Kristina W.Sep 2026

Chloé performed at our wedding at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden, and we couldn't have asked for a better cellist. She was easy to work with, answered all of our questions, and had a great selection of music to choose from. We received so many compliments from our guests about her beautiful playing. I especially appreciated that she continued to play while we took photos after the ceremony. She added such a special touch to our wedding, and I highly recommend her!

We were so pleased with Chloe at our corporate dinner party. She was not only a talented and dynamic musician but she also handled the pre-party hustle and bustle with a smile

Great Musician!

We reached out to Chloe to play cello at our wedding ceremony. She was responsive and professional in all our communications. She guided us by providing a list of common wedding songs she plays, links to examples, and options about how it could sound (acoustic, multiple backing tracks, etc.). She was on time and did a great job! I didn’t worry about a thing! Everyone at our wedding complimented her music and how it created an elevated, romantic ambiance. 10/10 would recommend.

We absolutely love Chloe’s style. My 7 year old daughter has really thrived as a cello student under Chloe’s guidance. Chloe is warm, thoughtful and inspiring. She always makes my daughter comfortable and eager to learn. We couldn’t be happier and are looking forward to many years of learning to play cello with Chloe!
