Golden Hour Strings is a collective of string professionals based in Denver, Colorado. Our performers have hundreds of weddings and events under their belts and are experts at crafting memorable soundscapes for a wide range of events. Our performers have earned their degrees in music and shared the stage with touring artists including Pretty Lights, Disturbed, Sara Brightman, Lady Gaga, Josh Groban, RUSS, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and more. Not only do we love to share our music with audiences, we also love getting to work one-on-one with clients to create catered setlists.

owner | cellist | music coordinator

I'm a Colorado native who has been performing at weddings, corporate events, recording sessions, in bands, and alongside touring acts since 2012. I specialize in multiple genres of music, improvisation, and performing the cello amplified. As a vendor with years of on-the-job learning, I love using my knowledge to create smooth experiences for clients.

(one of my) Favorite Wedding Site: Piney River Ranch, Vail, CO

Fanciest/coolest gigs yet? Red Rocks and Ball Arena with touring acts including 2Cellos, Pretty Lights, Josh Groban, Disturbed, RUSS, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. 

When I'm not playing at weddings and events, I love making music with my band, The Deborah Solo Trio, and spending time with my husband and our very sassy and talkative husky.
