Captivating Cellist

I had the pleasure of having Jasmine perform at my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! When I thought of my wedding when growing up, I always wanted a live musician to play during the ceremony and I am so happy that Jasmine was the one I chose.

Jasmine is responsive, professional, flexible, and a true pleasure to work with. I had a few unconventional requests—metal songs that weren’t in her repertoire—and she went above and beyond to adapt them beautifully for the cello and recorded the backing tracks for the special day.

Not only is she flexible and easy to work with, but she’s also just so nice and made the whole process stress-free. She checked in when she had any questions and followed our instructions perfectly, ensuring everything went smoothly. Her beautiful cello music brought such a unique and elegant touch to our special day, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Played With Love (Jasmine Long) - Wedding Review

We hired Jasmine and a fellow associate to play live music (cello & violin) at our wedding ceremony and could not be more thrilled with how it turned out!

They were able to perform all the songs we wanted (ranging from Bridgeton style music, Disney, and video games) along with arranging two songs that are not well known and meant a lot to us to be played for both the groom and the bride's songs down the aisle. It all turned out so well! I'm not a musician but I can tell that the talent from the two of them were there, as I had a lot of guests post stories of their performances on social media.

Additionally, I felt their pricing was very fair, and they were very accommodating with all our requests. They were also willing to drive one hour out from Calgary (for a very reasonable travel fee) where our venue was. They setup their speakers and sound tested everything well before the ceremony started, and played for all guests before the start as well.

We will definitely recommend Jasmine and her company to others for future events!

Best Live Music Services in.... Everywhere!

What can I not say about Jasmine?! She provided months of communication, coordination, and positive experiences!

I got married this past weekend (Aug 4th) and I reached out to Jasmine early February. She communicated with me so much, answered every question, and really made me feel at ease for the big day.

I feel like she provided a really personalized experience, especially when it came to the songs my husband and I were walking to. We were able to make requests, and if she didn't have the sheet music, she would find it, and if she couldn't find it, she would compose it! Who does that?! Jasmine does!

Jasmine created a beautiful rendition of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" by Skrillex - the song that made me fall in love with dubstep and EDM (and why I think of "love" when I hear it), and has been my favorite song for over 15 years. This isn't an easy song to compose to sound elegant and beautiful, but she did it! And she even sent me sound files before the wedding so I knew how it would sound before the wedding.

The music for the guests arrival and during cocktail hour was so beautiful and really elevated the event. Our guests loved this part of our wedding so much!

Jasmine and James made the day so memorable and the ceremony so special! We can't thank you both enough for that ❤️

Incredible cellist performance for wedding ceremony

We are so happy that we hired Jasmine for our wedding this past weekend. Jasmine was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with since we first contacted her almost a year prior. Leading up to the wedding, she checked in at appropriate times to communicate details for the songs to play during the processional. Her repertoire was amazing and she also offered suggestions when we were overwhelmed with the amount of songs to choose from! On the day of, Jasmine arrived early and was such a pleasure to talk to. Her performance was incredible - she is a very talented cellist. The music was perfect for adding some ambience to our venue, and she also had appropriate background music to complement her playing. Our guests all raved about her beautiful music. It added such a great touch to our ceremony and reception. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jasmine to others or to hire her again in the future. She was such a pleasure to work with and very professional throughout! Thank you again, Jasmine, for playing for us on our special day!

Enchanted Forest Wedding

My husband and I cannot thank Jasmine enough for how incredible she made our ceremony! Prior to, she was so professional and accommodating. She was very transparent about the reasonable cost of services break down and even hosted a phone call for us to discuss all the details and feel really confident about our plans. On the day of, her and her guitarist colleague Christy were so prepared and flexible with our schedule. Once they started playing their guitar and cello duet, they enchanted the whole forest for our ceremony. When I walked down the aisle, I was stunned by the moment they helped create. We’ve received nothing but compliments from all our guests about what a magical touch their talented live performance added to the day. We are ao grateful to have connected with Jasmine and highly recommend her services as a very special addition to anyone’s plans.

Nothing Short of Magical

I was referred to Jasmine by a friend and I'm Soo glad we hired her for our wedding. She was easy to work with and even helped us in other aspects of our wedding planning. After our first meeting, I knew we were in good hands and didn't worry the day of the wedding. Once I saw the doors open and saw my bride to be, the music started playing and it was nothing short of magical. It was perfect.

Cellist of your dreams

Jasmine is so many things wrapped into one. First and foremost she is an incredibly talented cellist. Her tone, pitch and dynamics make the song sound so smooth and romantic and really showcases the amount of time she has put into her craft. She can play any song you ask her to play and even plays it to a beautiful backing track which she creates herself to further fill out the sound and create a full sounding performance. Jasmine is also very professional as she would respond quickly and communicate clearly and kept things organized throughout our back and forth conversations. The contract she provides you with asks detailed questions to make sure she knows exactly what you would like from her performance. Jasmine arrived early to the rehearsal and wedding and makes sure she knows exactly the right location she is to be at to help you to feel at ease that she will be where you want her to be. Jasmine will also help to bring a smile to your face with her sweet and funny personality that is so genuine, sincere and full of care! She truly does put her whole heart into her gigs and it shows. You will not be disappointed if you choose Jasmine for your event. She will stand out as one of the highlights of your day and create such gorgeous ambiance with her skillful playing. Thank you so much Jasmine for giving me the wedding of my dreams and for going above and beyond to deliver every detail we talked about. You’re the best!!! I wish you all the success in the future and will recommend you to anyone who is in need of a beautiful live musician for their event!
