We hired Hitoshi for our wedding ceremony, and we couldn't be happier! He was incredibly nice, professional, and went above and beyond by learning a few special songs just for us. His beautiful playing added such a wonderful atmosphere to our day. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and accommodating musician!
I was so impressed with Hitoshi at Romantic Cello. I hired him for my wedding ceremony without meeting him and honestly he just gave me a lot of trust and peace of mind that he is a virtuoso in his craft. I was right! He is INCREDIBLE. Perfect, even!
So many people raved about how amazing the cellist was in my ceremony.
I had Hitoshi on cello and also a pianist and Organist at my ceremony as well and they coordinated on their own the musical program. I was able to watch it back and it was world class.
I was also extra impressed that Hitoshi learned a new song for my ceremony. One that wasn’t previously in his repertoire. He had a great attitude and didn’t make a fuss or charge extra to learn the song.
I will be hiring him again for any event I can come up with. 🎻
We had Hitoshi as a solo musician and he was wonderful, very kind and professional. Having a cellist felt so special to us, and Hitoshi was flexible and genuine, which is especially accommodating when you're planning a million tiny details. We would highly recommend him to anyone!
Hitoshi is a world class cellist! We found him on gigmasters and are so happy that we did! He was flexible to work with and even learned new music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We received numerous complements about his work. Yumi joined him on the piano for our cocktail hour duet and the sound was lovely.
The quantity we received for the price we paid was superb. We would recommend Hitoshi to everyone.
We are so so thrilled that Hitoshi and his flute accompaniment performed for our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception on 11.16.13 at Rancho La Quinta Country Club. He came highly recommended, and I am so thankful that Hitoshi was able to make our music vision for our wedding day come to life.
He was extremely responsive throughout the planning process. I will forever appreciate his constant efforts over the course of the months we worked with him. From sending us a CD to listen to his music, to his promptness and willingness to work with my constant changes, he was wonderful!
Hitoshi arrived early on the afternoon of the wedding. He was a true professional from his music, to his set up, and his attire. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. I was able to select specific music for the ceremony and the cocktail reception. We received so many compliments and feel so lucky to have had him with us on our wedding.
I couldn’t have asked for more with Hitoshi, his music, and the quality of service he provides. I will be happy to talk with anyone interested in using him for any event. I highly recommend hiring him!! You will be thrilled!!
Hitoshi was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. He often responded to my emails even late at night, which was greatly appreciated. He and the flautist were able to accommodate my request to play an original composition a friend had composed for my wedding. With minimal direction from me, they ended the composition at the right time and point of our ceremony. I guess that's what professionals do. Without a doubt, he is someone I'd work with again in the future.
Hitoshi is a world class cellist and pianist. I found him on gigmasters and I am so happy I did! Hitoshi put in a bid at well below what others were charging for a cellist and he sounded amazing. I even had money left over to hire another musician - a flutist, Ali Park - a friend of Hitoshi's. The duet made my ceremony absolutely perfect. They played exceptionally and even stayed overtime. I am so happy they were available!
