I am a classically trained musician with experience playing cello in the Alma College Symphony Orchestra as well as local West Michigan musical acts/bands including Eric Engblade, Olivia Mainville, and Watching For Foxes.
I can play a wide variety of classical and modern arrangements and any requests desired for weddings and special events. I also have numerous musician friends; so if requested, I could possibly put together a duet, trio, or quartet with piano, violin, viola, guitar, vocals etc.
I am also a singer-songwriter on the side, if that is of interest for the event.
Furthermore, I am willing to travel further than 200 miles for events; that was simply the limit on the site.
The process to booking Max was extremely seamless. We had rave reviews from the host and guest of the event. Will definitely book again.
Max was a pleasure to have at our wedding! He was willing to drive 2 hours for our special day and quoted us an extremely reasonable price. He was very responsive and was happy to take song requests and learn new songs. He showed up right on time, dressed for a wedding, and truly added such an element of elegance to our day. Thank you so much Max, I can not recommend him enough!
Max's professionalism and talent has had our college bring him back two years in a row for our event. If you are looking for a musician that embodies those qualities, MMC would highly recommend him.
We hired Max fairly last minute for a wedding and he was very easy to work with! He was able to accommodate all of our song requests and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely recommend.
Max provided an amazing performance and show for our guests! Very professional, kind, and talented. We look forward to working with him again in the future.
Great addition to our university awards event. True professional and very talented.
Max did a great job at our wedding! He learned ths songs I wanted for cello and he even stayed to be our DJ/MC for reception! He did well problem solving and going with the flow. Would highly recommend!
I booked Max for my proposal to my girlfriend. He learned Halo for me and played it phenomenally! He set everything up at the beach for when we arrived and started playing. He was the perfect added touch.
Very nice, music was absolutely perfect!
He was a terrific addition to our wedding. His communication beforehand was very responsive and was able to help w our sound issue w the venues lack of outdoor soundsystem. We would hands down work w Max again!
Max played for our wedding ceremony last week and he was great! So many of our guest complimented us about him. He was very easy to work with and willing to play the songs we wanted! Would highly recommend!
We were very happy with Max and his Music. He already had all the right equipment and the sound quality was really good. The music itself was really wonderful as well. Max is an amazing cellist; we will definitely think of him first for any future events.
Max provided the perfect background music during my daughter's wedding ceremony and during part of the dinner that followed. With only a few weeks' notice of the event, he was extremely flexible as the date and venue location changed. Max is not only a highly trained and gifted cellist, he also intuitively tunes in to the music needed in the moment. He was very professional with great concern for meeting the needs of the bride and groom and our small celebratory group, while easily blending with the celebration. I love that he felt comfortable joining us for a meal, once he finished playing. I can't recommend Max highly enough!
Max, was perfect. I asked for something specific and he nailed it. Very talented man. Wonderful. Thanks Max. Ray
Response from Minstrel Max Morrison:
Thanks for booking me, Ray, and letting me be part of your special evening. Happy anniversary!
Max was the perfect choice for my daughter’s wedding. He was a perfect communicator during planning and a pro on the wedding day. His music was the only music during the ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend him. Thanks Max for being a big part of making the perfect day for my daughter!
Max was great! He’s a great communicator, and was able to play the songs I wanted. He really added a beautiful touch to my ceremony
We hired Max to provide some solo cello music for our wedding. He played for 3 hours and our guests loved the music. He was accommodating and professional.
Max was on time and fully prepared to go! He practiced a hymn with the Pastor to make sure it went smoothly. He was the perfect touch to our wedding day celebration 🎊
Max did wonderfully. He sounded great and was everything we hoped for. Would give 10/10 and recommend to anyone looking for a cellist.
Max did an excellent job playing cello for our wedding! He was so easy going and responsive. He was flexible and easy to work with. Our guests thought having live cello was an amazing touch!
Minstrel Max Morrison played so beautifully! Such a talented cellist. We all enjoyed his music the night was perfect!
Max delivered a perfect experience for our outdoor garden wedding celebration. Beautiful Cello music during dinner and a mix of cello and guitar / singing(!!) throughout the night. Max is gracious and very talented. We will look for ways to use his services again!
Max is very talented, enjoyable and friendly. Do not hesitate to hire Max!
Max was absolutely incredible! He played Cello during our wedding ceremony (playing the songs we had specifically requested) then switched over to the guitar during our cocktail hour. Everyone loved him. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, had so many song suggestions, and was super easy going. Very talented!
Max was such a great addition to my mom’s 60th birthday party. He played both his cello and guitar (with singing!) and was fantastic!! He was prompt with replying to messages from me and was easy to work with. Our group of 35 people all loved what he brought to the party. You won’t regret hiring Max!
Max did a great job! He was easy to plan with and was perfect for my surprise engagement.
Max made our wedding day absolutely elegant. Max arrived early looking well put together and professional, he greeted us warmly, set up and began playing without direction. It was perfect. Max played both inside our home and then moved outside to the deck for the ceremony. He selected songs and executed perfectly. We cant thank Max enough for being a part of our day and sticking with us though the 90 degree summer day! I highly recommend Max for your event. We will have him back at the next opportunity!
Max did an outstanding job playing for our wedding ceremony and dinner. He is very talented as he proves excellence in playing the cello, guitar, and singing. He is a very hard working professional who goes above and beyond to make your event special, whether it's learning song requests, showing up early, or even just visiting with you! He plays and sings amazing. I recommend no one other than Max as he has proved himself the perfect musician for any event.
He made everything seem absolutely perfect!!!!He is so gifted!!! We were in amazement!!!! We so look forward to a “next time” !!!
Response from Minstrel Max Morrison:
Thank you for the kind review, Nora. It was a pleasure meeting you and your nice family. I had such a great time at both the ceremony and reception dinner. Looking forward to linking up in the future!

The cellist Max did an outstanding job. He remembered every detail that I provided to him and the wedding went smooth. I would HIGHLY recommend Max.
Max provided the perfect music for our evening--a small outdoor dinner party. He was professional and courteous, showed up early, and went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone was very impressed with his talent and asked where I had found him. I would highly recommend him.
Max arrived in a timely manor. He was very professional and did a great job!!
We are looking forward to hiring him in the future. 💕
It was a beautiful night and Max did a great job playing some music for our dinner out at our campground. I played in the pavilion for the guests and the campers in the surrounding area. Everyone enjoyed the evening very much! Thanks, Max!
We are so happy that we had Max come out and play for our wedding ceremony. His music added a special and memorable component to our ceremony! He was very easy to work with, played the songs that we requested (and was helpful with coming up with songs and working with our requests), and our guests very much enjoyed his music. We certainly would recommend Max to anyone else looking for a musical addition to their event.
Max did a great job for our Good Friday production. He played wonderfully and was very easy to work with! I especially appreciate his preparation and flexibility. I am looking forward to the possibility of working with him in the future.
Max played the cello (and helped find a violinist to play with him) for my wedding ceremony. He was very responsive via the GigSalad website throughout the process, and took all of my worries away regarding the ceremony music. He was very professional and warm in all of our interactions! Most importantly, the music was lovely and made our special day absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Your music set the mood for one of the most memorable
Moments I will ever experience in my life..
My Daughters Wedding..
The guest loved it..I know unfortunately we did get rained out of the garden yes a very
Stressful moment..Once you began to play it was so calming and beautiful
I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to meet you. Thank you
Response from Minstrel Max Morrison:
Thank you so much for the lovely review, Ruth. It was great meeting you too, and I am very thankful you had me play for the special day. Take care!
