April Cello

The act

For couples who love the romance of strings, April Cello keeps wedding music current rather than overly formal. She layers cello parts through looping technology, building the breadth of a small string section from one performer. Her contemporary covers include music by Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, The Beatles and Vance Joy, giving you plenty of recognisable choices for the day. A ceremony can include music as guests arrive, your entrance, the register signing and the bridal party exit, followed by another short set. The moment to linger over is the afternoon stretch, with cello playing while everyone mingles and the canapes go around.

Good to know

What to expect

Think of the lush string soundtrack under a Bridgerton scene, except it's your favourite love songs and there's one person playing it. Looping technology lets April layer cello part on cello part until the sound fills out like a small string section. The song list is contemporary rather than classical, made up of warm, swooning, toe-tapping songs your guests will already know.

On the day

Power at each performance location, within 40 metres. If you're moving her from one spot to another during the booking, allow up to 15 minutes for the move and setup, and there'll be no music during that gap. She also needs proper shelter from rain, strong wind and heavy heat, which might mean a sheltered spot or something put up for the purpose.

Set List

Contemporary covers, chosen because people know them and react to them. Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat, Coldplay, U2, Ed Sheeran, Michael Buble, Ellie Goulding, The Beatles, Taylor Swift and Vance Joy are all in there, among others. It's string music with a modern turn to it, and it tends to surprise people who were expecting something more formal.

Performance options

The ceremony booking covers pre-ceremony music while your guests arrive, your chosen songs for the bridal entrance, the signing of the register and the bridal party exit, then a short set to close the ceremony off. The longer option adds music through the afternoon while guests mingle and canapes go around. That second part is her favourite stretch of the day, and it's where the atmosphere really gets made.
