10/10 perfect!

About a month before our wedding, we decided that we wanted to have some sort of live music for our ceremony. We were very lucky to find Roy and even luckier that he was available! From our first call, it was apparent that Roy was a consummate professional. He was very helpful in guiding us toward song choices that fit our tastes and his repertoire is very impressive. Roy’s repertoire includes both classical pieces as well as more contemporary songs, so we had a lot of options to choose from. Roy made the entire process simple for us, which was very much appreciated given our last minute change. Once we had decided on music, the rest of the process was a breeze. The prelude and ceremony music was gorgeous and provided a lovely atmosphere as our guests were getting seated and our wedding party was walking down the aisle. All our guests complimented the beautiful cello that perfected the vibe of our garden ceremony. If given the choice to do it all over again, we would absolutely choose Roy. He was professional, responsive, and an all around joy to work with. On top of everything else, he fit well within our budget. 10/10. Roy is the best!

Best cello music!!

We hired Roy Harran to play at our daughter's wedding at a vineyard in Georgia. He was not only responsive and willing to travel to the venue in N GA but stayed longer to play when things ran behind a bit. He played the most beautiful music before and after the ceremony but also played a mix of contemporary and traditional music during the cocktail hour. He has a huge repertoire of music to select. This was one of the best decisions we made for her wedding. Everyone loved the music. He is one of the best cellists and you won't be sorry if you hire him. He really made the wedding special!! Thank you Roy!

Roy is the absolute BEST!

Roy was absolutely amazing to work with and truly elevated our wedding ceremony. From the start, he was incredibly responsive, helpful and professional, making the whole process easy and stress-free. His playing was beautiful and emotional - exactly what we were hoping for - and we had multiple guests come up to us afterward to say how talented he was and how having a cellist added such a special touch to the day. We couldn’t be happier with his service and would highly recommend Roy to any couple looking to make their ceremony feel extra meaningful and memorable.

Ceremony Music

Going into planning our wedding, we knew live music at our wedding was a non negotiable. After finding Roy & hearing his music we were sold. Not only is Roy an incredibly talented musician, he is also a true professional. From beginning to end, planning our ceremony and cocktail music was stress free. We never had to worry!! Multiple guests commented about the level of drama/emotion that having a cello added and we couldn’t agree more. 5 stars just isn’t enough!
Thanks again Roy!

Beautiful music for a beautiful event

My daughter was married at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on October 5th. It was a small, intimate ceremony with only about 30 people in attendance. We wanted music that would fit the venue and the setting and having Roy there was the perfect touch. He plays so beautifully and was so wonderful to work with. We would recommend him over and over. He made her special day even more beautiful. Thank you Roy for helping to make Emily's special day so memorable.
