Sharon truly was amazing in every part of preparation for the wedding, making sure we were happy with song choices and make wedding day even more beautiful. We could not have been ...
any happier working with her and her performance! Highly recommend for your next event, wedding, or even a private experience!
I'm so glad we found Sharon for our wedding – her music was a perfect soundtrack for our ceremony. She had lots of options for music and I was delighted to have a Sigur Ros song pl...
aying for my walk down the aisle! The whole process was smooth and easy, thank you Sharon!
Sharon is very kind, communicative, and talented. I would recommend her to anyone.
I cannot express how talented and professional Sharon is. We had her play our sunrise wedding at Pretty Place chapel on March 7, 2025. She was very patient with all my indecisivene...
ss with music choices and was willing to do anything and everything to work with our musical vision for the day. We felt so blessed to have such a talented and experienced cellist. She is far more than a cellist who plays weddings. She is an unbelievable musician with a passion for her work and sound. I had so many songs in my prelude to show off her talent. Her ability to layer and loop is amazing. She was willing to literally do anything we wanted, but honestly her own work is the best. We cannot express just how happy we were with Sharon, not to mention it was below freezing on the day and she played perfectly regardless! She is so sweet and kind. Thank you, Sharon, for your beautiful music on our wedding day! God Bless you! 🤍🕊
Love,
Mary Frances and Timothy Mees
Sharon played cello for our wedding ceremony, alongside a pianist we organized separately, and it was absolutely perfect! She was communicative with us, as well as working directly...
with the pianist to plan our requests - and the music was beautiful. I would highly recommend!!
Sharon provided one of the highlights of our ceremony and the time surrounding it. From the first consultation call, where she played a sample of some of our favorite songs to the ...
list of songs she sent us to the day of the wedding, she was communicative, helpful, and caring.
We loved the combination of classical music and modern songs in her repertoire and especially appreciated her willingness to adapt our processional song (the prelude to Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major) to the length of our processional. Her music set a beautiful tone, and we loved having her play during the cocktail hour as well. By far our favorite vendor of the wedding.
Sharon did a beautiful job making our daughter's wedding day extra special! She listened to our ever request and did everything possible to make it work! She felt like family from ...
our first contact. Our guests were so very complimentary. She created a beautiful atmosphere by playing her cello and brightened everyone's spirit with her smile and personality. We will look for every opportunity in the future to use her again!
Great experience throughout the whole process and definitely recommend! Large selection of songs to choose from and also able to learn any specific songs you may want and very resp...

nd her to absolutely anyone! Thank you Anya for playing such a great role in our day!!
Sharon was everything we dreamed of for our wedding. She was professional, on time, prepared, and had done exactly what my wife and I had hoped for our ceremony. Her music and rend...
ition of “Grow As We Go” captured my wife and Is story together without a hitch and it was beautifully done. We had our wedding inside, and it was very relaxing to hear her music playing before the ceremony as we all waited in the back. She did an outstanding job of allowing her music to be very present without having an overly dramatic or attention grabbing personality - the best of both worlds, in my opinion. Humility and talent at its best.
The process of booking was seemless, and she was able to be very accommodating and flexible on our day of as we had to move inside due to rain.
Her music range and ability to play songs that we requested personally gave us the perfect balance of ambiance and elegance while not losing the upbeat nature of the music that we had hoped for (I.e. coldplays “yellow”).
Would recommend to anyone looking for a Celloist for any sort of event but especially a wedding venue.
If I could give more stars I would! Really honestly best choice for our wedding, Sharon delivered everything we asked for, and more! She is very talented, professional, elegant, an...
d super nice! Our guests just loved her! Highly recommended.

Sharon was one of the highlights of my wedding day. She played during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and we had multiple guests tell us that the music was beautiful. We were able ...
to ask for a few special requests for music and when she played them they were better than I could have asked for. If you are looking for a violinist/cellist then you have to hire Sharon!
We hired Sharon to provide music for our wedding ceremony on short notice and she was a blessing to work with! Her communication was superb and her music during the ceremony (cell...
o) was beautiful added the perfect touch to our ceremony. She arrived early, set up, and started playing on que with no issues whatsoever. We received a lot of compliments on the music and absolutely loved the beautiful sound of the cello. Highly recommend!
Sharon played at our son’s wedding. Her music created the most romantic atmosphere, everyone enjoyed it! Best wedding music I’ve ever heard.
Sharon responds to communications quickly and friendly. She played wonderfully during our elopement. If you have an opportunity to book her, DO IT! She made our day so special :)
Choosing Sharon as our musician was the best decision we made for our wedding day!!! I cant even put into words how amazing she is. It was like having our own personal concert at o...
ur wedding. Not only is Sharon insanely talented, but she's also quick to respond and so fun to work with!! She totally understood the vibe we were going for and NAILED every song choice! She even made the songs better than the originals!! We had tons of guests asking us where we found such an awesome cellist. They were talking about her all night and are still asking me about her!! I’m going to be recommending her to everyone I know that is planning a wedding!!!
Where to begin? Sharon was PHENOMENAL! She played multiple pieces for my wedding, many that weren’t on her normal set list. She even played Guns n Roses “Sweet Child of Mine” for o...
ur recessional (the groom’s favorite band) and Frozen’s “Let it Go” for my flower girl. From the start, Sharon was so easy to work with. Very helpful and professional, and her music is just beautiful. Would definitely recommend!
Sharon and her daughter, Anya-Katarina, played cello and violin at my wedding ceremony. It is STUNNING. I will forever and ever remember hearing them start to play and immediately ...
getting emotional. Their sound quality is unmatched! I walked down to "Turning Page" live and it was unforgettable. There were no dry eyes in the crowd! Thank you guys for adding that extra sparkle to my special day!
Ms. Gerber was awesome and her professionalism was top notch. Her playing was some of the most musical and expressive we have ever heard. She met all of our needs and exceeded them...
. Sharon is a true, incredible talent. We arr so blessed to have been enriched by her musical offerings.
Sharon Gerber is, HANDS DOWN, the best ceremony musician you can hire. I’ve been to multiple weddings where she played at (including mine) and all of the guests rave about her non-...
stop. I’ve also been to weddings where other ceremony musicians played and I just felt like something was missing every time. With Sharon, everything comes together beautifully and and she makes an already emotional day even more emotional! She was fast with communication and went above and beyond to ensure that she made our wedding special. Any wedding that she plays at stands out. Thank you Sharon for everything you did to make our dreams come true!
Words cannot even describe the beauty of Sharon’s music and her overall presence at our ceremony. I knew from the first time I talked to her that she was who I wanted playing cell...
o at our ceremony, and there is no doubt I made the right choice. She showed up on time, set everything up, and began playing before people arrived. I’m literally getting tears in my eyes as I recall the truly moving music that filled the entire chapel while she played. Every person at the ceremony was also blown away by her music, everyone made a point to tell me so. If you are looking for a cello soloist, do not look any further. I promise you will be so happy you chose Sharon Gerber, it doesn’t get any better than her.
Sharon and her daughter Anya both played at my daughter’s wedding and it was unbelievably beautiful! I made several special requests and they were able to capture exactly what we ...
wanted with each song. Both ladies were very professional and both are next-level when it comes to talent. They can play anything!

Sharon is a top shelf musician! Look no further for your musical needs. Sharon and her sister, a violinist played for my wedding. My husband said he had never heard such beautiful ...
playing. I just smiled because I knew we couldn't have selected any better artists in the entire Southeast. From start to finish, Sharon's professionalism and artistry streamlines an entire event. There is no higher quality to be found; she is accommodating and easy to work with. Sharon will make your event look sharp!
All I can say is, WOW!! Sharon is the best of the best. I’m a musician myself, and I can tell you that she is one of the most talented cellists I’ve ever heard. I’ve listened to so...
me other musicians in the Greenville area who try to do what she does and they don’t even come anywhere near her level - she is the OG. Her years of experience with weddings shows. She was easy to communicate with, played beautiful pieces that she and I picked out, and most importantly, she made my wedding truly memorable. If you want a top-notch musician who won’t miss a beat, I highly recommend you go with Sharon! There won’t be a dry eye in sight!
Sharon was awesome! She did everything for us including picking out music! It was so nice having one less thing to worry about! I highly recommend Sharon!
Sharon played for our outdoor wedding ceremony in October. Everyone commented on how beautiful the Music was and how it really set the tone. She was easy to work with from the begi...
nning. She sent different song ideas and was willing to work with any suggestions we had as well. The day was forecasted for rain and she kept in communication with me on how to proceed. Luckily, the rain gave us a break at the time of our ceremony. I would absolutely recommend her. I only wish we had a better recording of the day so I could go back and listen again.
Sharon is phenomenal! She is very flexible, helpful, and thoughtful. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone with the same skill and passion. She took our ideas and made them come ali...
ve! Sharon Gerber is an excellent choice!
If I could rate Sharon 6 stars, I would. Her professionalism and artistry are top caliber! Sharon can adapt quickly and smoothly to whatever the moment demands - including when t...
he walking of the bridal party or ad hoc speech goes shorter or longer than technically planned.
The quality of Sharon's sound is truly awesome - a professional artist level that is rare to find outside of a Chicago or NYC.
She took personal interest in our day and we would do it all over again!
Sharon really added a very special touch to our wedding. She is so very talented. Her music was so beautiful! I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.
Where to start? We could not have selected a better musician for our wedding! We had our ceremony outside in the mountains, and I knew I wanted something more than an iPod playing....
Sharon was recommended by our venue, and once I looked her up on YouTube, I knew I wanted her to play! She is so talented and offers either just her cello or you can pair it with a violin or piano. I wanted to surprise my husband with one of his favorite songs at the end and she was so great at learning it. It was all so beautiful! She was punctual, played beautifully, and helped us with any questions along the way. She really cares about making your day special and unforgettable! Love her!
Sharon was absolutely fabulous!! The music was amazing and she was super easy to book and work with. She also made choosing music very easy which can be overwhelming. I would highl...
y recommend her!!!
Sharon Gerber Music played at my wedding ceremony, Pretty Place Chapel, and two hours at my reception, Green Valley Country Club. We selected a cello, played by Sharon, and keyboar...
d, played by her nephew (guitar for one ceremony song). They were amazing! Sharon was easy to work with scheduling wise and song choice wise and so professional day of. They were able to play all the personally selected song I requested at no extra charge e.g. Thousand Years, Perfect, Amazing Grace to name a few. The musicians came to Pretty Place, in the mountains, thru torrential rain and winds and got setup without hesitation. As soon as they started warming up, it just changed the whole atmosphere and was like heaven in the beautiful chapel/mountain setting. They played the songs at the perfect times without having been part of any rehearsal. Just awesome! They also played as the wedding party was introduced at the wedding reception, impromptu, and throughout the sit-down dinner and sat thru speeches as well. The music made for such an elegant atmosphere and many compliments were received. One of the things I was most anxious to experience from my wedding video footage was the music at the ceremony that I didn't get to fully enjoy as I was hidden away in the bridal suite. You will not regret choosing Sharon. Also, very affordable in comparison to other musicians I contacted. A++++!
Sharon was absolutely wonderful! She played her cello for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony. She was easy to contact and plan with. My parents had heard her play for s...
everal church events over the last few years and she was our first choice for our wedding music. After meeting with her she provided a list of songs that she typically plays for weddings which was very helpful, but I was not limited to that list only; she is able to play everything beautifully. I highly recommend her - she will make your wedding extremely special and unique!
Sharon was wonderful to work with. We loved her music and really enjoyed her playing at the wedding.
Sharon is incredible. She wanted to ensure that we were satisfied with the music for our wedding. However, satisfied is an understatement; we were thrilled. We contacted her three ...
weeks before our wedding when the musicians that we had booked fell through. In the three weeks prior to our event, Sharon learned songs at our request even though she was out of the state for the majority of that time. Many comments were made following our wedding about how wonderful the music was. On top of being talented and accommodating, Sharon is super nice. I would love to work with her again.
