"Cellobration" (piano with cello)
Cellobration is really popular with our clients. We play a wide variety of music with popular classical to arrangements of many contemporary artists.
I am also Director of Music at First United Methodist Church in Charlottesville. If you are considering a church wedding, our church sanctuary and facility in downtown Charlottesville is centrally located, historic and beautiful. Check out: http://cvillefirstumc.org/
Many years in the music business have included touring with Big Ray and the Kool Kats, music director at The Heritage Repertory Theater of the University of Virginia, and numerous solo piano jobs at various hotels and resorts throughout the United States.
I am ready to help make your special day perfect!
Heart-warming review received in 2023!
We found your information on the internet. You played at our wedding on 9/27/1997 at Greencroft. We’ve been married for over 25 wonderful years and have never forgotten how great you and your group were. We had so many compliments about you even to this day.
Hope everything is great for you and your family. We now live on the beach in FL, loving life. You’ll always hold a special place for us.
God Bless.
Brian and Nancy C.

Cellobration was wonderful!
We were delighted with the music Kevin provided for our reception. Many guests were suitably impressed with the music and the professional he brought to the event. Very flexible and so easy to work with, Kevin was a pleasure to work with

Outstanding musician!
Kevin is the ultimate professional - exceptionally talented, reliable, and flexible. He plays an extensive variety of musical selections; we chose classical pieces for the ceremony and contemporary music for the cocktail hour. Kevin's renditions of all were beautiful, adding elegance and class to the occasion. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful Virginia wedding piano and cello musicians
Kevin and Cellobration were absolutely wonderful to work with and were a key part of our beautiful wedding day in Charlottesville. We requested a version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" for the song to walk down the aisle to, and Kevin was very helpful and accommodating in creating an arrangement that worked perfectly for us. We also greatly appreciated Cellobration's flexibility in playing in colder temperatures, and found a solution where they played inside while the music was projected outside. I highly recommend Kevin and Cellobration for your wedding or event music, they did an outstanding job!

Highly recommend!!
Kevin White cellobration played beautifully during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They set the perfect mood during our ceremony and we loved how they played instrumental versions of more modern songs to liven up the cocktail party portion. They had an excellent song selection and were so easy to work with. Would highly recommend!

Kevin was truly amazing!! He was extremely professional and through from phone calls to meeting him, to the day of the wedding. Very helpful with the planning, flexible and responsive. His piano playing was absolutely beautiful! He made the day so much more special! Highly recommend.

Fantastic!
Kevin’s music is wonderful! I heard him play at another wedding and knew immediately that I wanted him to play for my daughter’s wedding. I would highly recommend him!

We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job you and Laura did during our ceremony and cocktail hour! Multiple guests commented on what a lovely atmosphere you created for us. We are SO grateful to have you both as a part of our wedding day (and our BEST day ever). Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!!

Definitely Recommend! Best pianist in the area
Kevin was amazing! From the second I first emailed him, I knew he was responsive and flexible. He never rushed me to make a decision on the music and even threw out some great recommendations for songs for the ceremony. He can play anything (and in several different ways!) My dad even planned a surprise to have a "Love Actually" style band play 'All You Need is Love' during the recessional and Kevin worked with him to ensure it went off without a hitch.

I am a vocalist and have been singing at weddings for over 5 years now and I can confidently say my experience with Kevin was one of the BEST. He is extremely organized, detail oriented, timely, flexible with the ability to handle dynamic, fast paced environments. Kevin made me as the singer feel extremely comfortable and confident. He is so very talented and more importantly passionate about creating an experience for the Bride and Groom and their loved ones.

Kevin is an absolute pro. I've known Kevin for a number of years and he was the person I wanted to play at my daughters wedding . Did a fantastic job. You wont be disappointed if you take my advice.
