    lovely, pleasant accompaniment

    I hired Christen for my daughter's wedding. The entire experience was professional, communication was clear and the performance was just fantastic.

    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.

Their music and performance added an element of elegance and beauty to our ceremony that was unapparelled .

    Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens's reply:

    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.

    Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens's reply:

    Thank you so much for your sweet and heartfelt review, Alecxis! It was a joy to work with you in the planning process, and my pianist and I were absolutely delighted to play the fun and romantic music that you selected for your wedding day. I’m so glad to hear that our music made your special day even more memorable, and that my passion for creating beautiful music shone through. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!

    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!

    Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens's reply:

    Cassi, it was such a pleasure playing my flute for your wedding celebration! I am honored to have been a part of your special day and thrilled to hear that I was able to create a magical experience for your special day. Thank you so much for leaving this kind review!

    Christen was very easy to work with and coordinate with

    Christen was a delight to work with!

    She did a few video calls with us during Covid as we were destination wedding to Aspen. Her website gave some good samples and she picked up a song we requested to learn to help make the moment special. We picked up a song list and she delivered!

    Her music created a special backdrop to our wedding, and I can't wait to rehear her during our wedding video. :)

    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. :)

    Truly Special Touch

    Christen and her trio were lovely. They just performed at our wedding this past weekend, and having a live orchestra at our ceremony and cocktail hour added an extra touch for us that we thought was well worth it!

    It was an absolute pleasure working with her leading up to our wedding; she was very prepared and did a great job at playing the type of modern style that we love!

    Our guests had such great things to say about them and we would 100% recommend her to all of you!

    Perfect Music for our Ceremony & Cocktail Hour

    We were so thrilled Christen and her team were available for our wedding. She was a joy to work with, was on top of everything and made me feel like this was one major item I could check off my list and not have to worry. Extremely professional and helpful when we weren’t sure which choice of music we wanted to go with. I would choose her 100x over.

    Booking from out of State, can be worrisome. I felt complete ease with this group, and boy did they deliver !

    The perfect garden wedding music!

    Thanks so much to Christen and her trio for their wonderful performance at my daughter's wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens in August. We couldn't be happier. They learned the music we requested (so much Star Wars!) as well as pop and big band hits. We received so many compliments from guests and the other vendors. It was the perfect musical accompaniment to the garden wedding and reception. We couldn't have asked for more.

    The perfect touch to our wedding day

    Christen & Brightin with Flutes & Strings were the perfect touch to our mountain wedding! From the time I started working with Christen to the days after our wedding her communication, organization, kindness and ability to answer any and all questions was flawless. I asked her to learn some additional songs for our wedding day, and although I’m sure it wasn’t an easy task, she played the songs as if they were part of her repertoire. One of my most favorite memories will be hearing the sound of the violin and cello right before I walked down the aisle. There is no doubt in my mind that I will work with her again in future and forever follow along with her extremely talented musical journey.

    Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens's reply:

    It was so lovely working with you Jessica, and I enjoyed the opportunity to arrange and learn a few of your favorite songs! We're so glad to have been a part of your wedding celebration!

    Microwedding music 🎶

    Christen was amazing. Very professional and brought an elegant vibe to our microwedding. She was easy to work with, fun, and laid back. She was able to help plan our music so it fit our styles perfectly. If you are unsure who to utilize for your wedding Christen is an easy choice. Affordable, efficient, and she knows how to elevate any event!

    Magical Touch for our Wedding Ceremony

    Christen and Alex provided flute and strings music for our wedding ceremony and it was wonderful. Christen was extremely responsive from the first time we reached out and worked with us to pick our perfect list of songs. It added a truly magical touch to our wedding ceremony and I highly recommend.

    Perfection!

    Christen was one of the first vendors we contacted when we started the wedding planning process. I had stumbled on her website and found myself getting teary-eyed listening to samples on her website while imagining myself, in my dress, on my wedding day, walking down to the aisle to the music. I immediately messaged her and booked the date!

    Christen was so easy to work with- very fast responses, organized, professional and an overall lovely human. She even learned two special songs for us! One song was my parents song, which I walked down the aisle to (they were so moved with this selection), and the other was symbolic for my husband and his service in the military, and that song was our recessional (my husband was so surprised and moved). I didn't have any time to talk with Christen, or her violinist colleague, Brightin, on our wedding day itself (I had no idea how busy I would be that day!), but everything went perfectly as planned and their music was loved by all of the guests. We had several guests comment on how much they enjoyed the more modern music we selected and how the music really created and upbeat and positive energy for the ceremony.

    I strongly recommend Christen to any couple planning their wedding! She is a real professional, a talented musician and a kind person!

    Aural beauty

    Christen brought her musical beauty to our wedding in Breckenridge Colorado in July 2021, and I am so glad we selected her and her colleague. She played during the prelude and following the ceremony. In fact, the bride's mother is a music director one of the toughest critics around! - and she had high, high praise for Christen. The music was unobtrusive physically yet utterly beautiful aurally - and really made the event feel extra special. Thank you so much - Brad and Krista

    Thank you for the wonderful review Brad! We loved being a musical part of your wedding day, and it's always such a pleasure to meet fellow musicians and people who appreciate music so much!

    Amazing and beautiful!

    Christen and her string quartet played recently at our July wedding in Breckenridge and it was absolutely beautiful! She was able to learn a couple of specific songs for us and was so easy to work with! Our guests really loved the mix of contemporary quartet music as well. We are so thankful Christen and her group were part of our day!

    Best Live Wedding Music of All Time

    We were so incredibly fortunate to have Christen and her flutist and strings trio to play for our wedding recently at the Beaver Creek Chapel.

    In the weeks leading up to our big day, Christen was incredibly supportive of my wife and I's decisions in terms of tailoring our dream playlist. They could not have set a better mood in the chapel that day, and there were tears of joy a'plenty.

    Thank you so much to Christen Wedding Music and co. for their amazing work! Would definitely recommend to a friend, family, or stranger.

    Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens's reply:

    Thank you so much Harry! What an absolutely beautiful celebration you two had, and we were so glad to be a musical part of it! Your wedding ceremony was awesome, and there were a few happy tears on our end as well.

    Amazing musical team!

    Christen Stephens and her musicians were incredible! My bride wanted a very specific video game song played as she walked down the aisle and Christen's team pulled it off perfectly! They also did a great job with general contemporary music played on classical instruments, and create a great, classy, yet fun, atmosphere during the pre-ceremony time, and cocktail hour! She was always professional and very easy to work with! Highly recommended!

    Absolutely Beautiful

    I can’t emphasize enough how much we enjoyed working with Christen as well as hearing her and the rest of the quartet at our wedding! Christen is super professional and also very flexible. We were able to have a quartet of two flautists, a cellist, and a violist and with the music we picked, it sounded absolutely magical. We used most of their repertoire list but Christen also was able to play a few extra pieces for us that weren’t, some from operas and some from movies that my husband and I have enjoyed watching together during our relationship. You will not regret hiring these wonderfully talented musicians. Thank you again Christen!

    Flutes and Strings by Christen

    Christen and her accompanist were absolutely amazing. My husband and I can’t say enough about them! We had them for our intimate wedding in September and she was so amazing to work with. As are most things in 2020, this was always a dream of mine to have a harp at my wedding but it was a last minute decision as we were trying to be COVID conscious. Christen was phenomenal. She was flexible, she learned the songs we had our heart set on and she helped us come up with a wonderful ceremony and cocktail play list. Truly my one regret from our wedding is not sitting down for a few more minutes to just enjoy the beautiful music. I hope to work with Christen again and would 100% recommend her to any friends or family looking to add that special touch to their event. Thank you for helping to make 2020 so memorable for us!

    Amazing and so wonderful to work with

    Christen and her team were nothing short of amazing! Leading up to my wedding, we were in constant contact and had so much fun with our love of music. I would bounce ideas off of her and she would get back to me almost instantaneously. She is so much fun to work with and is an amazing musician. Alex and Anna accompanied her and they were so talented as well. She was able to organize playing several really special songs for my wedding. Not only amazing musicians but also so very kind.

    Magical String Quartet!

    Christen made our wedding so magical, all of our guests raved about the string quartet! Regardless of changing the date, then venue, Christen was so helpful and flexible through the changes and made everything so easy! I would highly recommend her and her artists for any event, it made the evening so elegant.
