So many of our guests commented on how much they love the beautiful cello music. Thank you, Chloe
She is amazing at what she does! Chloe made our wedding sound beautiful and it was the guest’s favorite to hear live Cello! She played every single song we requested and she did an amazing 10/10 job! Highly recommend her for your next event or wedding!!
Chloe played beautifully at our wedding in May! She was lovely to work with, and was even able to accommodate some last minute decisions on music from us - but also made it easy with a long repertoire to choose from! I would definitely recommend hiring Chloe for your wedding, and would 100% work with her again! We received many compliments from our guests.
All I can say is that Chloe is a very accomplished cellist and a delight to work with. It was such a treat having her play for our staff meeting.
Chloe performed at our company holiday party and was exceptional. We look forward to having her again next year. Thank you.
Communicated in timely manners before the recording session, arrived on time and recorded her part beautifully in less time than we had allowed for. I highly recommend Chloe for any of your cello needs.

I had the privilege of booking Chloe for my son's Celebration of Life event, in July. She was highly respectful, an amazing musician, worked collaboratively with our other musicians and added the most beautiful touch to our celebration. Thank you so much, Chloe! I would highly recommend hiring her for your event!
Respectfully,
Deborah Coblentz
Chloe was exceptional. She helped plan my ceremony music with her knowledge of classical music. She was very communicative before the event. And she played wonderfully! Would definitely hire her again!
Chloe's performance added such a special touch to our small wedding ceremony, and perfectly set the tone for the day! Leading up to the wedding, she helped us choose music that would fit the mood we were looking for, and her performance was top-notch. I would recommend her to anyone!!
Chloe is a true talent and gift! She was so prepared and gave so much life to the project!
Thank you, Chloe! You continue to set the right mood.
On time, in tune & cheery as always, Chloe was a delight! We will certainly book again :) Thank you!!!!
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thanks, Gayle ! Always a pleasure :)
I can't rave enough about Chloe and what she brought to our wedding celebration. She was able to learn and arrange multiple new songs for our wedding ceremony, in a relatively short time frame. She was professional, communicative, accommodating, timely and -most importantly- her playing was beautiful and perfectly fit the vibe of our redwood grove ceremony. She's among the best, and I can't recommend her enough.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you!!
Chloe's music was an amazing addition to our event. She played beautifully and our guests truly appreciated her music and her presence. She was also very punctual and professional. I highly recommend her and believe she can help add a great atmosphere to your next event!
Chloe was fantastic. She was able to learn a few songs for our wedding and played them beautifully along with several other songs she had already had in her repertoire. Chloe was easy to work with, professional, punctual and is very talented. Would highly recommend booking with her.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you , Payam ! All best to you and Kayla
Beautiful music and a pleasure to work with!
Chloe was great. Very professional and played beautifully.
Chloe was exceptional! She was very easy and accommodating to work with, both prior to and during our wedding. She gracefully performed all songs that we requested be played on our special day. Easy breezy communication and everything sounded amazing! We would highly recommend booking Chloe for your event, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Chloe!!
Chloe was very responsive and provided the perfect background music for our Holiday Tea.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you, Monica :)
I hired Chloe to play background music for several hours at my engagement party, and I am so glad I found her! She is an incredibly talented musician and many of the partygoers complimented her music selection and performance. Overall, she wowed the crowd and made my event so much more meaningful and special. I'd highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a talented event musician.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you 🙏🏻
Chloe performed as a solo cellist for our wedding in our backyard in Oakland. She was fantastic and really set the mood for our arrivals and ceremony. She was able to perform every song I requested, came fully prepared, was available in advance to discuss, provide suggestions when I asked, and ultimately executed wonderfully. I would not hesitate to book Chloe for your event!!
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thanks a lot, Ken !
Chloe was kind and professional. Her beautiful music was a perfect selection snd created a soft tone where conversation could easily be heard. All the guest made very good comments throughout the evening.
I’d highly recommend her.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:

Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you!! :)
Everything we wanted and beyond. Beautiful playing, professional, absolutely perfect. Thank you for making our day so special :)
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you!
Excellent responsiveness, and self sufficient on the day of the event. Chloe was the solo cellist our wedding, and we were more than thrilled! She was so versatile, and easily mixed classical pieces with newer requests. Her timing was brilliant throughout the ceremony, and of course she played beautifully!
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thanks a lot Matt!
Chloe was on time, poised, understood what we expected at the service, and played with a lot of emotion.
Everybody commented on how beautiful the musical selections complemented the occasion.
I am so grateful for her contribution to the service.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you so much, Jesus!
Chloe played solo for our small wedding ceremony and nailed it. Arrived early, entertained the guests, and supported the ceremony with requested songs. I appreciated the last minute coordination - I booked two days before the event!
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you, Simon. It was a beautiful wedding ceremony, congrats!
Chloe played for our farewell picnic at the Palace of Fine arts, and it was lovely. Her playing was superb. She was responsive and thoroughly professional. She wore a mask for the entire time. Everyone had a beautiful afternoon. I would absolutely recommend her for your event!
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you, Audra ! Glad I was part of your event :)
We asked Chloé to play at our wedding and we're so glad we did! Her communication before the event was fast and clear. She showed up on time. Her music was beautiful, both in selection (which we left to her) and in execution. She was very accommodating of our request to accompany us in singing a hymn and led the singing at an upbeat but comfortable tempo.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
It was my pleasure !
Chloe was fabulous, wonderful wedding. It’s verry different to have just a solo cello. My daughter wanted a very minimalist approach for her wedding. Would most definitely recommend Chloe.
If was perfect.
Response from Chloe Mendola- Cellist:
Thank you very much, Louise ! That was a pleasure.
