"I hired Ms. Easton to perform for my at two live gigs and she performed excellently. She is very professional and skilled with her bow. I would highly recommend her if I didn't want her to only play for me. But since I am a river to my people, she has my endorsement. She is a quick study and played flawlessly."

"The original musicians I hired were canceled 1 week from my event due to illness. I decided to call the other musicians who bid on the event. Matt from Rock Strings scoffed at me and I lost hope, until I contacted Hope Easton.
Hope was very efficient with this process, easy to talk to, courteous, professional, polite, follows directions easily, prompt with communication and helped me with my proposal to my now fiancee.
On top of all that she is a wonderful talent, showed up on time, dressed professionally, and she assembled a great team for my graduation ceremony.
Thanks Hope and highest recommendations to you!

"Hope did a fabulous job at our wedding. She is very talented, professional, and friendly. She always answered my emails and returned my phone calls promptly. We also requested some songs that were not on her play-list and she learned the songs and played them. She also played some of her original songs during the ceremony and they were fantastic! My husband and I highly recommend her for any special occasion."

"Hope is a very talented and professional performer. It was obvious that her focus was on performing to the expectations of her clients which she accomplished masterfully. Her musical technique and presentation is strong and clear with passion interwoven into each selection. The guests at the party enjoyed her work immensely. Her virtuosity at the cello is inspiring while her voice and guitar work are exquisitely, emotionally moving and unforgettable. For the week before the event Hope saw to each and every detail concerning her performance and made the entire experience painless. she is a charismatic, consummate professional, a joy to work with and listen to."

"Hope made our wedding day special. We had only one request for specific music to be played during our ceremony. She played it beautifully, and then proceeded to play for over an hour during cocktails, selecting music of her choosing. We were very pleased as were our guests. I would gladly recommend Hope Easton to anyone interested in having a cellist perform for their special day"
