    Perfect Addition To Artsy, Bohemian Style, Beach Wedding

    Joshua was so easy to work with and eased the typical stressors associated with planning an out-of-state wedding in an unknown area. He honestly felt like part of our family! His beautiful cello solos were perfect for the unique aura of our daughter's intimate Atalaya Castle wedding in Murrells Inlet, SC. Tysm, Joshua!

    Joshua was fantastic and very professional!

    Joshua provided the perfect background music for our professional event. He knew the right kind of music to play to create the perfect ambiance. He was prompt, professional and needed little guidance while we were taking care of other things before the reception began. I would recommend him!

    Awesome arrangements!

    My husband found Joshua on Gigmasters, and it was meant to be. We met with him before the wedding and he was very patient with us as we figured out the song choices for the wedding. He spent time playing a wide variety of songs for us, and he didn't hesitate when we asked for a special arrangement of one of our favorite songs. When he sent the demo over a few weeks before the wedding, it was a real dream come true! We are so happy that he was a part of our day and we highly recommend working with him!

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Ellen! I really loved playing at the church and getting to know you and Mike. Best of luck!

    Fabulous experience!

    Joshua was prompt in communication, reasonably priced, and had musical suggestions that helped us greatly on our wedding day. Classical or pop type of options and the flexibility to even offer up a Rush tune for me and GOT theme! My wife wanted a cellist for the ceremony and we are very pleased that we were able to get Joshua for our special day, and you will be too. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful Ceremony Music!

    Joshua (cello) and his colleague (violin) were the PERFECT additional to our ceremony! It made our day extra special. Joshua is very talented and super responsive to requests. I would highly recommend him.

    Great music to add that something special to your wedding!

    Joshua was very quick to respond to emails, easy to work with, and on time! He was the perfect "extra" we needed to make our wedding more intimate and special. I searched around and got quotes from several other professionals in the area, Joshua was by far the most reasonable, but also the best fit for our day! I'm so glad we found him!

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you, Claire! I am happy to have been a budget-friendly professional for your beautiful ceremony. Best of luck!

    Beach Wedding

    After having to postpone the wedding due to the hurricane, it was refreshing to work with someone that was so accommodating and easy going! Joshua and his colleague made our big day extra special and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the music was! A huge thank you to Joshua! We highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to make their special moment extra special!

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you, Camille! I think the weather was much better on us and the guests, so it was a good call to reschedule. It was a beautiful day!

    Perfect for our intimate ceremony

    I cannot recommend Joshua enough! I specially asked him for a slightly obscure song, that held an extremely special place in my heart for my dad and I. He spent time formatting the song to his cello. Thank you!

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Katherine! I am glad I was able to arrange that for you and your dad; it was the least I could do. Best of luck!

    Wonderful!

    Joshua was a fantastic addition to our intimate wedding. We were unable to have amplified music at our venue, so I started researching live musicians to play before and during the ceremony and Joshua had great reviews as well as a reasonable rate. He was prompt, professional, and played beautifully! You will not regret hiring him.

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you, Kelly! It was great to play outdoors when it wasn't hot, and the intimate setting was a treat. Congratulations!

    Perfect for ceremony and cocktail hour

    Very professional! Ceremony and cocktail hour were in separate rooms on separate floors so I worried about the hassle of moving quickly between events but it was flawless! I didn’t know many of the classical songs so I asked josh to pick the selections for me and it was great! Thanks you!

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Marissa! I am used to carrying all my equipment so it wasn't a problem. Happy to be a part of your special day!

    Josh was exceedingly professional - he was super responsive, made things incredibly easy by having plenty of song ideas, and quickly set up a contract and made payment via paypal very simple. I didn't have an event coordinator and so ended up dealing with a plethora of details in the moments leading up to the ceremony (including changing ceremony location due to rain) but it was clear that Josh had done this so many times that he needed minimal direction. He and the violinist (which he recommended!) pulled off a phenomenal performance. I highly recommend him!

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you, Jessica! Your guests did not seem to mind the rain, and you did a great job without a coordinator. Congratulations!

    Joshua was wonderful! We're so glad we went with him. The process was very easy and he was very accommodating, even halfway through when I decided we needed to add a violinist and change the music from traditional to contemporary. He was able to find someone quickly. On the day of, they showed up promptly, set up, and left without much direction needed. The music was beautiful and made the ceremony so memorable. We are so glad we went with him and highly recommend his services!

    Joshua was absolutely wonderful. We had a few songs in mind but otherwise left the playlist up to him. Many of our guests commented on how great his addition was to the ceremony. He was very prompt with returning messages and was really easy to work with. We both highly recommend Joshua for your big day.

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you, Brandon! It was a real treat to play at your venue, and your guests were very interactive which is rare but welcomed. Best of luck!

    I highly recommend Joshua Colbert. He is professional and very easy to work with. His music during the processional and recessional of ceremony was exactly what we wanted - it really helped to create a classy and elegant atmosphere.

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you, Eunice. It was a very lovely and elegant affair and I am honored to have been a part of it. Being indoors with a happy cello was an added bonus. Best of luck!

    What happens when you have two ridiculous people getting married? You have to put high expectations on your vendors, especially the musicians. When I first contacted Joshua I told him "yes classical music would be fine." Within a week or so we had changed our mind and I was trying to figure out how Rush and Miley Cyrus Party in the USA would sound on Cello. Turns out- not too bad! He was willing to work with us and learn songs he will probably never need again to make our day truly personalized. I have no doubt there isn't a song he can't make sound amazing.

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thanks so much, Danielle! I enjoyed learning new songs for you and am sure to use them again. The acoustics were great and it was a good day to play. Congratulations and best of luck!

    I am so happy we found Joshua Colbert to play as the solo cellist at my daughter's wedding at the Torpedo Factory in Ols Town, Alexandria, VA. He was quick to respond, had many helpful suggestions for our music choices, and was just a kind, patient and thoughtful person to work with. On the wedding day, he arrived early and played so beautifully. The music put it all together and made for a memorable and elegant wedding ceremony. I highly recommend Joshua Colbert's music services.

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you so much, Dana! It was a welcome reprieve to play indoors at an acoustically vibrant and unique building. Your daughter was stunning and the whole ceremony was well done. Congrats to your family!

    Joshua was absolutely spectacular. My wife and I wanted live musicians to play during our outdoor wedding ceremony, but we weren't sure who to select given the myriad of wedding musicians in the area. We are so happy that we selected Joshua to play at our wedding. We booked him along with a violinist, and both of them performed beautifully! Their skillful performance of Pachelbell's Canon in D brought tears to my eyes as I saw my bride for the first time as she walked up the aisle.

    He was also so helpful along the way with selecting music for the day. He gave us recommendations, and we couldn't be happier with what he gave us. He was very patient as we took our time to select our musical pieces. His response time was also superb. He would always respond to our emails within a day. The ceremony music was the least stressful part of all of the wedding planning because of the great work that Joshua did! We highly recommend him!

    Joshua D. Colbert's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Matt! Your venue has become one of my favorites, the setting was beautiful, and the weather held out. Congratulations and best of luck.
