Live cello performances for couples who want their day to feel intentional. 20+ years experience. Cinematic arrangements.

Why Couples Choose Me
World Class Training
I’ve trained for two decades at the highest levels - including University of Colorado Boulder, St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra, and Missouri All State Orchestra. You’re hiring virtuoso caliber talent.
More Than Just a Cello
I perform using a unique blend of high quality backing tracks, live looping, and subtle effects, all supported by professional amplification. This allows me to create a rich, layered sound far beyond what most solo instruments can offer.
Expert Facilitation
Understanding the flow of a ceremony means knowing when the music should lead, when it should gently support, and when less is more. That awareness allows the moment to unfold naturally, without distraction.
I coordinate with your planner, arrive early, dress impeccably, and handle every musical transition flawlessly. My goal is never to draw attention away from the ceremony, but to quietly elevate it.

Daniel
What draws me to weddings is the emotion of the ceremony itself. These are rare moments where music doesn’t just fill a space. It shapes how the moment is experienced.
What I love most about this work is that I'm not the star of the show. You are. The moment is. My job is to disappear into the music so completely that all you feel is the moment itself.

“Daniel, you playing the cello at our ceremony was a dream come true for us. It made our evening even more special. Letting us choose our songs and you delivering them with your wonderful talent was amazing. It will be something that will always be remembered. We are forever grateful and again, thank you for your kindness and generosity. It will never be forgotten!”
