Here at Heaton Place we have really been enjoying having Yarik come & play for us. He is very talented and his music is played from the heart. You can feel the emotion in his music. Yarik is a pleasure to work with; he shows up for his performance on time and ready to play.

We are an independent senior living home most of the time the residence asked for singers however, this time we were in a bind and Yaroslav stepped in and did an amazing performance. The residents were gob smacked they loved watching him perform they enjoyed the music selection, and repetitively kept asking me, Nay, begging me to bring him back! He was so loved that even my general manager asked to book him for another event. You will not be disappointed highly recommended.

Yarik played the cello at our wedding, and it made the day feel even more special. His playing was beautiful, emotional, and created such a warm atmosphere during the ceremony. We are very grateful that he was part of such an important day for us. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and reliable cellist for a wedding or special event.

We had Yaroslav as well as his brothers play at our wedding. I could not recommend him enough if you’re looking for live music. He’s a true musician and his tasteful style of playing will add just the right amount of ambiance to your event without being over stimulating or overwhelming. Being the bride and a musician myself, I can say that it added to our day in a way that I still look back on! Yaroslav is very professional, well versed in his craft and has a very charming/charismatic personality. If you’re looking for live, beautiful instrumental music for your event, I would recommend Yaroslav without hesitation.

The first time I’ve ever heard Yaroslav play his cello, I fell in love with the instrument! He is the first cello player I have heard, and I was very impressed. I think what makes his performances so captivating, is the fact that you can see his passion for the instrument. And to me that makes a whole world or a difference! I see this young man going places with his unique talent. Hoping to hear him play again very soon!

Yaroslav was incredible when we asked him to play a custom song for us at our wedding, and play through cocktail hour. We had people taking photos and recording him because he was so great. We couldn’t have asked for a better cello player! Thank you for adding a special touch to our big day. Chelsea & Raine

We had the absolute pleasure of having Yaroslav play cello at our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! From the moment he arrived, he was incredibly sweet, professional, and thoughtful. Yaroslav arrived early to get everything set up and prepared well before our guests arrived, which gave us such peace of mind on an already busy and exciting day. He was also dressed so beautifully and looked every bit as professional as he sounded. And the music… absolutely beautiful. Yaroslav played so beautifully and created the most perfect atmosphere for our ceremony and special day. His cello was such an elegant and lovely backdrop, and it added something truly magical to the whole experience. We are so grateful Yaroslav was part of our wedding and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind musician. Thank you so much, Yaroslav, for helping make our wedding day even more beautiful!

Yaroslav and his brothers, Erik and Veniamin, were a pleasure to have at my wedding reception in Coldstream. They sounded fantastic and played with expression. Everyone loved them. Thank you brothers for your music. God bless you all. Nastya

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this incredibly talented duo! They played cello and guitar for our daughter’s wedding, and they truly added something magical to the entire day. They played as our guests arrived before the ceremony and again during cocktail hour, and the music was absolutely beautiful. It created such a peaceful, elegant atmosphere and set the tone perfectly. There were moments when I just stopped and listened because it was so beautiful. Their music wasn’t simply background music. It became part of the feeling and memory of the day. So many of our guests commented on how amazing they were, and I honestly can’t imagine the wedding without them now. If you are considering live music for your wedding or special event, I would recommend them without hesitation. They added such a beautiful and unforgettable element to our daughter’s wedding.
