Rebecca was delightful to work with. She was prompt, professional and also very tuned in to what was happening at our event and flexible when she needed to be. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again myself.

Rebecca was wonderful and very professional. She played a variety of classical music, played the wedding march on perfect Q, and a lovely celebratory piece at the end of the ceremony. From the hiring, the contract, through the ceremony it was easy and everything went smoothly. We were very happy with everything!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 19, 2022•From Waltham, MA

Rebecca was absolutely fantastic! Her playing was beautiful and she learned 3 custom requests for us that were just perfect. We received several comments from our guests on how wonderful the cello music was. We couldn't have asked for better music for our wedding ceremony. She was very easy to work with, was very prepared, and knew exactly what to do. Thanks Rebecca! Keep up the wonderful playing!

Rebecca was fantastic from start to finish. From initial coordination of the event, through the performance. She played wonderfully in the variety of styles that were requested, and guests repeatedly made it a point to mention how wonderful the music was. I will absolutely be working again with Rebecca in the future.

Rebecca played beautifully and on very short notice for a funeral service at our church. She was extremely responsive in the negotiaon and planning stage, and was prompt and professional on the morning of the event. I recommend her most highly!!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 11, 2017•From Topsfield, MA

Rebecca was great. She was very flexible and willing to learn 2 songs that I had arranged myself and played them with the pianist at our wedding. Everything sounded great! I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a Cellist!

Rebecca made our wedding ceremony beautiful and romantic - she is a superb cellist and handled the contract and other operational matters like a true professional. I highly recommend her!

Rebecca arrived early and played a delightful variety of popular and classical songs for my evening event. She is a wonderful Cellist, professional and very pleasant to interact with.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 10, 2017•From Lincoln, MA

Arreaux Strings/Rebecca Shaw was great! She was stellar from start to finish. She was flexible and easygoing, yet entirely professional, and a great communicator. I would recommend her for any event. She had some lovely arrangements at her fingertips, but was also well versed in any classic and willing to learn anything out of her wheel-house. Thoroughly enjoyed working with her. A stroke of luck for me and my family! She really made my Mom's memorial service.

Private Party•Reviewed on January 6, 2017•From Boston, MA

Rebecca helped us pull of a proposal in December on the Boston Commons Bridge in very unfit, cold temperatures. She made it abundantly clear that the temperature can and would probably mess with her cello during her performance, but that didn't stop her from playing. The proposal went off without a hitch and we're very thankful for her willingness to work with us during a very trying time (temperature-wise). Thanks again, Rebecca!

I booked Rebecca to help with my surprise proposal. It was a rather chilly and windy day outside, but she and her violinist counterpart played right on through effortlessly. Rebecca was very accommodating to the songs I had requested, and it was a delight to listen to her play. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking to book a talented cellist for any occasion. Thank-you Rebecca for helping me propose to the love of my life!

Rebecca was professional, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. We would most definitely have her back at Bull Run and would recommend her without hesitation for any event requiring a cellist.

Review by Linda G.

Celebration•Reviewed on September 15, 2015•From Boston, MA

Rebecca was wonderfully professional to deal with, she communicated quickly and efficiently. She was amazingly accommodating, as her performance for our event required that she move 3 times, which she did so very willingly! I can wholeheartedly recommend her as a solo performer.
