The Wedding Music of My Dreams!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christen and her string quartet! From the very first conversation, Christen’s responsiveness, communication, creativity, and kindness stood out. It was such a joy stepping into her world and feeling her passion for music as we planned the ceremony and cocktail hour music for my wedding day.

The quartet was timely, looked amazing, and played some of the most ethereal music I’ve ever heard. As the bride, my only regret was not being able to listen to every single song they played! A particularly special moment was receiving an MP3 recording of the song I walked down the aisle to—something I’ll treasure forever.

Having a string quartet at my wedding was always a dream of mine, and Christen brought that dream to life in the most magical way. Thank you, Christen, for making my day so unforgettable. I highly recommend her and her talented team to anyone looking for stunning live music!

An absolute dream to work with!

Christen was WONDERFUL to work with!!! For our wedding at the Arrabelle in Vail, CO we wanted a string duet - violin and cello. Christen is a preferred vendor for Vail resorts and once we reached out to her to inquire, I can see why. Her music is lovely, she was a dream to work with and guided us through the entire process. We chose to play classical before the ceremony and contemporary for the cocktail hour. Her playlist is massive!! Unfortunately there was competing music coming from a bar next door but when Christen was playing, we never heard the other music. Christen's music was the perfect touch to the scenic backdrop of Vail. I wouldn't think twice about using her again.

Christen is a talented musician AND extremely organized and responsive!

Christen was a dream to work with. She was truly one of the most responsive and organized vendors we worked with for our wedding day. She helped us put together a beautiful musical line-up and even learned a few new pieces for our Catholic ceremony to accompany our cantor. She was extremely helpful through every step of the process: from an initial consultation to answer our multiple questions to providing song lists and recommendations for each key component of the ceremony to making herself available to arrive early for set-up to even preparing an outline of the musical run of show.

And I haven't even mentioned her beautiful music yet! She's such a talented musician - playing both the flute then surprising us by jumping on the piano when she realized a particular song would sound better with that instrument. If that's not a gold standard of service, I don't know what is! If you're looking for a beautiful music backdrop for your big day and someone who thinks through every little detail to ensure the event goes off without a hitch, look no further than Christen!

Flute/Violin Duo

Christen is a phenomenal flute player, and having her and the violinist at our wedding was such a special touch. She is so kind and deeply cares about the quality of work that she provides. I highly recommend her services if you are interested in having live music at your wedding.

Amazing Experience and Performance

Christen and her team provided an exceptional performance at our wedding ceremony. They were extremely professional throughout the whole process and on our day. We had two additional song-s added that were not on her repertoire. The execution of them was beautiful and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend! Their music and performance added an element of elegance and beauty to our ceremony that was unapparelled .

Enchanted Ceremony Music!

In June 2023, we had the pleasure of working with Christen (flute and piano) for our wedding ceremony at The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs. Christen's enchanting performance added an extraordinary touch to our special day, and we are incredibly grateful.

From our first interaction, it was clear that Christen is a true professional with a deep passion for music. She was responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand our preferences. Her expertise in selecting the perfect repertoire was invaluable, and she went above and beyond to ensure every musical detail was taken care of.

Throughout the process, Christen and her pianist were professional, graceful, and a joy to work with. They seamlessly coordinated with our wedding planner and other vendors, spreading positive energy and creating a truly memorable experience.

We cannot thank Christen enough for making our dream wedding a reality. If you're looking for a flawless and enchanting musical experience for your special day, we wholeheartedly recommend Christen. Her exceptional talent, professionalism, and genuine passion will create cherished memories that last a lifetime.

Thank you, Christen, for making our wedding ceremony enchanting and magical.

Perfect music for my daughter's wedding

Christen was a pleasure to work with. She helped us select music for each part of the ceremony. Her website is very helpful. I was able to look through her repertoire and give her a good idea of what we liked. She was very responsive and reached out when she needed more information so that we stayed on track. She was very flexible. We ended up adding an hour for the cocktail hour--so worth it. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to help my son, who was singing, set up his sound equipment. Having live music at the wedding definitely elevated our experience. I would highly recommend using Christen.

Wonderful day with great music!

Christen played the flute during our ceremony at the Botanic gardens and it was magical. She was early, communicated well, and tailored the music to the style that we like. Overall great experience!

Absolutely beautiful acoustics & sound! Joy to work with!

It was a dream to walk down the aisle to the instrumentals of this live string trio. 😍 We hosted our intimate wedding ceremony and reception in the Green Solarium at the Denver Botanic Gardens - and the trio sounded absolutely amazing. Plus Christen was super easy to work with! She was super responsive and flexible when it came to planning our ceremony and reception songs. Her trio learned a new song for our processional, plus they hit the cues perfectly. I wanted our recessional song to start when we had our first kiss - and the totally nailed my magical movie kiss moment! Plus, Christen created the playlist for our cocktail hour and reception, based on our music tastes, so I didn't have to spend a long time figuring that out.

I would totally recommend going with LIVE MUSIC for your wedding - and I completely recommend Christen and her crew. :)
