Solo Cello -
Cello Solo for Weddings and Special Events
If your event space is on the more intimate side, consider a solo cellist. Rich, warm and expressive, the cello can fill a space beautifully on its own - whether you’re looking for elegant background music or a memorable performance for one of the most important moments of your day.
Our professional cellists are highly experienced performers, with careers performing in high-profile concerts, weddings, events and major performances throughout the UK and internationally. We bring the same level of musicianship and attention to detail to an intimate wedding ceremony as we do to a concert hall. We are regularly on stage with orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic and BBC Symphony, and have worked for corporate clients including John Lewis, Netflix for the series Bridgerton, the Royal Family, Adidas, Warner Bros, LAD Bible, the Financial Times, and more.
The cello is particularly beautiful for romantic occasions, and has a rich, deep sound.
Hire a Solo Cellist for your Special Event or Wedding
A cello works beautifully throughout a wedding day and can be used for as much or as little of the occasion as you wish.
Your cellist could perform:
As wedding guests arrive and take their seats
During the processional or bridal entrance
During the signing of the register
As you leave the ceremony
During drinks receptions
For a romantic dinner or wedding breakfast
During the cake cutting
For your first dance
At a proposal or other special moment
For a bridal entrance in particular, a live cello arrangement of a meaningful song can create an incredibly personal moment.
Explore our Cello Solo and Cello Duo Repertoire
Our repertoire includes Classical, Pop, Bridgerton, Contemporary, Film, Disney and more. We work closely with our clients to curate a bespoke cello playlist that suits their vision, and brings the musical side of their day to life.
We also take special requests, and offer one complimentary song or piece of music. Please let us know what you’d like to hear, and we’ll see if the sheet music is available!

Why Hire a Solo Cellist?
There is something particularly intimate about hearing a single cello played live. With its warm, expressive tone and remarkable versatility, a solo cellist can create a beautiful atmosphere without overwhelming the space.
A beautiful sound, even on its own
The cello has an incredibly rich and resonant sound, with a range that can move from delicate and intimate to powerful and dramatic. It works beautifully in smaller, more intimate venues.
Perfect for small wedding ceremonies
A solo cellist can provide music throughout your ceremony, from the arrival of your guests and bridal entrance to the signing of the register and your first moments as a married couple.
A surprisingly versatile repertoire
The cello isn't limited to classical music. Alongside Bach’s Solo Cello Suites, The Swan and other classical favourites, a solo cellist can perform pop songs, film music, Bridgerton arrangements, Bollywood favourites and much more.
Make your music personal
Perhaps there is a particular song that means something to you. We can arrange special requests for solo cello, allowing you to have music that is genuinely personal to your event.
Ideal for intimate events
A solo cellist is a wonderful choice when you want live music but might not have the room or budget for a larger ensemble. It works particularly well for proposals, private dinners, small drinks receptions, intimate corporate events and smaller wedding celebrations.
Elegant, memorable and effortless
Live cello adds atmosphere and sophistication without taking over the occasion. Whether providing a gentle musical backdrop or performing a song chosen especially for you, a solo cellist can make an important moment feel even more memorable.
