Funeral•Reviewed on December 3, 2025•From Richboro, PA

I hired Dan to play at my Mother’s viewing, and thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and musical talent. The music provided a deeply moving backdrop to a difficult day. I highly recommend him for any event where elegance and emotional depth are needed.

Tina, thank you for trusting me with providing a meaningful musical backdrop for your mother's viewing. I'm so glad that I was able to provide some comfort for you and your family during a difficult time. My deepest condolences for your loss.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 31, 2024•From Lincroft, NJ

Dan was absolutely amazing for our Christmas wedding cocktail hour. He was professional in all his communication and so accommodating even with a few curve ball songs we requested! So many guests commented on how talented he is. Thanks Dan for making our day so beautifully perfect! Just thinking of another reason to book Dan again!! Jason & Mary Beth

Wedding•Reviewed on October 18, 2022•From Andover, NJ

Dan was hired to play at my son's outdoor wedding this past weekend. My experience with Dan from beginning to end was amazing. He was very patient and accommodating with regard to the change of venue and the complicated procession. Dan also has wonderful suggestions regarding song selection. He was punctual, professional, friendly and very talented. I highly recommend Dan's services and will definitely be calling on him again in the future.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on November 17, 2019•From Sussex, NJ

If I could give Dan ten stars ?? I would! He traveled quite a distance to make my sister’s 20th anniversary party extra special. We were looking for a cellist and he was more than we could have hoped for. Not your “average cellist”.. love the use of the loop machine. Dan is so talented. And we loved the contemporary twist he put on some of our favorites. He didn’t even miss a beat when the crowd started singing along. Truly a stand up guy.. hire him you will not be disappointed. If we have another occasion for live music, we will definitely use him again! Thanks again, Dan!

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on November 10, 2019•From Union, NJ

Dan was extremely professional on the day of our Wedding. We hired him for the Cocktail Hour and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Our guests was given us and they are still giving us good compliments on how well he played the Cello on that day. The best part of him playing was seeing him on his own ‘World’ - you could tell he loves what he does - he is really passionate in music. I actually saw myself looking at him for a bit and was amazed on his skills. Thank you Dan - my husband and I are really thankful. You did a phenomenal job on our Wedding. - if you want good music in your event, don’t think twice and reach out to this fantastic Musician.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 7, 2019•From Bethlehem, PA

Dan played during our wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour. Dan was wonderful and we received so many compliments about his performance. He played so beautifully that one of the waiters at the restaurant said that he was almost in tears listening to him! Dan's mix of classical and contemporary music pleased everyone. We heard comments about how cool it was that he mixed his live music with recordings in the background. Several people wanted to know more about Dan. We couldn't have been happier with Dan's work.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 19, 2019•From Andover, NJ

From the start Dan was very involved and took a strong interest in my daughters wedding plans. A true pro, Dan was on time and quickly helped set the mood for the day, playing a wide ranging array of music while the guests arrived and without missing a beat, started the ceremony off right. With the ceremony complete, Dan relocated to the cocktail hour and set the mood with both classic and uptempo music which we continue to get calls about from our guests. Really can’t say enough about Dan and his music. Dan helped make our daughters big day one that will not be forgotten.

Baby Shower•Reviewed on May 12, 2019•From Brooklyn, NY

I hope this is the right place to leave a review. Dan Kassel provided me cello service for 2 hours plus. He arrived exactly when he said he would. He was very professional and engaging. His repertoire of music was beautiful, soothing, and relaxing. Every guest was sooooooo happy and wanted more. I have definitely added him to my list of contacts and referred everyone to gigmaters.com for a bank of other musical choices.
