Hitoshi was the consummate professional. He played beautifully and did not need any prompting as to when to start, or when to move on to the wedding march, etc. He was very experienced in performing for a wedding. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and would gladly be considered as a referral for him.

Words cant describe. Hitoshi was professional, prompt, responsive, flexible, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. He was early, remained patient as the start time to the ceremony was delayed and played some of the most beautiful music I have heard. It was the perfect touch and really pulled on your heart strings. I cant wait to hire him again as a surprise to my wife (shhhh). Stop reading this review and book him now!

Hitoshi reached out to me through The Bash and sent me a quote for my small backyard wedding. His price was extremely reasonable and included travel! He asked for my input about songs he should play and I requested two custom songs for him to play. He practiced and even sent me a video of him playing the songs so I could preview them to see if I liked them! They were of course both absolutely amazing! He arrived to the wedding early to make sure he was set up and ready to go. He was polite, professional, and so talented! All of my guests were so impressed by his professionalism, talent, and the elegance he added to our wedding. Definitely recommend!!
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 22, 2016•From Grand Canyon, AZ
He was absolutely amazing, we got married at the grand canyon national park at shoshone point out on the cliff over looking the whole canyon. He showed up on time, before actually. We were running late and he waited patiently for us. He played amazingly, it echoed through the whole canyon when he was playing during our ceremony. People that we didnt even know were hiking in, stopped to listen, watch and congratulated us and how beautiful it was and the sound of him playing. He made our wedding that much better & more memorable then I could have ever imagined it. It was simply perfect in every way. I highly, highly a thousand more times highly recommend him. Thank u

Hitoshi plays beautifully. He can read music well or improvise. Played Jazz, world music and traditional Jewish songs for us. He arrived well ahead of time and was set up before the guests arrived. He is professional, well dressed and easy to work with. His live cello playing is exquisite. Don't be fooled because he looks young. He is a real talent and pro. I would recommend him for any event you have. You won't be dissapointed.

Hitoshi is AMAZING! He is a true professional through and through. When I originally asked him to play at my wedding ceremony, I knew I wanted him to play "A Thousand Years" for the processional. I then asked him to play "Is this Love" for the recessional. He was not familiar with this song, but bought the music, studied it, sent me a sample and it was the talk of the wedding! He truly works hard to provide exactly what you want and he is so talented. Everyone commented on how beautiful the music was! He absolutely outdid himself. He text me to let me know he was on his way, arrived early and was wonderful. I would recommend Hitoshi again, hands down! Thank you!

Hitoshi was amazing. From the moment we began communicating with him, he was very flexible and accommodating with our schedule and our desires. He is a very talented musician and we are very glad we had him play at our wedding. He created an atmosphere that all of our guests enjoyed. We definitely would recommend him to anyone else wanting a Cellist at their wedding!
