We had the privilege of working with Lily and Simon for our microwedding at the Santa Barbara courthouse at the end of June 2025. We primarily worked with Lily in the months leading up to our wedding - she is so responsive, organized, detail oriented and provides such thoughtful guidance and clarity around music choices and song recommendations. Their repertoire was truly amazing, from classical music options, beautiful pop songs, and even to cinematic and gaming favorites - we truly had so many songs to choose from to best capture our love story and individual personalities. On the day of our wedding, their beautiful music filled the summer air, and was an absolute highlight for our guests. My only regret is not being able to just sit and listen to them play for longer :) We highly recommend working with Lily and Simon if you want to bring a touch of tasteful, brilliant harp and cello music to delight your guests, no matter your event.

Oh what can I say about Lily and Simon! They were not only so intuitive and supportive to the vision I had, but they went above and beyond to provide our wedding with such beautiful ambiance it took my breath away. They made our ceremony so much more exceptional, and really lended that ethereal feel I was looking for! If you are looking for a team who can really see your vision through, I would recommend them 1000%!

Lily Press and Simon Linn-Gerstein are truly REMARKABLE. We hired them to play the harp and cello at our wedding 2 weeks ago at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside and we could not be more pleased. Lily is A DREAM to work with - she is thoughtful, detail-oriented and so talented. All of her email correspondence were well articulated and prepared, the phone conversations we had with her were a delight, she is thorough and always prepared and organized. Lily and Simon provided us with a complementary song list to choose from, filling in the blanks for us along the way, when we needed help, and even created a custom song ("Simply the best") for our Ceremony! We LOVED it. In addition to all of this, we appreciated the small details - Lily went as far as to ask what her and Simon should wear to the event so they could be coordinated to the wedding "look" we were going for. Lily and Simon are truly the best of the best and should be your #1 choice.

Having Lily Press and Simon Linn-Gerstein play the harp and cello respectively at our wedding was the greatest gift from family. They made the cocktail hour feel regal and were an absolute delight. Their renditions of classics and pop vary greatly and are so wonderful. We are so grateful that they could be part of our wedding. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and elegant it was to have the harp and cello played during that time. I cannot praise or recommend this duo enough.

Elegance and so magical was what they did for our wedding. If your thinking about live instrumental look no further.

We had a small elopement but everyone in attendance was absolutely blown away by the beautiful music provided by Lily & Simon. They worked very patiently with me through the entire process. The flow of the music and timing with the preacher were perfect. I hand selected songs my groom loved and some that were a must for me. I even had a surprise custom arrangement of my groom's favorite song "Crockett's Theme" from Miami Vice. He still plays it all the time and considers it a very kind gesture. He initially requested a cello but when I heard the cello & harp combo- I couldn't imagine not having both. Selecting Lily and Simon was one of the best decisions I made for our big day and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a very special addition to any treasured event.

Lily and Simon were very professional and left guest in awe over their performance. They added the touch of magic to our special day. If was more Ethan I had dreamt of!! I would highly recommend their services! Guest continue to comment on how lovely their were and beautifuly they played.

Great communication between she and our wedding planner prior to the event and on the day of the wedding. I got many compliments as well, we loved it and my Husband can't stop talking about her work.
