The Wellspring

I just got married over this past weekend, and I can not recommend Celestial Strings enough! They are truly amazing, talented, and beautiful people. We got so many compliments from our guests, and they truly set the tone for our big special day. We would love to have them again and are thrilled that we chose them.

Perfect for our wedding day

We booked the harp, violin, and flute trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Roseann and her team were extremely professional and provided very helpful music consulting services prior to our wedding. Celestial Strings has a very extensive list of music options: classical, traditional, pop, etc. Celestial Strings really added to the ambiance of our ceremony and set the tone - I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for live musicians during their wedding.

Incredibly Stunning. So Many Compliments!

Our wedding guests ABSOLUTELY loved the music at our ceremony. It was really easy to work with Roseann! Celestial Strings already had a good array of music to select from that they knew really well, but they did an outstanding job with our special songs we requested too. We had some Lion King, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, and a few other solid nerd songs incorporated with a few classic songs. Thank you so much for making our day extra special! We are so happy we decided to upgrade to the quartet! Seriously, it is completely worth the money!

So Many Compliments

Our wedding was small and quick, maybe 4 hours because we were going on our honeymoon the next day.
But I loved this group, we had the harp, violin and flute. Roseanne was so sweet, she welcomed us into her home twice to have a music listening with other couples. Some of my favorite love songs sound amazing with these instruments and every single person came up to us and said the music was wonderful and made our wedding very nice. Celestial Strings even learned some songs I wanted to be played, even though know so many. I can't say how easy they were to deal with, which made my life in turn so much easier. They were on time, professional. I got married at the shaker heights country club 09/20/2019 and in the women's locker room where I was getting ready, I could hear the music I had picked for my ceremony begin to play. I'll never forget how I felt, excited, nervous "I can't believe this is happening" feeling knowing I was about to walk down the aisle. If I could go back in time and do it all over again, I would have my wedding done the exact same way, especially by picking Celestial Strings. Thank you so much!

The perfect touch to our wedding day!

My husband knew of Celestial Strings from a wedding he went to a few years back. We discussed if it would be worth it to have strings during the ceremony or if we should just go with a DJ. I'm SO GLAD we decided on Celestial Strings for our ceremony! We had a harp and violin playing for guests when they walked in and everyone talked about how magical it was! I had the pleasure of talking with Roseann to go over each detail to make sure everything would be just right. She was so patient and offered wonderful suggestions to help me with my indecisiveness. We ended up having her play Disney music before the ceremony started and a few other songs throughout the ceremony. It was a wonderful and elegant touch to our wedding. If your not sure whether to spend the extra money to have string instruments at your wedding, I promise you will not regret this investment! We got so many compliments on how classy it was and how it filled the atmosphere with happiness. On top of that, Roseann and her team are so easy to work with and talk to. They answered every question I had and were available when I needed them. Thank you Celestial Strings!

Beautiful addition to a beautiful day

Given we were getting married in a beautiful church, we wanted to splurge on something that would make it extra special. Roseann and her team made this very easy. They are true professionals who can be trusted to handle everything. I only wish I could have heard them more! (My ear to the door didn’t do them justice). We had the harp/violin/flute trio, and it was truly beautiful.

Roseann was wonderful from the planning stage to the performance. She is truly a professional. Many of our guests complimented the music in our daughter's wedding, making the ceremony even more special. She delivered exactly the feel and setting we were looking for. Well worth it!

Roseann was my calming force while preparing for my daughters Wedding! I kept telling her how I wished she could be my Planner:) Music was the most important part of the Wedding for Abby and she spent so much time with me and everything she recommended was so beautiful and set the exact mood we hoped for. Roseann and her colleagues are so lovely, they all have a wonderful sense of humor, and are brilliant Musicians. She truly enhanced our Wedding and you leave as a friend:)
