FAQ

What does your music sound like?

With her Yamaha Electric Cello and a sophisticated loop station, April artfully weaves together the many sounds of the cello to create a rich and full string sound that rivals that of a traditional string quartet – all in one neat, petite package!

Do you take requests?

If you are after your favourite song performed for that special moment, April is more than happy to accommodate! She has a wide range of popular wedding songs in her song list, and is happy to learn new songs too!

What type of music do you play?

April’s entertaining performance is full of contemporary heart-warming, swoon-inducing, and toe-tapping songs that you and your guests will know and love.

What do you require on the day?

Amplification is a must for the musical performance, so the performance space needs to be located within 20 metes of a power point. April will be equipped with all other gear to complete the set up.

Adequate shelter from rain, strong winds and intense heat must be provided for the performance, which may include providing a sheltered location or shelter if needed. Protection from the elements is critical for April's cello and equipment. Please also have a wet weather option on hand!

What part of the wedding day do you normally play for?

April mostly plays for the Wedding Ceremony (pre-ceremony music, ceremony music, and post-ceremony music) as well as afternoon entertainment while the Bridal Party are having photos taken and your guests are mingling and canapes / drink are being served. The length of time is really dependent on how quickly (or slowly) these sections of the wedding move, and she is happy to be flexible on the day to accommodate to your needs.

April was a delight to work with for our wedding at Jaspers Berry in January 2022! She has an extensive song list to choose from and was more than happy to learn an additional song at our request. Being a pianist as well, April was happy to pre-record some piano accompaniment to our selections so we would have the effect we were after. April knew the venue well so we trusted the set-up would go smoothly. April played beautifully on the day - I had more than a few guests comment on how the live cello added an extra special touch to the ceremony. Thank you, April! You made my vision come true on the day and were an absolute pleasure to work with :)

Thank you for your lovely review, Tamara! I was so excited to get out my piano skills, and so glad that the end result made your music visions come true! Thank you so much for the opportunity, and you were a pleasure to work with too :-)

April played the cello at our wedding ceremony and during the after-ceremony canapes, and she was amazing! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful her music is - she really set a beautiful scene. April was also a pleasure to deal with throughout the wedding planning process, and accommodated our every need, including learning a new song at my husband's request! We cannot recommend her highly enough!!

April was incredible at our wedding we had so many compliments from our guests. Her string music and vocals were so elegant and made our ceremony so special. It really set the tone for our beautiful day. April was also very understanding and flexible too with change of dates/covid times and we are grateful for this. An absolute delight to work with and highly recommend.

What a wonderful vibe April and Alex her violinist gave to the start of our wedding ceremony. They played so beautifully and set the tone for our ceremony and into our reception venue. April ensured we got the music of our choice and it met everything and more of what we had hoped for. Our guests loved the ambience the music created with the stunning backdrop of our ceremony at Kaluela Headland in Kiama. If you want beautiful music, great musicians that will forever remain in your memories, I highly recommend April for everything she contributed to make our day special.

November 2022

April was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. April was super engaging and energetic From the first contact we had with her to organise for her to play on our wedding day to the thank you email. We had SOOOOO many guests tell us the best part of the wedding was hearing April play and that she was able to bring so much warmth and love to the music. We wanted something different and memorable and we could not have found a perfect way to have this come true. Thank you April for making our special day even more special, we would recommend you a hundred times over

What are your favourite songs to play at a wedding?

We're starting to think about song choices for our wedding. I'm curious about what songs musicians love to play at weddings (vs the cliched ones they get asked about!). Would love to hear your personal favourites?

April Cello

My list of favourites tends to change every season and is usually made up of requested songs from my brides and grooms.
If I had to choose my top 5 requested songs from the last season that I have absolutely enjoyed learning and performing, they would be:

Better together - Us the duo

Bloom - The Paper Kites

Love me like you do - Ellie Goulding

The Luckiest - Ben Folds

Yellow - U2

And if I had to pick my top 5 of regular favourites that are always asked for and I never grow tired of playing, they would be:

Pacelbel's Canon

Can't help falling in love with you - Elvia Presley

Sky full of stars - Coldplay

Love story - Taylor Swift

How long will I love you - Ellie Goulding
