David did well at everything that we asked of him, including agreeing to a week's postponement owing to Tropical Storm Ophelia. He provided an advance play list of the classical compositions we requested for the party, arrived on time, appeared in a full black tuxedo, and played extremely well for a full two hours. We highly recommend him.
David was amazing. Our guests loved his music. Will definitely refer him to our guests and will hire him for our next event!

Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you very much, Tiffany! I really appreciate it! Great working with you!
David was on time and very professional. His music was so beautiful!!!! All of my guests raved about him. He made my daughter's wedding very special! I highly recommend Amazing Cello!
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much, Mary!! I really appreciate it!
David played for the memorial for my husband. We were very lucky to find him available. We also asked him to play songs that were meaningful for me and my husband but with which he wasn’t familiar. Nevertheless he learned them and played them beautifully. David is a polite, friendly, talented young man. I’m sure you’d be very happy if you hire him for your event. We would hire him again and recommend him highly.
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you very much!! I really appreciate it!
We found and booked him on short notice. He worked hard to find and study some specific songs that were needed for our memorial. He was gracious, friendly, generous and did a really nice job under stress. These were NOT traits we were finding in anyone else. If you really want cooperation, hire him, and tip him well. He's a good guy.
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much, Diane!! It’s my great pleasure playing memorial service for you! I really appreciate it! Thanks

We also enjoyed his warm personality. I wish I could give him ten stars review because he really deserves it.

David (Number One) made my wedding ceremony an absolute dream! He was friendly, professional and offered ideas for the wedding music. He played beautifully and dressed in a sharp tux. My wedding ceremony was a dream and having the cello play as I waled down the aisle made it a fairy tale. I highly reccommend. Thank you!
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much, Andricka!! I really appreciate it! Wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!!

Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you very much, Marisa! I appreciate it! Have a great one!

I hired David to play a particular song for my entrance as the bride at my wedding. We went over the details several times from when he was hired, until the day before the ceremony. He said he didn't have any questions or concerns. I even paid for the scored sheet music to ensure he had the correct song and everything he needed. Instead, as I'm waiting to enter, he begins to play traditional classical music. After a short pause, I simply proceeded to enter as only a few of us knew what he should have been playing and that he wasn't playing it. That was a planned moment that he ruined and I was extremely disappointed.
Response from Amazing Cello:
Hi, Tamra, I'm so sorry to hear you're disappointed! But I have to tell you, I was very confused yesterday, you didn't give me right direction! You told me your maid will sing the song and I should accompany her, so I prepared accompany parts and you said that's the only song need me to accompany. But until I arrived your maid didn't communicate to me at all, even didn't show up to sing the song. I was very confused what song should I play when the bride comes in! At least you have to tell me you want me to play solo, instead of accompany her, she doesn't wanna sing anymore. I didn't get any notice! You didn't inform me anything at all. I was very confused and disappointed!! If you need me to play this song by solo, you should let me know ahead!
He was very accommodating and his choice of pieces were spot on for a memorial service. He plays beautifully and very professional
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much, Mary!! I really appreciate it! Wish you all the best! Have a great one! Thank you!

Amazing experience. I hired David to perform during appetizers. The music was great! He also agreed to play a duet with my 10 year old nephew and this turned out great. My nephew was so excited to be playing with a professional. Overall great experience.
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much, Victoria!! I appreciate it! Wish you all the best this new year!
My guests loved him!
Response from Amazing Cello:

David was perfect for the occasion. We will definitely hire him again.
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much, Susan!! I really appreciate it! It was great experience to play for your event! Thank you!! Keep in touch! Have a great day!!
Best,
David
From what my guests tell me, he played beautifully. The only reason he did not get a five is because he played the wrong song for me to walk down the aisle.
I am not sure if this was his error or my wedding planners, but he did quickly changed it to the right song. I would definitely hire him again. And I have already referred him to several guests.
Response from Amazing Cello:
Hi, Chris, Thank you very much for your review! Actually, I didn't get instruction from your wedding planner about the order of songs. She told me at the back when the ceremony started. Hope you understand! Sorry about that!
David
David was wonderful -- he showed up early, played beautifully, and was absolutely professional! A total must at your next event!
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much, Kyle!! I really appreciate it! Looking forward to play for your next event again! Have a great summer!
David was excellent!
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you so much! Let me know when you need music service! Thank you! Have a great weekend!
From the beginning until the end David was very professional and responsive. He plays very beautiful music and was able to learn the piece of music that I wished for walking down the aisle. He learned the song in no time and played it beautifully! Am very happy that I decided to use him for our wedding. Thank you David!
Response from Amazing Cello:
Thank you very much, Nikki! I’m so glad to play for your wedding!
Wish you happiness all the life, love each other forever!
Excellent music service! David played music for my wedding ceremony. His music was so elegant, beautiful! Definately book him again in the future!
