Excellent to work with! Andrew took the time to play some songs I was considering over the phone with me as well as go over every single song I wanted played at the wedding. I truly appreciate the time and dedication he took to making my wedding a truly memorable experience. My guests loved him!

Event•Reviewed on March 27, 2017•From Brooklyn, NY
Andrew was a pleasure to work with. He was always reachable via phone and internet. And was accommodating and helpful when it came to song choice. He was on time and quickly set up and worked well with my crew and talent.
He played beautifully with an amazing cello. The sound was beautiful and memorable. He can play a wide range of music new and old. Would highly recommend for weddings and other classy events. Class Act.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 14, 2016•From Poughkeepsie, NY
Andrew was fantastic. He auditioned for my now wife and I over the phone, and we asked him to learn a few songs which he again played for us prior to the wedding so we were super comfortable knowing he was going to be great. The day of he was very early, very professional, and made our ceremony even more special. The cello is the perfect instrument for a wedding, and Andrew could not have been better. Here are the songs he played for us to give you an idea of how diverse he is:
"The Rose"
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
"Penny Lane"
"Eleanor Rigby"
"This Year's Love" by David Gray
"Bach Prelude in G"
Definitely do not hesitate to book Andrew, he is fantastic!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 30, 2016•From New York City, NY
Andrew played audition pieces over the phone to assure we would be comfortable with him and his talent.
He worked hard on a special number for us (not in a typical cellist repoitoire).
At our ceremony at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, his pre-wedding music had to compete with a large festival warming up. As the officiant let me know "he was more than holding his own - lol"
He played beautifully and then continued while photos ensued afterward. So nice to have his cello music in such an intimate setting in a large park.
I would recommend Andrew for anyone seeking a cellist. Just specify what you would like or ask him for suggestions.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 23, 2016•From Montclair, NJ
The cellist, Andrew was perfect choice for the party we had, he has deep knowledge in music and that shows in his playing, his some of the best (though all plays were best) Bach # 3 and 1 & ode to joy, he also played famous other songs such as, mack the knife, i love you etc..
He was on time and played till the event ends, he is very reliable cellist for your next party and i recommend him strongly

Event•Reviewed on June 4, 2016•From New York City, NY
What can I say, Andrew was great. Throughout the whole planning Andrew kept in touch gave me updates on the music. Also took the time to look for the perfect location in Central Park in New York since I live in Los Angeles. Once we found him in the park he started to play and made our engagement special since my Fiancé loves the cello. Flowers was a very special touch that his assistant gave my Fiancé. The playing was phenomenal, did an amazing job learning the songs I gave him. I really recommend him for special events. Thanks again Andrew from Jose and Jessie.

Private Party•Reviewed on March 1, 2016•From New York City, NY
I have never hired a musician for any event so I was nervous to use gigmasters at first. Andrew is not only an amazing cellist, he was very pleasant and willing to help me find the perfect playlist for the event I was hosting. I highly highly recommend him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 1, 2015•From New York City, NY
Since the moment I met Andrew over the phone, I realized how professional and willing to accommodating he was. He was willing to put together a playlist based on my requests. He arrived to the event venue very early and he was ready to start on time. He was extremely easy in every way. Thanks again Andrew!

Funeral•Reviewed on October 27, 2015•From White Plains, NY
Andrew was great. Hi is a very responsible person, call me right away, answer all the questions, accommodating all the request songs, very appropriate gesture for funeral occasions, all my colleagues and family members like him. Nevertheless, his musical talent as cellist is great too. I am thinking about him for my daughter's sweet 16 birthday.Thanks again Andrew., appreciate your kindness and help. Ed Pan

Engagement Party•Reviewed on September 26, 2015•From New York City, NY
Andrew played an extremely difficult embellishment of Bach's Prelude in G and Ave Maria w/only ONE day preparation. His performance was flawless. His professionalism, delivery, & friendliness was unparralled.
All this for a surprise engagement at Belvedere Castle in Central Park that left my fiance in tears of joy & a memory she will relish with joy the rest of her life.
The night would have been special w/out Andrew, but he made it unforgettable w/his phenomenal performance PLUS he cleared the courtyard & had a lady friend waiting in order to hand me a bouquet of flowers for my now fiancé. May anyone reading this be lucky enough to book you.

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 5, 2017•From Brooklyn, NY
He was very sweet as well as talented. It was obvious that he really enjoyed his profession and talent and that made the experience even better. He did a lot of work to find pieces that would please me as well as my guests and gave great recommendations as to what pieces he could/might play. My guests and I loved not only hearing his beautiful music but also talking to him during his breaks. It was a great experience overall and really enhanced my party in ways that my past parties did not see.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 30, 2018•From New York City, NY
Andrew played at our wedding. He learned five new songs for us. A few days before the wedding, we had a phone call and was able to sample all the songs. The only bump we encountered was the time of the ceremony, it started to mist and it caused a delayed to our start time. We were behind by 30 minutes because of the need to shelter Andrew’s cello.We completely understood that his equipment is a very expensive piece and can’t be wet. We just hoped the two, coordinator and Andrew communicated a little earlier.This cause the end of the ceremony to be in the dark. Our photos suffered from this. Overall, Andrew was great and we were mostly happy with his performance.

Private Party•Reviewed on October 12, 2021•From New York City, NY
I hired Andrew Monohan (cellist) and Bree Clarke (vocalist) to play at a house party. This I have done before. I am always pleased with the work of Andrew and Bree as it brings a pleasant, volume-at-the-right-level sound to the event. Andrew and Bree know a variety of standard soft rock and show tunes that will please most any audience. Andrew has excellent intuition as an accompanist to Bree's high, pure vocals. They are a pleasure to have for a party with a subtle, familiar background and direct listening pleasure.

Stephen,
It was great performing at your party with Bree Clarke. So happy that it was a success!
