put high expectations on your vendors, especially the musicians. When I first contacted Joshua I told him "yes classical music would be fine." Within a week or so we had changed our mind and I was trying to figure out how Rush and Miley Cyrus Party in the USA would sound on Cello. Turns out- not too bad! He was willing to work with us and learn songs he will probably never need again to make our day truly personalized. I have no doubt there isn't a song he can't make sound amazing. -

I am so happy we found Joshua Colbert to play as the solo cellist at my daughter's wedding at the Torpedo Factory in Ols Town, Alexandria, VA. He was quick to respond, had many helpful suggestions for our music choices, and was just a kind, patient and thoughtful person to work with. On the wedding day, he arrived early and played so beautifully. The music put it all together and made for a memorable and elegant wedding ceremony. I highly recommend Joshua Colbert's music services. -

Joshua was absolutely spectacular. My wife and I wanted live musicians to play during our outdoor wedding ceremony, but we weren't sure who to select given the myriad of wedding musicians in the area. We are so happy that we selected Joshua to play at our wedding. We booked him along with a violinist, and both of them performed beautifully! Their skillful performance of Pachelbell's Canon in D brought tears to my eyes as I saw my bride for the first time as she walked up the aisle.
He was also so helpful along the way with selecting music for the day. He gave us recommendations, and we couldn't be happier with what he gave us. He was very patient as we took our time to select our musical pieces. His response time was also superb. He would always respond to our emails within a day. The ceremony music was the least stressful part of all of the wedding planning because of the great work that Joshua did! We highly recommend him! -

Joshua was hands down AMAZING! I was uncertain what kind of music I wanted for the wedding, so Joshua actually came to our home to play for us. This was huge for me, as I am a musician myself and have never known any professional musician to go that far above and beyond to come to their home to play. He had such a variety of both classical and pop selections in his repertoire that it was hard to choose! When we got closer to the wedding weekend, Joshua was in constant contact to clarify our song selections. His recommendation of separating classical music as the prelude and then pop music for the ceremony music was brilliant - it truly set a separate tone for each stage of the ceremony and prepared the guests for the shift.
For the rehearsal, not only was he early, but very receptive to adapting his performance to fit our nontraditional wedding party size. During the ceremony (between tears), I was absolutely amazed that he was able to gauge my entrance perfectly to Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love" so that the music resolved and didn't feel unfinished. His rendition of "Happy" for the exit was perfect!!!
I would recommend Joshua wholeheartedly for any type of formal occasion, as his wide variety of repertoire spans all occasions. He really added some magic to our big day, and the level of service we received for the price was phenomenal. My husband and I are so thankful to Joshua for his talent and professionalism, and a number of guests commented about how much they enjoyed his music as well. I hope that you will consider Joshua for your event, as I truly believe that you won't go unsatisfied!! -

Joshua played at our outdoor wedding. He was incredibly kind, accommodating and perfectly professional. He basically eliminated the music from my list of "things to attend to" - providing music options for me to choose from for the ceremony, being incredibly prompt with responses, and initiating contact with me to confirm in the hectic pre-wedding chaos. He inspired confidence and put us at ease.
And for good reason! His sound is just beautiful - even better in person than his recordings - and he played for us with grace and aplomb despite being outside on a hot August day. His playing elevated our simple ceremony to something truly elegant. If you book Joshua as your cellist, you are guaranteeing a ceremony with beautiful music, absent of stress. I couldn't recommend him more highly! In fact, part of me is trying to think up other events I could host at which I might need a cellist so that I can book him again. Thank you, Joshua! -

Joshua played prelude and ceremony music for my wedding and i couldn't have been more impressed. Despite not beginning until 5pm, he arrived shortly after 3:30 to warm up early since the weather was colder than we expected. He was able to play classical and pop (thousand years, somewhere over the rainbow) which guests loved! Everyone thought his music was beautiful and I couldn't have been more happy with his services! -
