There are a lot of cellists in Los Angeles who performed well but if you’re really looking for the best cello player in Los Angeles for your wedding, just visit our website, the OMG. You can choose from our best cellists to perform for your wedding and make your special day an amazing one. You are guaranteed that you will be given a live musician which would make your wedding extra special because most of our musicians hold a masters degree in music performance and you can assure that you and your guests will get excellent music with a reliable and quality service.
It depends upon your choice and preference but having a Los Angeles cellist is definitely something that could bring an additional magical luxury to your incredible day. The cello is brilliantly versatile, from rich bass notes to a lush singing upper voice, and you’ll hear all of this when our musician performs for you. In addition, the cello is the instrument closest to the human voice and we’d like to help you share your songs and incorporate those little things into your special day.
Definitely! Our musicians are versatile enough that they can include a range of different music genres you might like, including pop songs, some rock classics and much more. There are almost no limits to the magic we want to make happen. We would also love it if you will inform us ahead of time if you want to include a range of other music genres for your wedding songs.
Yes, of course! We’d be more than happy to arrange a piece of your favorite music for your wedding. You can send for us to transcribe it or if you have sheet music, we can rewrite it directly for cello. It will be our pleasure to arrange an opportunity for you to hear your pieces before the big day.
