years of experience, a commitment to excellence
Tom Kersey has been performing for weddings and other special events since the year 2000, and is on a mission to provide everything he can to his clients to give them an exciting and beautiful musical experience. Whether the client wants completely traditional wedding music with all of the classic songs, or something unique to them complete with special requests, Tom can, has, and will deliver.
In addition to being a fine classical player, Mr. Kersey is a versatile musician who offers music in styles such as jazz and pop, and he is also an improvisor of unique and beautiful music inspired by jazz, rock and world music.
If you have a special request for a song you would love to have for your wedding, don't hesitate to ask. Tom takes special requests in virtually any style. Consider, for example, the bride who chose to walk down the ailse to a Tori Amos song, the couple who requested "La Vie en Rose", or the clients who wanted to dance to "I Swear" for their ceremony, all specially arranged for solo cello and performed by Mr. Kersey.
The kind words of one recent client are a testament to the quality of Mr. Kersey's services: "Tom was wonderful! I can't believe that I ever considered not having music. His music MADE the ceremony. He is very talented, extremely professional, and the cost was very reasonable."
