About this vendor

MANAGER
Drew Wiegman is Chicago's premier wedding cellist — a self-taught, improvisational musician who plays entirely by ear, delivering a warm, cinematic, and deeply personal musical experience for your wedding day.
With a repertoire of over 1,000 songs spanning classical favorites, movie soundtracks, pop, rock, and original compositions, Drew tailors every performance to fit the moment. Whether you're walking down the aisle to a timeless classic, filling cocktail hour with elegant background music, or surprising your guests with a modern hit they didn't expect to hear on a cello, Drew makes it happen — seamlessly and beautifully.
What sets Drew apart is his ability to create the rich, layered sound of a full ensemble as a solo performer. He performs with professionally produced backing tracks, providing a complete, self-contained professional sound setup. Couples consistently say they didn't need a string quartet — Drew delivers the full experience at a fraction of the cost. The only thing he needs from your venue is access to a standard power outlet.
Drew is available for the ceremony, cocktail hour, rehearsal dinner, or any combination — and he travels nationwide. Based in the Chicago area, he has performed at weddings across the country and is equally at home at intimate garden ceremonies and grand ballroom receptions.
Beyond his wedding work, Drew has built a national audience with over 840,000 TikTok followers, 3 million+ Spotify streams, and 2 million+ YouTube views. He has been featured in Chronicle Illinois, the Daily Herald, Lake County Journal, and CBS Chicago, and recognized multiple times as a "Best Bet" for live entertainment. He headlined the James Lumber Center (with over 500 attendees) and has performed for thousands at festivals across the Midwest.
Drew and team responds to every inquiry quickly, coordinates all logistics in advance, and arrives ready to make your day perfect. As Drew says: "No matter who you are, I have a song for you." Ready to make your wedding day unforgettable? Reach out to check availability.
