Kristopher played for my daughter's wedding ceremony and his music was so beautiful. He is so talented and all of our guests commented on how talented he is. We are so happy we hired him.

I cannot speak more highly of Kristopher. He was easy to communicate with and was very receptive to my selection of specific pop songs. He was very kind, friendly, and wonderful to interact with. And, of course, he is a fantastic cellist! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kristopher was amazing! He came to the rehearsal first and was able to play everything we asked for!
The wedding ceremony went perfect with the timing of all the different songs we requested, and he’s also just a really cool and nice person! We had the pleasure of getting to know him better at the rehearsal dinner & if we ever need to book a cellist again it will definitely be him!
He was communicative through the whole process after booking, on time to all of the requested dates, and very friendly and professional!

What to Expect
My specialty is adding a sense of class and elegance to your wedding or event. As a conservatory trained cellist, classical music is my forte. I do, however, I have a diverse repertoire ranging from pop to metal, so just let me know what you're looking for! My only requirement is that if your event is outdoors, I request to be underneath a shelter in case of rain or intense heat, as both are harmful to the cello.
Additional Booking Notes
Solo acoustic cello without backing tracks or recordings. Everything that I need performance wise, I will provide. It is imperative that I am under a shelter if outdoors as the elements are harmful to the cello.
