Beautiful Wedding

My partner and I had a wedding where the weather wasn't cooperative. Bella Rosa arrived and worked with our venue to create an atmosphere that was inviting and beautiful. The music surrounded all of us in an atmosphere that helped us forget the rain and cold. I would recommend Bellarosa without hesitation.

Bellarosa - Best of the Best!

As event planners, we're always drawn to vendors who are communicative, easy to work with, flexible with our clients' requests, and prepared and reliable on event day. The Bellarosa artists consistently deliver a 5-star service each time, and Ivy is always a pro. We are lucky to work with her and her team throughout the year.

Excellent team with beautiful arrangements

Ivy and her team were beautiful to listen to. Her team’s music library is extensive and ranges from classic to the most modern/recent song choices. Our guests loved them and they are a great addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour. They are also extremely easy to work with and requires minimal effort (only a questionnaire after our initial meeting) on your part to be able to put together a playlist for your event. Her team was even able to learn a new song for one of our entrance within a week! They are so accommodating, and eased my mind to letting us know that they play visually so we don’t even have to worry about timing. Great team and incredibly talented group of musicians that were part of our special day!

Music for our wedding

We are still in awe of the music from our wedding weekend. The talent, emotion, and presence they brought to every moment was simply unmatched. From the ceremony to cocktail hour and throughout the evening, they created the most magical atmosphere — elegant, warm, and unforgettable.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the music was and how perfectly it complemented our setting. It truly elevated our day and made every moment feel cinematic and special. I would do it all over again, everything was perfect.

Loved Bellarosa!

We were absolutely thrilled with Bellarosa’s performance at our wedding! From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, their beautiful violin and cello music created the perfect atmosphere that was elegant, romantic, and truly memorable. Their musicianship is exceptional, and you can feel the emotion and artistry in every note.
Bellarosa was also incredibly professional and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were responsive, accommodating with our music selections, and showed genuine care in making sure everything was perfect for our big day. Many of our guests commented on how stunning the live music was and how it elevated the entire experience. They were an unforgettable part of our wedding and we’re so grateful for their contribution to such a special moment in our lives.

Enchanting wedding thanks to music from Bellarosa

We wanted a live string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour and our wedding planner recommended Bellarosa for our intimate May wedding in Napa. They were spectacular! Our only true regret from the wedding day was that we (the couple) wished to hear them play more (we took sunset photos during the cocktail hour)! Ivy and her team were very communicative, talented, and accommodating. Bellarosa had a wide variety of classical and modern music and we had trouble choosing our favorites. On top of that, we fell in love with the string version of Beyoncé’s Ave Maria. At our request, Bellarosa arranged the piece for our processional and also performed a cello solo for my walk down the aisle. If you would like musicians at your wedding celebration, we cannot recommend Bellarosa enough!

We love Bellarosa!

My husband and I had a small wedding at San Francisco City Hall in the spring, and hiring the Bellarosa String Quartet was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Ivy was an absolute pleasure to work with—so kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process.

We had a few special requests, including the Jurassic Park theme for our processional, and Ivy was more than happy to bring our quirky vision to life. Her openness and enthusiasm made everything feel even more personal and special.

On the day of, the music was nothing short of magical. Ivy Zenobi on violin and Amy Leung on cello created the perfect soundtrack to our ceremony. Their performance added such elegance, emotion, and a sense of grandeur to our intimate setting—it truly elevated the entire experience and made it feel like a scene from a movie.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the music was, and we’ll treasure the memory forever. We wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to work with Bellarosa again and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to make their day feel extraordinary.

SF City Hall Wedding

Ivy and Amy were wonderful musicians!

The experience pre-wedding was smooth, and they were very professional and communicative. During the wedding, they were very flexible and read the room well - even when the ceremony got delayed, they knew how to seamlessly adapt!

The Highlight of Our Ceremony!

My husband and I are so incredibly grateful for how smooth and easy planning was with Bellarosa Strings. Their communication was incredibly professional, prompt, and friendly, which made that part of our planning fun and stress-free. :) I loved how many contemporary song options they offered as well. The performance itself was more beautiful than we could have hoped for, and truly made our SF City Hall ceremony extra special for us and our guests. I have already recommended them to a few of my friends!
