My wife and I were lucky enough to have Beats & Cello perform at our wedding in Bolsena, Italy. We could not have asked for a better band - I think every single one of our guests commented on how amazing they were! The DJ Cello show they perform is really unique and made our day all the more special. And not only are they amazing musicians, they are a joy to work with too: organised, efficient, and very open to the ideas we had for our ceremony. I cannot recommend them highly enough! You have fans for life in London!

Thank you!
We are so incredibly grateful to you for the wonderful musical accompaniment to our ceremony and aperitif. It was an absolute dream - we can recommend you 1000 percent and have received so much positive feedback. Your package is rounded off by your funny, kind and professional characters. We are really more than happy to have found you and are so grateful. We will always count our wedding as one of our fondest memories, not least because of you!

We were lucky enough to have them at our wedding and we were very satisfied! Wonderful live music, really kind people, plus we had a lot of fun during the DJ set! Super recommended.
November 2025
Beats & Cello were absolutely perfect and delivered fantastic performances throughout our wedding day. It was very seamless and professional, from the time they arrived to the late night finish. The live music for the ceremony was very romantic, their live set for the aperitif gorgeous, we even had comments from our guests on how good their dinner playlist was! The DJ set was great and accounted for specific songs that we wanted. We felt extremely lucky to have them as our musicians on our wedding day and wouldn’t change a thing.

Thank you very much Taya!
Federico and his team are absolutely phenomenal, offering outstanding service at reasonable prices. We hired him for our wedding in Italy and couldn't be happier. If you don't speak Italian, don't worry. His English is excellent. He handled all our pre-wedding inquiries professionally and promptly.

We and our guests had the pleasure to see (and hear, of course) Beats & Cello at our wedding party. We had two sets, and they were totally different in mood — and perfectly matched to each moment! Before the ceremony, we had warm, sentimental, and unbelievably beautiful music. After dinner, we had a set full of energy — wild, joyful, and full of life! You were part of our very special day and will forever stay in our memories! It was a true pleasure. You showed our guests that we like: gentle music on one side, and wild dancing on the other! Minna, your voice awakened so many emotions in all of us. I’ve told you already, and I’d love to repeat it: we all fell in love! Federico, you’re our hero! Of course, because of your guitar — but also for how cleverly you mixed English, Italian, and Slavic dance music! Thank you, friends — it was legendary!!
June 2025
Two top-level musicians (Beats & Cello) there was immediately a great understanding. They are serious and qualified professionals, but also willing to indulge the wishes and whims of us spouses! A very happy choice that my husband and I highly recommend!
April 2025
We were very happy with hiring Beats & Cello for our wedding. They played beautifully, both at the church and at our wedding reception, and were very friendly, positive and reliable. We also liked their professional attitude, and we were particularly impressed with their interpretation of a traditional Norwegian song! We warmly recommend these talented and warm musicians, that we now consider our new friends!
March 2025
They are fantastic, they played both at the church and for the aperitif. As for the disco, they were super fun and super lively. I recommend their service from the beginning to the end of the wedding!
February 2025
Absolutely perfect. Beats & Cello learned and performed a Chris Stapleton song for the ceremony and then seamlessly transitioned to entertain guests during the reception with their guitar and cello pairing. After the first dance there was a perfect transition into a 2.5 hour dance party that never stopped. The energy stayed high and the dance floor was full. The easiest part was they needed little direction and over delivered.
