Jake is a talented and wonderful musician. Guests were so impressed to arrive to live music, what can be better? He was wonderful to work with and he elevated our dinner party! Thank you Jake.
Response from Cello by Jake:
Thanks Elsa! It was great to play for you.
Jake was not only an impeccable musician but also a professional. His playing brought so much beauty to our event. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Jake for your beautiful gift.
Jake was amazing from booking to performance. He said it would be a beautiful day and he was not wrong. On booking he informed us he could provide his own seating but required shelter if it was wet. Lucky for us we did not need a shelter. We made a personalised musical request, cello and violin. Wish I got it recorded. Thank you Jake.
Response from Cello by Jake:
Thank you Fiona!
My guests were very impressed with Jake's performance at the wedding ceremony. He played beautifully and paid attention to cues. I highly recommend him!
Jake you made Mother’s Day so special for my mother
My mom had the following words about the performance
My concert in the park was extraordinary, you couldn't believe how heavenly it was to listen to Bach with the trees, the breeze, the sun, the birds and a few friends sharing this joy. It will always be a special memory and it was not lost on any of us. All agreed it was a very special way to spend this Sunday afternoon after a "lockdown of culture " that has lasted so long.
Jake was charming and joyful, he played with a great heart.
We highly recommend Jake. He is talented. He was flexible and accommodating with short notice. He inquired about dress preference and we chose outdoor comfortable over formal. Best of all he gave a wonderful performance that brought joy to my mother and her friend on her special day

Jake was friendly, professional and played beautifully for our ceremony and reception. We had inclement weather and he was very adaptable to the last minute at working with us to create the most perfect wedding ceremony. We would absolutely hire Jake again for a future event. Thanks again!
Response from Cello by Jake:
Thanks, and congratulations!
I hired "Cello" for a studio session and we ended up working remotely via email as he had his own recording equipments. He understood my non-technical indications perfectly. Following only a guide track, Jake delivered exactly what I had in mind, in high quality and at a very good rate.
I will definitely contact him again for the next sessions and highly recommend his services.
Thanks again!
Price Range: $200+ for live music. Contact for recording rates.
