About Rachel Gawell Burns, Cellist
Rachel Gawell Burns, 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 great!
Always love working with Rachel. She brings wonderful warmth and professionalism to the job. Rachel clearly cares about her work and striving to deliver the best possible performance. Her artistry is beautiful; I could listen to her play cello for hours!
Contractor
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.
Made our wedding a dream come true
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!
Rachel did a great job with our wedding. She was professional, communicative, and had no trouble accommodating our requests. Her playing made our day absolutely perfect - I recommend her to anyone wanting to add something special to their wedding!
