Live Wedding Music in Albuquerque That Moves the Soul
Congratulations on your engagement! This is such a special time—and your wedding deserves music that’s as heartfelt and unforgettable as your love story.
I'm Keely Mackey, an award-winning wedding cellist in Albuquerque, composer, and original artist known as Celloquacious. With over 20 years of experience performing at weddings throughout Albuquerque and surrounding areas, I create more than music—I craft emotional, cinematic soundscapes that elevate every moment of your celebration.
​
From your ceremony to cocktail hour or dinner, I provide live wedding music that is deeply personal and beautifully tailored to your day. I perform using a live looping station, layering rich cello tones in real time to create a full, orchestra-like experience that resonates with you and your guests.
​
Want something one-of-a-kind? I can compose an original piece just for your wedding, making your love story part of the music itself.
​
Looking for something even more unique? I also offer enhancements such as live dancers, visual art elements, and macro photography of your bouquet, rings, and floral details—perfect for adding a creative touch to your Albuquerque wedding.

Live Music for Life’s Most Meaningful Moments
For over 25 years, Keely has brought music to events of all kinds — from black-tie galas to intimate gatherings. Her performances have enhanced weddings, funerals, celebrations of life, yoga and spiritual retreats, fundraisers, art openings, graduation parties, and healing ceremonies, including bedside playing for those at the end of life.
With a deep sensitivity to each event’s emotional and acoustic setting, Keely curates a personalized musical experience. Her extensive repertoire includes classical works, her own award-winning original compositions, live-looped electroacoustic cello pieces, and custom arrangements of popular songs upon request.
​
Keely’s intuitive approach, musical presence, and thoughtful use of both sound and silence help create an atmosphere that’s deeply aligned with the spirit of each occasion. These experiences not only enrich others’ lives, but also allow her to share in moments of connection, healing, and celebration that reflect her values and artistic mission.​
Yoga Retreats
​
Yoga asana has had a special place in Keely's life since 1992, so it's only natural, that over a decade ago, Keely began performing for special yoga classes, retreats and events. Each class is unique, according to the type of yoga being practiced: flow, yin, etc. and the mindful intention set for the particular event. Keely has performed solo on her cello, and also utilizes her looping station, to build live layers of sound. She plays her own compositions, as well as her own arrangements of Kirtan and Classical pieces, according to the needs of the particular event. This creates a "sound bath that is at once haunting, atmospheric, and just deeply beautiful," Erin Hansbrough, Owner, Indi Yoga.
