Cello Vida did a beautiful job at our wedding! They were very professional and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend.
Love everything Cello Vida provided for our big day! Very professional and communicative! Fast and easy responses! They played beautifully I highly recommend!
Cello vida was excellent. Communication before the event was not great as I emailed and called many times before I received responses. Also, an amplifier is not part of the package...
, it’s extra. And we didn’t order it. So, as a bride I walked down the aisle without being able to hear the music until I was at the front near them. It would have been nice if the amp was offered since it was an outdoor venue.
Cello Vida is phenomenal. They are both just so kind, knowledgeable and caring when it comes to the importance of your music selection for your big day! Speaking and virtually plan...
ning with Christina made our wedding plans so much easier and she was patient every step of the way. I had envisioned everyone not only celebrating us but enjoying the moment and listening to this wonderful duo throughout the first 3 hours of the event would bring some sense of joy, relaxation and sing out loud fun! Music for us means the world.. we love latin, rock and all genres that involve a good dance and sing along!
They accomplished all of our requests!
We highly recommend them for the full 3 hour session on your big day! They don’t skip beat I promise you and your guests will love it!!!
Cello Vida made our love story magical and our big day even better!
Thank you both for working with us! We are beyond grateful.

ssional and made everything so simple and easy! We requested a song to be performed for the ceremony and they went above and beyond to learn it for us!! Highly recommend Cello Vida
My daughter and her husband-to-be wanted something timeless and classy to be played during their wedding ceremony and Cello Vida delivered. They have an extraordinary playlist but ...
are also open to suggestions. The musicians were professional; they arrived and set up on time and most importantly, they are extremely talented.
Christina was so great to work with from the start! They play with so much SOUL and that was so important to me for my wedding. The music selection was great, they had so many mode...
rn songs to choose from. Although I didn’t get to enjoy the cocktail hour music, my guests loved it. I would definitely recommend them for future couples.
Cello Vida is the gold standard for professionalism and great string music! Christina was so easy to work with; from her responsiveness, to compiling song choices for our ceremony,...
to accepting our specific song requests with zero hassle. They were even able to work with a last minute pianist addition with ease, which I know is no easy task! The wedding was absolutely perfect and all the music sounded beautiful! I would recommend them to a friend in a heartbeat.
We booked the Cello and Violin duet for an outside venue and it was an amazing addition to make our ceremony perfect. Everything sounded awesome!
We had the violin/cello duet play for our ceremony and it was beautiful. Cristina is professional, quick to respond, and a great musician. Great price for a great service. Thank yo...
u again!
We hired a cello/violin duo for our wedding ceremony. The music they played was absolutely beautiful as it echoed through our venue. It was an absolute dream come true and I could ...
have not been anymore impressed with how well prepared and on time Cello Vida was. The exceeded our expectations of how our ceremony would go and if I need another duo I wouldn't go to anyone else. Thank you Cello Vida for the open communication and your beautiful performance.
I booked Cello Vida for my wedding ceremony in July. The ceremony was small, so I booked only one cellist. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with them. The music was beautiful ...
and the musician was very professional. I would recommend them to all my friends and family.
I contracted Cello Vida to play at my wedding ceremony (pre-ceremony/actual ceremony), and they were absolutely wonderful.
Not only did Christina arrange a piece specifically fo...
r me (from a song that meant a lot to me and my husband), but she was also kind and easy to work with. Our wedding was postponed due to hurricane Harvey, and Christina was so understanding and accommodating – she was immediately willing to push the date to make the process less stressful for us. Christina and Ryan played beautifully and definitely made me cry as I walked down the aisle, listening to their performance.
Christina responds to texts, emails, and calls same-day. She composed the piece I requested in less than 48 hours, free of charge. She's also extremely professional and (obviously) talented. I have nothing but praise for Cello Vida and wholeheartedly recommend them for any event, especially wedding ceremonies.
