Feedback

  • I did a destination wedding and we had a small ceremony. I was impressed with Hitoshi's preview music on his gig master page and I booked him. He was always quick to answer my emails. The most important thing was he showed up to the venue early as parking can difficult. He was professional and played beautifully. I would recommend him for your wedding or any special occasion. -- Cassandra M, La Jolla, CA, 5/14/2012
  • Romantic Cello was very professional and on time the day of the event. I had made about 3 months prior to my best friends wedding and we have kept in touch since then. he was really fast at emailing and replying back to our phone calls. He was really nice and very well organized. I am happy that he showed up on time , knew what he was doing and played what he was supposed to play. Since it was my best friends wedding, I didnt want to dissapoint her at all with the experience.I will recommend Hitoshi again and again. Thank you Hitshi for a wonderful experience. -- Rizza O, Hollywood, CA, 10/2/2011
  • Hitoshi was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. He often responded to my emails even late at night, which was greatly appreciated. He and the flautist were able to accommodate my request to play an original composition a friend had composed for my wedding. With minimal direction from me, they ended the composition at the right time and point of our ceremony. I guess that's what professionals do. Without a doubt, he is someone I'd work with again in the future. -- Amy H, Pasadena, CA, 10/1/2011
  • Hitoshi of Romantic Cello was so wonderful! Before the wedding we spoke a number of times to go over the best music and instrumental duo for our special day. Hitoshi took the time and care to answer each and every question and never made me feel bad for asking! On the day of our wedding he played the songs we requested for cocktail hour and our ceremony music was perfect too! Our family and friends were so impressed and I heard a number of people say that they look forward to hiring him for future events. His cello and digital piano are top quality instruments At first, I thought he had brought a real piano with him! I highly recommend Hitoshi for your event! -- Stacy K, Los Angeles, CA, 9/25/2011
  • He was very professional. Came early to set up and was willing to stay longer if needed. Played beautifully and will have him again for a event. All the guest enjoyed the music. -- Evette F, Inglewood, CA, 9/17/2011

  • Hitoshi was GREAT!!! I received a lot of compliments from wedding guests. He is very professional and plays awesome music. Thanks to him my daughter's wedding was extra special and the ambiance his music created was wonderful. I will refer him in the future to all friends and family needing that extra touch to their celebration. -- Yesenia M, Westminster, CA, 8/12/2011
  • Adrian & Cinthya: We Just want to say Thank you Hitoshi, you're a very talented artist your performance was amazing! -- Sinthya R, Laguna Beach, CA, 8/7/2011
  • Hitoshi did a great job! my guests thoroughly enjoyed the music and he responded to requests made by the group. He was discreet and engaging when applicable. I would recommend him to a friend. -- Lindsey T, Del Mar, CA, 7/2/2011
  • Hitoshi was absolutely amazing! I decided later that I wanted a duet instead of a solo and he took care of the whole thing. Ali Park, the flutist, joined Hitoshi on the cello and both were spectacular. Hitoshi was very communicative, emailed me right away when I asked questions. He made the whole process effortless. I would definitely recommend Romantic Cello for your wedding ceremony! -- Shirley P, Dana Point, CA, 6/11/2011
  • Hitoshi was PERFECT. I would recommend him to anyone and will definately use him again. He responded quickly to my emails, arrived on time, has an amazing talent, played longer than expected, was accommodating and make our special night even more special. I was impressed with every aspect of his performance, professionalism, talent and kindness. Thank you so much!!! -- Debra S, Dove Canyon, CA, 5/6/2011
  • Our client was delighted with Hitoshi Suzuki and I will use him anytime I have request for cellist as he is wonderful to work with. -- Rosemary W, San Diego, CA, 2/14/2012
  • Hitoshi drove all the way out to Joshua Tree National Park to play his cello for about 30 minutes in what turned out to be quite chilly weather. He did a fantastic job accommodating our requests for non-traditional cello music and was a pleasure to finally meet in person after only communicating via email leading up to our ceremony. I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married in California! -- Andrea S, 29 Palms, CA, 2/11/2012
  • I hired Hitoshi to play cello for my wedding ceremony. He was there on time and very professional. He also responded to my emails/ concerns very fast as well. I would recommend him to anyone. He's great! -- Nikki J, Tustin, CA, 11/11/2011
  • Both Hitoshi and his partner (flutist) were terrific. They were on time, professionally dressed, and really set an awesome tone for our wedding ceremony. I highly recommend them! -- Rob G, Yorba Linda, CA, 10/29/2011
