We worked with Jennifer for our June 2012 wedding and she was unbelievable. As we definitely wanted a solo cello for the big day, she was one of the first vendors we contacted. We found her to be extremely easy to work with, communicative, and a talented musician. She has a large repertoire of music and assisted us in selecting pieces for before, during and after the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and was ready to perform on time. She helped set a beautiful scene for our garden wedding and we loved listening to her play. My only regret is not getting to listen to her more!

Jennifer did a great job with the ceremony - the music sounded great and she was professional and courteous throughout all the planning. Although we did not meet her until the wedding day, she met all expectations and provided a great backdrop to our ceremony.

I asked Jennifer to pay some Bach cello suites at our ceremony, which was in a big church. We collaborated re: the actual suites she would play, but I left it up to her to figure out what she would play when. And it was perfect and seamless. I would recommend her highly!

Jennifer is fantastic! She recently played at my wedding in Central Park and it could not have been any better. I had a surprise singer show up at the ceremony to sing a song we love and I asked Jennifer to work with him and accompany the song with her cello. It was by far my favorite part of the ceremony. She coordinated everything with the singer and made it seem effortless. Her communication was great. I highly recommend her!

Jennifer was a great addition to our ceremony. As a musician myself, I appreciated the excellent advice she provided and her willingness to work with a friend of mine who sang during the ceremony. She was very professional throughout. I also appreciated her flexibility as our ceremony venue changed at the last minute due to rain. I would highly recommend her.

Jennifer was excellent to work with. she was so responsive and provided me with so much information and guidance as I was planning my ceremony. I chose her as a solo celloist. She played beautifully fluidly with passion. My guests loved that she played through the coctail hour. She gave us a song list of 150 songs to choose from so it was easy to give her our play and do not play list from it. She was punctual and a pleasure to work with. I would use her again for an event. Beautiful music.

I can't say enough about Jennifer Girone. We chose Jennifer to play at our outdoor wedding at the New York Botanical Garden-Bronx, NY. She truly set the tone for the ceremony. Everything was timed perfectly. She did an amazing job! Thank you Jennifer!

Everything was perfect. Everyone commented on how lovely the trio was. The music was beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more and it looked so classy at the wedding. I have great pics of them in the background. Jenn was also very helpful in pointing me in the right direction for the music selection. She also handled everything very professionally. I would definitely recommend!

Jennifer did a wonderful job playing cello at our wedding ceremony. She was also very helpful with preparation prior to the wedding day. We worked with a number of vendors but Jennifer ranks high among them. The planning process became quite stressful sometimes but she made it easier for us by being someone extremely helpful and reliable. She was very nice and thoughtful, and always responded promptly when we asked her questions. We highly recommend her!

We often watch our wedding video just to listen to the music - we absolutely loved it! Ms. Girone was easy to contact and flexible with scheduling. We didn't want standard wedding music, and Ms. Girone helped us to branch out and find exactly what we were looking for. We could not have asked for more.

Jennifer was very pleasant to work with. She was very accommodating when I requested her to send me samples of her work. Although I did not get to interact with her nor got to meet her in person (which was unfortunate), she played beautifully during the ceremony. I am the bride and was constantly being pulled away by family, guests and the photographers. Jennifer and I worked on my wedding music and did the contracts all by email, which made everything convenient and simple. She is very professional and punctual, a big plus on my book!

Thanks so much Jennifer for helping make my day even more special for me.

I cannot say enough about Jennifer and her service. She was so helpful right from the beginning. She gave me song options and her professional advice when trying to select music for our ceremony. The day of our wedding was the day of the NYC Marathon and she reassured me that it would not delay her getting to the church & she was right. The music she provided was amazing. Walking down the aisle to her music was perfect & just how I imagined. I received so many compliments on the ceremony music and was so glad I found her to play. The best part was when we had a song played in the middle of our ceremony and was able to just take it all in. I had goosebumps the whole time. Thank you again Jennifer for everything! You made sure my ceremony music was the one thing I did not have to worry about that day.

Jenna is a very spirited and passionate cellist; her playing is beautiful to say the least. When she plays, it is quite clear that the cello is an extension of her, with musicianship and great technique never taking a back seat. Her professionalism is another strong-point along with flexibilty and eagerness to help create your ideal wedding repertoire.

Jennifer was very sweet and professional every time we spoke prior to my wedding day. She was there and ready when she needed to be. I wished I had been able to enjoy more of her music, I was really looking forward to it but instead I was hidden away in my bridal suite prior to the ceremony while I had her play for my guests pre-ceremony. I didn't get to hear the songs I had her play for them, but heard some of the actual ceremony music once it started, and I know my guests enjoyed it. I was glad I hired her as a duet with an additional person playing violin and enjoyed what I did get to hear in the whirlwind of my wedding ceremony.

Jennifer Girone is an incredible artist. Her exceptional performance during my wedding ceremony had all of my family and friends completely entertained. They are still talking about our ceremony and it was almost a year ago. She is very attentive and extremely professional. My husband I have recommended her to our family and friends. Our ceremony was romantic, engaging, traditional with a modern twist and I can honestly say that having Ms. Girone perform was one of the best choices my husband and I made throughout our wedding process.

Jennifer was a pleasure to deal with in every way. She gave us lots of suggestions for classical pieces to be played before and during the ceremony and sent audio links so we could hear a sample of each one. I recommend Jennifer without any hesitation. You will be very, very happy that you hired her for your ceremony!

- I just wish this part of the day could have lasted longer. I hired Jennifer, who is a cellist, for a trio and she and her fellow musicians were just great. We mixed classical, popular/modern, and Jewish pieces and it was wonderful; every piece sounded perfect and exactly as I had hoped/desired. I hope to be able to need music again in the future - I'd contract for the services again in a heartbeat.

Jennifer Girone played such an integral part of my ceremony turning out just as pictured. Her professionalism and willingness to get everything "just right" is something you rarely see anymore. I chose multiple songs for each part of my ceremony, each different and played at specific parts-Jennifer worked tirelessly answering all my questions for weeks beforehand, making suggestions and before I knew it, we had the perfect ceremony music. Dispell any doubts you may have and choose Jennifer to make your ceremony unique and beautiful. Thank you Jennifer for making mine soo amazing and unforgettable!!

Jennifer provided us with amazing solo cello music for our cocktail hour. Everyone thought it was so classy. Jennifer was very easy to communicate with as far as arranging what we wanted, she provided music selections for us to pick from,samples to hear, and provided what we wanted as additional requests. She arrived on time, looked beautiful, and was very warm and amiable. Her playing was exquisite, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who enjoys something unique for their special affair. Jennifer played all my favorite pieces with skill and passion. Some pieces were soulful and moody, some were lively, it was all great!! Everything I wanted. Everyone loved it. If I ever have the occasion to hire a cellist again, it would always be Jennifer Girone. I wish her success.

She set the perfect tone for our ceremony & also provided music for our cocktail hour. Her price was VERY fair. She was very helpful with our music selections & we were able to meet with her before hand and hear her play which I thought was great. We left the cocktail hour music up to her & she made some really great choices. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Jennifer Girone and the rest of the quartet were amazing. They were incredibly accomodating and flexible. I requested nontraditional music to be played and they transposed arrangements that weren't commercially available and did an amazing job. Everyone complemented our music selection and how great the quartet performed. They made our wedding truly unique and about us. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

The music that Jennifer provided for our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Not only did her music enhance the ambiance at our ceremony, Jennifer helped me prior to the event by assisting me in choosing selections that were not only beautiful but uniquely suited to fit my husband and my dreams for our wedding ceremony. Following the ceremony many of my guests asked where we found Jennifer and commented on how her music added a special element to the day’s events. I can’t speak highly enough about her professionalism and talent. If you’re looking to add elegance, class, and beauty to your wedding or any special event I would recommend booking Jennifer.

Jennifer Girone was a pleasure to work with, her music was beautiful, and I would recommend her services to anyone I know! The music was beautiful and I received many compliments from the guests. My wedding was outdoors near the water with a nice breeze and the music was heard beautifully despite the natural elements. It's very great.
