From welcoming music before the ceremony, to the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, Cello Joe can handle it all for you. From classical cello to alternative, funky, beatbox cello grooves to DJing a dance party, Cello Joe can perform for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and dance parties.

“Not sure where to begin writing this review. There are truly no words big enough to describe how special Cello Joe was as our wedding DJ. He wasn’t just a part of our wedding day, he made our wedding day. From the very first moment to the very last song, he gave us something so magical, so unforgettable, that it still makes us emotional to think about. He was literally the heartbeat of our day. He played live cello pre ceremony for all the guests to enjoy that was truly so beautiful. But the live cello as I walked down the aisle is a memory etched into our hearts forever. It was more than music. It felt like the soundtrack to our love story, and it was the most beautiful beginning to the rest of our lives. Then, during cocktail hour, he transformed the atmosphere with looping, beatboxing, and cello in a way that left every single guest completely captivated. People couldn’t stop talking about it, and even now, they’re still telling us it was the most unique and breathtaking performance they’ve ever experienced at a wedding from start to finish. And then there was the saxophonist he brought in during the dance party. pure magic. Together, they created an energy that was electric, soulful, and overflowing with joy. They didn’t just entertain, they touched every heart in the room. Not only was he the most talented cello musician, he absolutely crushed the dance party and played non stop for 3:30 hours. Not one bad song or bad mix. It was absolutely incredible. But what truly sets him apart is how much heart he pours into what he does. Without us even knowing, he recorded our entire ceremony, our cocktail hour, our dance floor, and gifted us not just music, but memories. He allowed us to relive the most important day of our lives again and again. That level of thoughtfulness is beyond anything we could have imagined. Our wedding was perfect because of him. He exceeded every expectation and gave us more than we ever dreamed possible. He is, without question, the most talented, kind, and extraordinary musician and DJ we have ever met. If we could give him more than 5 stars, we would. To us, he isn’t just the best wedding DJ in the world, he’s someone we will forever be grateful for, someone who gave us the gift of a wedding day that truly felt like a dream. Cello Joe, thank you for all the moments you created throughout our weekend. You truly are one of the most talented people we’ve ever met and I will be recommending you to everybody I know!!”

As longtime fans of Romantica and Ben Kyle, we reached out to see if he’d perform at our ceremony and we’re so glad we did! Ben was wonderful to work with from start to finish.

DJ
Starts at $500
Serves Talkeetna, AK for additional fees

Originally from Alaska, I moved to Colorado in 2026 for more opportunities, however still take bookings back home. I have residency’s at 4 bars/clubs in AK and CO, I’ve worked for 3 different wedding companies, and currently work for Wedgwood which is the largest wedding company in the US. I’ve had my own company since 2023, and have done everything from classy to trashy✨. Personally love to DJ, plan weddings, fly planes and build aircraft. If it has wings I’ve either flown or built it.

“I seriously can’t say enough good things about having Brayden as our DJ! We knew before we were even engaged that we wanted him for our wedding. We had seen him DJ other weddings and events and were always sooo impressed. I’ve been to plenty of weddings, but he was the first DJ that made me think yep, one day this is our guy Brayden was so much more than just our DJ. He helped guide the whole day, kept things flowing, engaged the crowd & made sure we never had to worry about what was happening next. We knew we could completely trust him and that took such a huge weight off our shoulders! I am also VERYYYY picky when it comes to music, aesthetics & vibes, so I definitely had a vision for how I wanted everything to feel. To me, music is so special to me and sets the vibe for the whole day. it’s so important to find someone who understands what you want. Somehow he took our vision and made it even better than I could’ve expected. The music was AMAZING. He didn’t just play songs one after another, everything flowed together so seamlessly. His transitions were so cool and had this subtle EDM feel at times without being overdone or taking away from the songs. He also knew exactly how to read the room. There was something for every age group and somehow it all went together perfectly. Everyone was having an absolute blast, dancing and having the best time. we still have people telling us how much fun they had and how great our DJ was! Brayden is so fun while still being professional, kind and easy to work with. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and has a talent for it that not everyone has. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and he was such a huge part of that. We would choose him again a million times over! I’m looking forward to seeing all that he does in the future!”
