    Outstanding!

    Ben is the definition of professionalism. It was clear that his number one priority was to make me happy with the final product, which I appreciated very much. Great communication throughout the process and and even better final product! I would 100% recommend Ben to anyone looking for a live musician for their event!

    Ben and his affiliated musicians were amazing to work with for my daughter's wedding. Ben coordinates with various musicians so you can get the combination of instruments you desire, which was important as we had trouble finding a duo of cellists. Ben meets with the couple to understand their vision, make recommendations, and handle all of the planning. He communicated in an incredibly thorough and responsive manner and followed through on every point, which is such a relief when you are handling the many details of a wedding!

    In addition to a wide variety of prepared music, Ben offers the unique service of composing arrangements for any specific song that you desire, for a modest added fee. This allowed my daughter to put together the eclectic mix of music that perfectly captured the personality of their wedding.

    The two cellists arrived promptly at the appointed time and were pleasant, prepared, and professional. The quality of their music was exceptional and made the ceremony and reception so lovely and memorable.

    Our wedding budget was modest, so we weren't sure that live musicians were within reach. This group of musicians was more affordable than others we found, yet the caliber of their planning was absolutely top notch. In the end, we were so glad we hired these musicians as they really made the whole day more special.

    Ben was so flexible, accommodating and understanding of our needs during the booking process, it was really easy to arrange all this. the day of we had exactly what we asked for, we didn't even realize what was going on while they were setting up and getting ready, and we enjoyed their music and flexibility very much. our guests loved the music and they all said the musicians were amazing. thank you Ben for everything!!

    We were so impressed with Ben when he put the music together for our wedding this past spring. We had some very specific requests with a mix of traditional and modern selections, which he was able to weave together seamlessly. Music is very important to me and my husband, and since Ben did the arrangements himself, it allowed for a lot of flexibility and customization. He is very reasonably priced, and was responsive over both phone and email whenever we had questions or wanted input. He was also able to send samples of our songs before the wedding so we could get an idea of what they would sound like and let him know if we wanted anything changed. Everything was beautiful and we had so many compliments about the music; my only regret is that I didn't record it! Ben is a true professional and we would love the opportunity to work with him again!

    Ben did an amazing job at our wedding. He was extremely responsive. Always returned calls and emails in a timely manner. He arranged 2 modern songs just for us and emailed us the recordings ahead of time so we could ok them and use them for the rehearsal. We also used him for a cocktail party the night before the wedding and did an amazing job. We thoughly enjoyed working with Ben and would hire him again!

    Ben Siems held together the music for the ceremony wonderfully. He put in his heart and time. And he also put together a band for the Chase's restaurant, which our wedding guests migrated up to after our DJ music ended. The band was very fun and classy.
