Chris Devoe - Solo Cello

Highly recommend. Excelllent!!!!!

Chris played amazing and he could not have been more accommodating for our wedding. He was very professional and added a special touch to the event .

Of all the whirlwind of vendors we worked throughout the planning gauntlet, Chris tops the list in terms of how easy he made the process with both his clarity & friendliness. In complete contrast to the the chaos, indifference, or unresponsiveness we found with others, Chris was a beacon of light - always super communicative and timely with any/all replies. It really gave us peace of mind that we were always aligned and in good hands every step of the way!

Outside of the administrative side, Chris was super accommodating of all our quirks & modern music selections, always encouraging and eager to please. And boy did he deliver on the big day! He played fantastically & really set the atmosphere for a spectacular ceremony. Couldn't have asked for anything more!

Can and would hire Chris back on for any future event in a heartbeat & would recommend all others do the same!

In addition to playing beautifully, Chris was great about answering our questions and giving us helpful feedback on what different music selections would sound like on a solo cello. His music perfectly set the tone for our ceremony!

Chris was amazing from the start! Originally, we were looking for a violinist until Chris messaged me and asked if we considered a Cellist. As soon as we heard his work, we booked him! After that he made it very easy to select songs for our ceremony after giving some recommendations. There was one song originally where he respectfully gave his opinion that it would be better used for a different part of the ceremony. BUT what I love is that he was still willing to do that song. Even with that, we still went with his recommendation as he truly is an expert and reasoning just made sense! Weeks leading up to the ceremony, Chris reached out on any outstanding little details and encouraged me to reach out if I had any other questions to put me at ease for the day.

On the day of, Chris continued to be easy-going on set up location and some last minute switches on cues. Now to the music itself. It was BEAUTIFUL and I can't say enough great things! I can't recommend Chris enough!

Chris played the songs for our wedding exceptionally well! He arrived on time and was very professional.

Chris and his team played strings at our wedding ceremony. He and his team added the perfect touch to our event. Chris was easy to work with through the planning and extremely accommodating to our song requests. I cannot recommend Chris and his group enough.

Chris performed at our vow renewal and he was excellent. We first spoke when I was considering him and other a few other cellists, but he was very professional and pleasant. He made me feel at ease. After I hired him, he was flexible and willing to work with me on the songs I wanted (which I changed a few times and he never showed any signs of frustration). He was so understanding and willing! We weren’t sure how some of our requested songs would transfer to the cello, but somehow, someway, Chris made it work. I totally recommend him for you wedding or any event you’d want a cellist to perform.

Chris was prompt, courteous, pleasant, engaging and professional. This was the perfect entertainment to my garden tea party. He communicated beforehand and we connected to finalize the Playlist. Music choice was excellent! Smooth process throughout and very accommodating. I had to change the date due to rain and Chris made it work for me!

I hired Chris for an Album Release Party and he was not just an amazing player - but had to learn my original songs in a short time. Total professional and made my songs 150% better. Thanks Chris! Would love to do it again.

Chris did an amazing job at our wedding! Our guests were all impressed and told us what a nice selection of music he played.
He was very easy to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend him!

We hired Chris Devoe’s String Trio for our wedding and we were blown away! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how incredible they sounded and what an elegant touch it was having them! From having the string trio welcome guests all the way through the ceremony music, everything was simply amazing. They were able to take on special song requests throughout the planning process which was the extra cherry on top for us! We cannot thank Chris and his team enough for making our wedding extra special. Do yourself a favor and book them!!! It will absolutely make your wedding day perfect.

Chris was so lovely to work with from start to finish. I'm not well versed in music and wedding selections, and I needed help deciding the right items for our late-September wedding in Newport, RI. Chris was extremely responsive, and he helped me decide what selections to choose for the processional and recessional. He was early and really perfect all around. Thank you Chris, for making this portion of the day as seamless and stress-free as it was :).

Chris’ music was beautiful and perfect for our wedding. He was on time, professional and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you Chris!

We hired Chris to play for my mother's burial service, outside at the cemetery on a hot summer day. The music was a perfect accompaniment, and Chris was very easy to work with.

Chris performed amazingly for our small wedding ceremony held in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA in September of 2020. While we contacted him only a week before the event, he was able to learn several songs we requested for our special day. Chris arrived early to ensure he understood the ceremony sequence and did an excellent job of understanding the timing and sound we were looking for. We highly recommend Chris as he is an excellent musician and a really awesome guy. Thanks Chris for making our day extra special!

Chris was lovely! He played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it could not have been more perfect! We are so happy for choosing Chris to be a part of our special day.

Chris was very prompt with all communications and was open to and suggested additional pieces of music to perform during our wedding reception. On the day of the event he showed up early, found his place and began to warm up and ultimately play. He is very reasonably priced.

Chris was a consummate professional. He arrived at the time decided, was practiced, play impeccably!!! Our daughter was very happy with the quality of the music. Thank you, Chris, for making the ceremony so very special!

Mr. Devoe was an absolute delight to work with from initial contact, to musical advice for the wedding, to the actual playing at the wedding. He was exceptionally timely and polite in all his interactions and his play was simply beautiful, adding so much to the wedding ceremony. He is also very reasonably priced. Mr. Devoe has my highest possible rating for professionalism.

Chris was amazing! He arrived on time, was knowledgeable and communicative with us about music. He played beautifully and has a calm presence about him. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Just awesome!

Chris did a phenomenal job at our wedding. We had multiple people comment about how classy his performance was and how talented of an artist he ha Chris did a phenomenal job at our wedding. We had multiple people comment about how classy his performance was and how talented of an artist he is.

I hired Chris for my wedding cermony/cocktail hour...Chris was very easy to work with and very accommodating. He was on time and played all the songs I requested and was great at guiding me through the process. Very friendly, polite and talented!

Chris made sure he knew just what we wanted and was able to make helpful suggestions. He had no problem adapting to a last minute change. The music was beautiful and he helped to make our ceremony perfect. Thank you!
