About Rachel Gawell Burns, Cellist

Rachel Gawell Burns, Cellist

Cellist

Currently booking 7 months in advance or less. I love playing cello for wedding ceremonies! It’s a classy and simple option that works perfectly with covid safety precautions. I connect directly with each couple to find the right vibe for the music they like.

With me, you are speaking directly to the person who is playing your wedding. I love what I do and care about the quality of your ceremony. This is a passion for me and I am in it for the love of being part of one of the most important moments in people’s lives. Other strings companies are usually contractors which means the person you speak to is a different person than who shows up to play.

    Rachel is absolutely fantastic!! She has an incredibly diverse set of music and her playing is beautiful. Communicating with her is easy and professional, and she is fun and lighthearted. Would 100% recommend.

    Ms. Gawell is a first-rate musician who showed great flexibility, breadth, and resourcefulness in her work for our wedding. She played the two pieces we requested—which were worlds away in style—beautifully and was a joy to work with. She is responsible, friendly, and great at coordinating with other musicians. The wedding wouldn't have been the same without here and I give her my highest recommendation,

  • Rachel is a delight!
