The act
For a wedding moment you want to feel reflective, Melbourne Cello Co's rich cello sound is a lovely direction to consider. The cellists perform classical music as well as contemporary arrangements, allowing your choices to move between different musical periods. You could explore an entrance piece with personal meaning, or place a cello performance where guests can pause and listen after the ceremony. Their wedding offerings include solo artists and larger party bands, so there are several formats to discuss as you plan the celebration. Electric cello is also part of their contemporary approach to the instrument.

Good to know
What to expect
You tell them the event and they find the cellist for it, which takes the guesswork out of a job most people only do once. The players are professionals who turn up prepared, and they get in with time to spare rather than arriving as your guests do. They bring their own instruments and equipment, so nothing needs hiring in. Big event or a small one, the approach doesn't change much. And if you're not sure whether you want a solo cello or something larger, that's a conversation worth having early.
On the day
No fixed list here, because the answer depends on what you book. A solo cellist and a full ensemble need different amounts of floor space and different power access, so the requirements get settled once the line-up is. Their team will walk you through what your artist needs for your particular venue.
Performance options
Weddings and events both, and the format is yours to choose. A solo cellist at the quiet end, then classical duos and trios, string quartets and larger ensembles as you go up. Funeral music is covered as well. Electric cello is an option if you want a harder edge than a traditional string group gives you, and the repertoire spans classical through to contemporary arrangements.
Insurance and paperwork
