CELLIST HIRE
The beautiful sound of the cello evokes intense romanticism, and being in the same register as the human voice, is a very popular choice of instrument for weddings and proposals. Just think of the recent royal wedding – the solo cello with orchestra made a stunning impression!
Our cellists at London Strings are some of the most experienced in London and regularly perform as soloists for both concerts and events. Usually, the cello works best with a piano accompanist, but a solo cello is definitely appropriate and recommended in many situations. It can also be a good choice for a classical wedding ceremony or romantic wedding proposal, and there are a few pieces of music that work beautifully for solo cello, including popular classical favourites like the Solo Cello Suites by Bach, The Swan by Saint-Saëns, Après un Rêve by Faurè, Salut d’Amour by Elgar, Ave Maria by Schubert, and arrangements of famous pop songs for cello like ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’, ‘A Thousand Years’ and ‘Besame Mucho’.
Our cellists are based in London but are happy to travel for your event, including internationally.
For more information about whether a solo cellist, violin & cello duo, string quartet, string trio or other ensemble is right for you, please check out our post: Which ensemble should I hire for my event?
We look forward to working with you and making your special day memorable!
ENQUIRE NOW
- Amy Drage & Ben Dages
We booked London Strings to play at our wedding and they were amazing! Throughout the whole process leading up to the day, they were really accommodating and informative. They even played a custom song for our ceremony and coordinated with our officiant to accompany him throughout, which made the ceremony all the more beautiful. Our guests also loved the addition of a string trio, saying that it added even more joy to the day! Thank you so much, Ben and Amy
- Elena Newby
London strings played for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception after. We could not recommend them more highly. They learned a piece especially for my entrance and played so beautifully. They brought a real touch of magic to the day.

First of, thank you so much Lucy and Arda for the swift response/answering all my queries since day one and down to our big day. You have been so helpful and professional. Thank you so so much for accommodating us. Also, we would like to give our thanks to your duo (violist and cellist) for playing our songs before, during and after our ceremony. It was spot on, everyone loved it and got lots of compliments. All of our guests were moved(some to tears) of course including us whilst listening to them play. It made our wedding day extra special and memorable. Your team is amazing! I wish you and your team all the best! More clients to come. Thank you so so much and we appreciate it all. -Charmie and Joseph

Lucy and Arda played at our wedding ceremony July this year. They played beautifully and made the day so magical. They are very professional and polite and are great with their communication.
