The act
From your guests' arrival through to the last dance, one act can carry the whole wedding here, and it starts with a cello. Annette Eldridge plays solo cello or violin for the arrival, the ceremony and dinner, and her cello feature has her playing live around the venue at the key moments of a reception. Then the Cello and DJ Fusion: live cello to open the evening, and as the night builds, DJ sets with cello improvised over deep house, dance anthems and current hits. The repertoire runs from Halo by Beyonce to Lady by Modjo. Twenty years in the industry sit behind her. Based in Melbourne, she's a natural fit for a couple who want classical elegance early and a full dance floor later without changing hands.

Good to know
What to expect
Entertainment planned with you from the first idea through to the night itself, rather than someone who turns up on the day and plays. Annette Eldridge works across string ensembles, feature cello and violin, and DJ bands, so one event can move from classical strings during arrival and dinner to dance music later without swapping suppliers. The client list includes Google, Ferrari, Mastercard and the Melbourne Fashion Festival, which tells you the standard she's used to working at.
On the day
A covered performance area, out of the weather, since instruments and rain are a bad combination. Access to power as well, where the setup you have chosen needs it. Everything else gets handled at her end.
Set List
The repertoire covers a lot of ground. Beyonce's Halo sits on the same list as Modjo's Lady, which gives you a fair idea of how far it stretches. Ask and she'll send the full list through.
Performance options
Solo cello or violin suits guest arrival, a wedding ceremony, or canape and dinner music. The cello feature booking has her playing live around the venue during key moments of a wedding or corporate event, moving through the room rather than staying on a stage. The DJ and cello option starts the evening with live cello playing modern classics and film music, then shifts into DJ sets with live cello improvised over the top, working through deep house, dance anthems and current hits as the night builds. Every package can be reshaped to fit what you're planning.
