Alexandra NYC Cellist and Strings

Because of the extremely positive reviews, we booked Alexandra’s Ensemble (cello and two violins) for our wedding.

Before the event Alexandra worked with us to discuss the flow of events and selection of music – various classical choices and contemporary pieces.

We were very pleased with the four hours that the Ensemble played. It felt as if we had our own private concert. The music was enjoyed by all and at the end, all in attendance gave a long and appreciative round of applause.

Finally, because of covid concerns, we asked and received negative covid tests from the Ensemble, and they wore masks during the event. If concerned about covid vaccination status, be sure to inquire before contracting anyone.

My husband and I are thrilled we had Alexandra NYC Cellist and Strings at our wedding. We chose the violinist and guitar duo and the music was stunning for our small, intimate wedding ceremony and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music during dinner. The extra special moment was the duo unexpectedly playing Stand by Me when we entered for dinner-perfect!

they did an awesome job i received so many compliments. Would highly recommend! i

I couldn’t ask for anything more is a solo cellist. All requested songs were played perfectly and the little extra songs for guest arrivals were really nice too.

Really was a special night, they made Christmas 🎄. Everything exceeded my expectations, was happy to have Alexandra and Boris in my family’s home will definitely be inviting them to return.

It is hard to describe in words how beautiful Alexandra and her violinist's music is - they played at our 'micro-wedding' and every single person commented on how wonderful they were! They are both extremely talented! It was a pleasure to work with Alexandra during the planning phases and I will hire her in a heartbeat for any other event I host! I highly recommend them!!

Very professional. Loved the songs. Thank you for making this proposal moment unforgettable for us.

Thank you thank you! Alexandra was amazing! Perfect addition to our wedding. So sweet and so talented. Would book again and again and again for any event!

Alexandra and Dmitry mus be the most amazing musicians I have ever met. Every time I work with Alex and Dmitry I believe it can't get any better than this and yet they surprise me every time - I am so blessed to have musicians like this available to me - not only are they fantastic musicians but super amazing to work with - can't say enough good about both of them.

Alex and her husband Dmitry were simply super professional and having played with many pros - these 2 stand out from the crowd. super professional on time and always prepared. for a worship leader or any music leader for that matter, working with Alex and Dmitry was a breeze.

Alex was able to adapt to any music we threw at her and her skill set is just incredible - she is versatile and applies herself completely to the task - I would always have Alex as my first choice when working with a Cello Player - She is totally Impressive.

Alex Was simply amazing - bringing a level of professionalism to our worship that added so much to enhance our music experience on Saturday night. I can not say enough good things about her creativity, Person and team spirit.

Super nice, professional and on time

We had Alexandra along with guitar and they played wonderfully. Able to adapt to the environment and have a large repertoire. Would certainly book them again!

Alex is simply amazing - her skill set and feel for the instrument is captivating - When I look at Alexandra, I see music, when I speak to her I hear Music, and when I give her a hug I feel music. she is one of the most incredible musicians I have ever played with in my life on top of that she is humble and her team spirit is unmatched. Impressive is what I say.

Alex was simply fantastic well prepared and no matter what I threw at her, she managed every part no matter how complex with ease, creativity and speed - I could not have been happier with her professionalism, team spirit and capabilities.

Alex blew us away this week - she is an incredible talent and an accomplished classical musician who has no problems fitting into a rock band. She was well prepared - needed no instructions and her performance was out of this world. It appears she has many more talents on other instruments. Love, love, love working with Alex.

Alexandra did a phenomenal job. She is a true professional.

Alexandra was awesome! She can play anything from modern to classical. Every person we have talked to went out of their way to say how amazing the string trio we had at our cocktail hour was. She was quick to respond and easy to work with. If you're reading this, stop what you are doing and book her! You will not be disappointed.

Thanks for being flexible and playing for us

Alexandra and her string quartet gave such a beautiful performance at our wedding yesterday. Everyone in their quartet is extremely talented and they made our day so special.

Alexandra and her ensemble were amazing. Our guests loved them and so did we. Alexandra was incredibly patient with us as we selected many items from her repertoire and even had one request that was special for us and her ensemble learned it and played it as well. The first half of the performance we chose from many classical selections--which really helped set the tone at first. Then, the ensemble segued into some familiar contemporary songs and it culminated in a processional number we chose--a "pop" number. The ensemble worked hard, showed up before the event, practiced, and started right on time. They were poised, friendly and competent! Many of them spoke Russian which for me, was an added plus because I lived in Russia for many years and know the calibre of musicians in general and the general attitude towards the culture and the arts. They were the utmost professionals and they added extra panache to our wedding! Needless to say I recommend them highly and if we ever have a party or event again, I will be sure to hire this ensemble again. By the way, they didn't mind at all heading over to Bergen County, NJ from Manhattan. Excellent!

I had the pleasure of working with Alexandra and her team! I hired her and a violinist for my wedding this past May and I was super happy I did. After having trouble with another musician not getting back to me, I was ecstatic that I found Alexandra, who is both an amazing musician (which is hard to find) and fabulous with her communication. Everyone was super impressed with the music and I can't thank them enough!

Alexandra was extremely professional easy to work with for my wedding. She was very responsive by email and was very accommodating when we decided to switch from a string trio to a quartet not long before our wedding date. Our guests loved the string music and we got specific compliments from Game of Thrones fans about how cool it was to hear the music at a wedding. Highly recommend!!

Alexa and her partner were both excellent! I hired them for a proposal I conducted in Bryant Park. Not only were they compliant and easy to work with, the music was amazing. They offered the best price on the market compared to everyone else. So happy I went with them and will totally hire the duet again. They performed Bruno Mars Marry You, thunder by imagine dragons, and stitches by Shawn Mendes. They can also perform rains of castamere.

Thank you so much for everything!

PS: she obviously said yes, how could she not!?!

Alexandra and her team were absolutely amazing. The team was professional, personable, and very skilled. They played a wonderful variety of classical and pop songs, and provided an elegant backdrop to our client event. As a first-time customer, extremely pleased.

Client was incredibly pleased with Alexandra and Boris. Will definitely keep them in mind for upcoming events.

Working with Alexandra was a pleasure. Truly a professional and experienced musician. Thank you so much for making our day so special.

Absolute pros - Alexandra's trio were complete perfection for our wedding day. Look no further - these are the musicians you want to put your trust in. Having them play really added a special touch to our day. Very fairly priced for such professional musicians. 10/10

Everything went smoothly.
Alexandra and her colleagues were great and we actually finished earlier than scheduled.
A+

My son loves musical instruments, especially the cello. Alexandra was wonderful - friendly, professional, patient and artistic. She played selections with which my son was familiar, and others that were definite crowd pleasers. My son was completely captivated, and she played beautifully. We were so happy having Alexandra play for our son's birthday party. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

My guests were happy. She played beautifully..

We hired Alexandra for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour for a cello/guitar duo. I can't tell you how beautiful her sound is it just blows me away and made our day so beautiful and perfect. They were super professional, prepared and communicative throughout the whole process and I would absolutely 200% recommend them to anyone looking for musicians with Cello. Absolutely gorgeous!

Alexandra played cello at a small personalized wedding in NY city for my friend. My experience with her was exemplary! From the onset she was very easy to work with. I booked her on short notice and she was very accommodating. She played as a solo cellist prior to the ceremony, during, and at the reception. EVERYONE was talking about her beautiful music as well as her presence. She is very beautiful to watch as she obviously LOVES to play and puts her heart and soul into it. She communicates that joy and added a very special experience to this wedding. I wanted to add an Elegant touch and she came through big time! She worked with the officiant to arrange beautiful songs during the ceremony. All the doctors that were at the ceremony are talking about Alexandra and her beautiful music!

We had Alex and the Ensembles play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were nothing short of breathtaking! Listening to their beautiful instruments as the processional commenced made the atmosphere exciting and special, and then when my amazing bride began to come down the aisle, the setting was more than perfect. At the cocktail hour, the quartet continued their brilliance, getting the evening festivities started and giving us a wonderful part of our night to remember! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALEX FOR ANY SPECIAL EVENT :)

They could not have been better. Their agreeable nature and wonderful sound made our "rainy day" wedding a perfect event

Alexandra and her string quartet surpassed what I could have imagined for my wedding. The 2 songs we requested were performed to perfection. The weather was a bit tempermental and Alexandra made it work. They were all flexible and super accommodating. I truly appreciate this incredible ensemble of musicians and would highly recommend them.

They were very professional from start to end. The communication was great, they were punctual and only took a few minutes to set up. The performance was beautiful, they made my anniversary more special than I could have imagined. Perfect for any big or small event!

We recently hired Alexandra and her team for a pre-wedding greeting of guests, our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were amazing!! Not only was Alexandra able to accommodate every single song choice I requested to hear, they sounded beautiful playing it. During cocktail hour, their repertoire of music was astounding - ranging from classical music to classic oldies as well as new popular songs like the Game of Thrones soundtrack. It was so fun for our guests to hear the pop songs and name them! Logistically, they arrived on time and were true professionals throughout the evening. Selecting Alexandra and her team was an awesome choice - it was one less thing a stressed out bride had to worry about. We loved them and would hire them again!

We worked with Alexandra this past October to create our pre-ceremony and ceremony music for our wedding (cello and violin). She was so friendly, organized, professional, and easy to work with. Rates were very reasonable and the music was just beautiful. Many guests commented afterward on how lovely the music had been, and were wondering where I located such gems! Look no further - with so many moving parts to worry about during the big day, it was such a relief to have Alexandra in charge of creating the atmosphere for the ceremony. An amazing and talented musician!

I highly recommend Alexandra. From the moment I contacted her to the day of my wedding, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always prompt in returning my emails, calls. She was so helpful when it was time to choose music. I put all my trust in her on the most important day and she came through WONDERFULLY. If you're looking for a cellist/violinist, don't hesitate, SHE WAS AMAZING AND MY GUESTS ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER MUSIC.

I hired Alexa's string trio to play at our wedding. They did a great job and provided the perfect ambiance. Everyone loved them! I get compliments for the "amazing string trio" that played at our wedding. Thanks Alexa!

We had a very nice experience with Alexandra (cellist) and Dmitry (guitar) when they played during an event in NYC! They were courteous and professional; they arrived on time dressed in beautiful attire and did a lovely job with learning & performing the music that was requested. It was a pleasure!

Alexandra and the quartet were amazing. They are extremely talented and play beautiful music. Alexandra was also very accommodating and easy to work with through out the process leading up to our wedding. All of our guests raved about how incredible the string quartet was. I highly recommend Alexandra if you are looking for a Cellist and or a string quartet.

Alexandra and her violinist did an amazing job! They were very patient and played beautifully!
Definitely recommended!

I organised a string duet for a surprise dinner on a NYC rooftop patio. Since I was in a different time zone, I had to organise everything online and through email. It came off without a hitch , the duet was perfect and the music was magical. I would recommend without hesitation.

Flawless rendition. Easy to work with. Would recommend to anyone in need of a musical performance.

Alexandra was exactly what I needed for my wedding. The music she played was beautiful and elegant. Our guest are still talking about our wedding. Alexandra played for the ceremony and for the cocktail hour and everyone enjoyed her. Thank you so much for making my day extra special. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have a true professional cellist at their event. Thank you.. Matt and I really appreciate you making our day beyond beautiful.

From Matthew and Pamela Andrews

I can't say enough good things about Alexandra NYC Cellist and Strings. My husband and I were on the hunt for a band for his 50th birthday that would fit our venue (an restored large manor) and our crowd (ranging from 20-90yrs old). Alexandra NYC Cellist and Strings were a perfect compliment to such a diverse crowd and setting. Two weeks later, I am still getting guests complimenting the music.
Alexandra was fantastic to work with! She was quick to respond to any of my questions, willing to work with my personal requests and eased any concerns I had. The day of the party, they came right on time and their music was better than I could ask for! So much so, the venue owner asked me for their information for future events.
I will absolutely hire Alexandra NYC Cellist and Strings again!!

My husband and I were very happy of having Alexandra NYC Cellist and Strings in our wedding ceremony. They created a beautiful atmosphere with the songs we selected, giving our ceremony in the park a beautiful touch.
The communication through email made everything very easy.

I contacted Alexandra to perform at my grandmother's funeral on Tues Nov 3 and I'm so grateful I did! In a time of sadness and grief, her music brought some peace to our hearts. There were about 75ppl in attendance at the wake in Corona Qns and I haven't stopped receiving compliments even 3 days later. The news of her performance travelled all the way to my family members in DR. People can't stop talking about it. Everyone said that they were so impressed with her music and with her instrument (cello) that now they all want that at their wake should they expire. I highly recommend her for all events and I look forward to working with her in the future! Even the funeral home plans to use her for their services. Alexandra performed Ave Maria and Over the Rainbow. Not only was the music beautiful but her facial expressions showed how much she herself was into the music. The entire performance was exceptional and I know my grandmother wldve appreciated it. Thank you Alexandra for everything.

Alexandra and Boris were a wonderful addition to an event that we hosted earlier this week. It was a corporate event for lawyers and their string music added an elegant touch. They were prompt, professional, fun and great at communication. I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Alexandra NYC Cellist and Strings was a pleasure having at our wedding; we had a cello and violin and the music was absolutely beautiful. Our guests raved at the violin and cello performance and the elegance it brought our ceremony and cocktail hour.
While booking Alexandra for our wedding, it was very helpful that she was quickly responsive and on top of things. She was the one vendor I did not have to track down to confirm with, because she already confirmed with me. I would definitely use them again if ever needed; and highly recommend for anyone. I am tough when it comes to reviews; so my 5 stars hold strong.

Alexandra and her violinist were amazing. They came early, prepped and played throughout our wedding ceremony and cocktails. We requested an original composition to be played (we provided the score) during the ceremony and they played it so beautifully. All my guests really thought they made the ceremony special. Many thanks, and I strongly recommend hiring Alexandra.

I hired Alexandra to perform at my daughters church service. Both she and her violinist delivered beautiful processional music and accommodated the musical selections we chose. She is a truly a professional in every sense. I would not hesitate in hiring her again.

Alexandra,

Just wanted to let you know that on a scale of 5 stars, I would rate your professionalism and musicality 6 stars. When that gentleman tripped and fell during my daughter's wedding ceremony, as a musician all I heard was a cello breaking. Yet when I walked back to see what happened, all I saw and heard was concern over the man who had fallen. You gave no indication that anything was wrong with your instrument, and you continued to perform beautifully for the remainder of your gig. Thank goodness the gentleman was okay, but you--you helped to make my daughter's special day perfect in spite of the damage to your cello!

Thank you so much for your excellent performance in your presentation as well as in your music. No one knew, but everyone enjoyed.

~Diane, Mom of the Bride

We engaged Alexandra for a string trio for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at The Manor in West Orange, New Jersey. Not only was she incredibly responsive to all of our questions, she was also very professional. She was very flexible and a joy to interact with. My guests could not stop talking about the trio and the enjoyment that their performance brought to them. The trio performed classical pieces as well as some more popular requests. We have already recommended Alexandra to several other friends and would definitely engage her again in the future! Simply awesome!

alexandra was amazing! She had great and prompt communication from the start and worked with my special request. She was early for set up and the music was perfect! Thank you!!

Alexandra was wonderful! We had her play (the cello) during the cocktail hour of our fundraising gala. She is extremely talented and professional, and was the perfect addition for our event. Alexandra was also very easy to work with and is quick to respond to all communication. I would highly recommend her.

Alexandra is an excellent communicator. We got many compliments on our ceremony music. They even learned Making My Dreams Come True by Hall & Oates for our processional song. Very good price. Will recommend! !

The cello/violin duo were perfect. They were early and played for the entire hour, including a number of classical pieces and "Happy Birthday to You." I was thrilled to have them perform at our birthday party. I highly recommend them!

Alexandra & her husband (cellist & guitarist) played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour a few weeks ago and were absolutely perfect. We were in a bind when our original booking fell through and they expedited the scheduling and made us very comfortable with our upcoming nuptials. The selection of music and ability to work with us to make the music flow and sound better than we could have anticipated was seamless. We would highly recommend them to anyone, for any event, in the future.

Guests at my wedding raved about Alexandra's string trio performance. People kept asking me how I found such amazing performers! As requested, they played a combination of classical and modern music, including one of my favorite songs that had only recently been released. It was very easy communicating with Alexandra, and she always replied promptly to my emails. I highly recommend Alexandra for any event where you want beautiful music played by very accomplished artists!

I hired Alexandra to record some parts for cello. She played wonderfully in tuned - something that is not always the case with string players and I was totally happy with her work she did for me. Plus she's attractive and has one of the most winning smiles I've ever seen on a human face. Her only flaw is she under charges for her time.

Our place of business is closing and we had a Farewell Luncheon. We had a violinist accompany Alexandra. They were professional and courteous. We had so many compliments on their playing. The music was the perfect touch to our day. They played classical music for the cocktail hour and the dinner. They were amazing!

We worked with Alexandra and she coordinated a great solo violinist performance for our wedding ceremony. When our original violinist had an emergency, she was replaced and all went off without any issues! Thanks!

Alexandra was perfect. She provided 2.5+ hours of ear orgasm during the ceremony+cocktail parts of my wedding. I was so busy planning until the last minute. Our communication consisted of 2 phone calls and 2 rounds of emails, and we chatted twice during the event. When I showed up to the ceremony still finalizing event details, she was already there playing. It was the most hassle free aspect of the wedding. In terms of the quality of the service itself, it was perfect. She and her partner whose name I didn't even get a chance to catch blended into the venue and carried the event to a different league. I want to organize another even just to have Alexandra play in it.

Great Moment for a Wedding Request. All war perfect. Thanks you !!!

Allexandra was very professional and accommodating to what we wanted for our ceremony. She will customize your ceremony to what music you want for your wedding. We got many compliments on how perfect the music was for the ceremony. I highly recommend her services for anyone's wedding.
