  Lily & Simon are the Best of the Best!

  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.

  Cannot recommend them enough!

  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.

  Still talking about them!

  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.

  Elwin and Florence Wedding 💍

  Lily played at my wedding on Dec 8, and it was beautiful! She made our ceremony special, she was very helpful by in providing a playlist that had our favorite songs. 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. I highly recommend Lily Press.
  Thanks you so much ❤❤

  X-lent! Highly recommend.

  Absolutely beautiful! Lily and Simon played for my daughter's wedding. Total surprise for my new son n law and our guest. Heard nothing but great compliments from everyone. They composed my song to my daughter which unexpectedly overwhelmed me to bawl like a baby. Everything was perfect. I very highly recommend.

  I can't recommend Simon more strongly! He played cello for our wedding ceremony. Not only was the music absolutely beautiful, but Simon was also wonderful to work with. When met with him the first time, he played several pieces based on what we said we liked, and helped us figure out what music we wanted for each part of the ceremony. We couldn't decide on a recessional at the time, and when we found a song we liked several weeks later he learned it for us. He also got in touch with our officiant on his own to arrange cues, etc. The music was wonderful. We're so glad he was part of our ceremony!

  Simon stepped in after the cellist we originally hired broke her arm. We contacted him with weeks to our wedding, and he was professional, responsive, and totally open to our thoughts and questions. He even played one of our selections for us via Skype! During the wedding, he played beautifully and really set the tone for the ceremony. We'd highly recommend Simon!
