  Top Notch Professional

  Kristen is a true professional. When I had a cellist back out of my wedding due to illness from their COVID-19 vaccine, Kristen jumped in last minute and did a great job.
  
  For the record, I am a booking agent and professional musician myself. I run a company that books live entertainment in 40 states, and coordinate thousands of events per year. I also have multiple degrees in music myself.
  
  Thus, I know quality. Kristen's musicianship is QUALITY. Definitely hire her if you're in need of music for your special event. I will certainly be calling her for more of my events in the Tampa region.

  Amazing Cellist

  Kristen was perfect for our wedding and was beyond accommodating in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Would recommend to everyone looking for a cellist.

  The Absolute Best

  Kristen is a close personal friend, and happened to be in my wedding party, but this is review has no need for bias. I would imagine most brides like to pick every single detail of their day, but I’m more the “I don’t care, make it a party type of girl.” I have seen Kristen in concert, listened to her practice at home, and been in awe of her skill ever since I have known her so I had no qualms about saying “the music is up to you!” She contacted my ceremony venue several times to make sure all sound elements were up to par and picked the perfect pieces to make my ceremony non conventional, beautiful, and memorable. She played “A Thousand Years” and “Perfect” and organized the rest of the music during the ceremony. She even carefully handled a tense situation where my mother in law did not like the version of “The Lord’s Prayer” the chapel had on file. The whole time Kristen exuded grace and professionalism, not just because we are friends, but because she is amazingly talented at what she does.

  Kristen was the perfect choice for our Tampa wedding!

  Kristen was an absolutely amazing choice for us! She met all of our requests and even performed our ceremony with an additional cellist, Mikael, instead of her usual violin duo accompaniment. The both of them performed our song requests beautifully and our guests raved about them all night! They played songs such as “can you feel the love tonight”, “viva la vida”, “ave Maria”, and “cant help falling in love with you” for our ceremony and “sweet child of mine”, “secrets”, and more before the ceremony! Kristen even emailed us songs to practice with at our rehearsal and was super responsive to emails. We highly recommend her and Mikael for any event!

  If there was a higher rating, we'd be giving it to Kristen! She was wonderful and contributed so much to the beauty of our daughter's wedding. It was a joy to hear her play and the compliments continue to be heard from our guests about the music at the ceremony. Highly recommended for any event that needs her touch of class! Thank you, Kristen!

  Kristen and her partner were amazing. They provided our ceremony music and it was absolutely beautiful. We sent her a list of probably 10 songs and they were played perfectly. We also had a Catholic mass, which can be confusing to know when to play music, but they did so perfectly. It's a classy, wonderful touch to have the live cellist and violin and we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much for making our day so special!

  Kristen is wonderful. The music was beautiful. I got so many compliments, and I didn't have to worry about anything.

  Kristen was a complete pleasure to work with throughout my wedding planning process. She was quick to respond to all of my emails and always provided suggestions and help whenever I needed her advice. Kristen even offered me additional services such as have a violin accompaniment for my wedding ceremony and she took care of arranging all of those details without me having to do any extra work. I never had a chance to actually meet her in person due to the craziness of our wedding day schedule but when I was walking down the aisle and heard the beautiful music I knew that I could not have made a better choice. My guests had nothing but the highest compliments for the music that was played and overall I could not be happier with my choice. Kristen is a true professional and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to add an extremely special touch to their wedding ceremony or reception!

  Kristen did an amazing job at our wedding! Although I never saw her at the wedding because I was too busy getting dressed, she made sure to let me know where she was set up and that she was there on time. I couldn't have asked for anything better on such a hectic day! I didn't have to worry one bit!!! She incredibly professional. She was patient and worked with us on picking songs that we really liked and which fit our ceremony. She even met me weeks before the wedding to talk about song selection. She is really easy to work with and does a fantastic job! Her music was a beautiful addition to our outdoor evening ceremony. I would recommend her to everyone!!!
