Beautiful wedding ceremony

It was so easy working with Jill! She has a long and diverse list of music to choose from and everything came together so seamlessly. Our ceremony turned out beautifully thanks to Jill and her team! She also has the best pricing in Columbus.

Absolutely THE best!!!!!

Jill was very good at communicating, even with changes I would make based off of my indecisiveness! The music was absolutely beautiful and many of my guests talked about how even more emotional it had made my ceremony, just by listening to them perform. My only regret is not having them there the whole night for the reception as well! They were the best part of my ceremony other than my husband!

Would definitely recommend!

Jill was amazing to work with and always very communicative! She sent a two musicians for my wedding ceremony, one played violin and the other, a cello. Everyone complemented the music and I thought it added such a nice touch to our ceremony! Leading up to the event Jill was very open to any song suggestions but she already has a ton on her list to choose from. Overall, I would definitely recommend her to anybody!
