WOW is all I can say! Celestial Strings takes your wedding ceremony to the next level. The amount of compliments I received after the wedding about them was amazing! They really enhance your ceremony with amazing music. I hired the quartet which was the best decision! Roseann was amazing helping me pick out the right music for my taste, and was very professional. I highly recommend them!

Roseann & her amazingly talented musicians were absolutely fantastic at out daughter's wedding! Truly made the ceremony extra special! She provides a listening at her home prior to the wedding. That was hours of glorious music & helped us select & solidify all the music. Her quartet elevated the ceremony with their beautiful music! Celestial Strings is a MUST for your wedding!

Celestial Strings saved my wedding! I had to pivot my ceremony music a week before my wedding and Roseann was an absolute godsend. She pulled together a team of musicians to play live for me in her home in a matter of days and helped me pick all of our ceremony songs (which I was really stuck on). They played beautifully on our wedding day and made our ceremony that much more special. They are a trusted partner for Sapphire Creek (and many other venues) for good reason.

Working with Celestial Strings was a truly magical experience. Not only is Roseann incredibly skilled, creative, and accommodating, but she also makes the planning process so fun and special. Attending the listening sessions will always be one of my favorite memories with my husband from planning our wedding. Roseann and her team are passionate, enthusiastic, and caring — they were so dedicated to helping us try out our ideas to find the perfect songs and arrangements for our wedding ceremony.
Their performance at our ceremony was incredibly beautiful. The music conveyed so much emotion. It was so impactful and deepened the experience for us and the guests alike. We received numerous compliments from guests, and it played a huge part in making the ceremony one of the best parts of the day. I also really appreciated that Roseann worked with us to plan the timing of the music in a way that enhanced the feeling of celebration and excitement as we exited at the end.
If you're considering string music for your wedding, I cannot recommend Celestial Strings enough!

We booked the harp, violin, and flute trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Roseann and her team were extremely professional and provided very helpful music consulting services prior to our wedding. Celestial Strings has a very extensive list of music options: classical, traditional, pop, etc. Celestial Strings really added to the ambiance of our ceremony and set the tone - I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for live musicians during their wedding.

Roseann truly loves what she does and it shows. Her ensemble played for my daughter's wedding ceremony and the guest were in awe of the how amazingly beautiful and moving her and her musicians music was. They are adept at playing anything that lends itself to harp, string instruments and flute. She helps guide her brides to the perfect music for their ceremony with her years of wedding music knowledge. She is a tremendous asset to any wedding!

After booking my venue, live strings music was very high on my priority list. Celestial Strings was mentioned as one of the best on multiple websites and wedding reviews for Cleveland. Roseann was very responsive and easy to contact. She is very organized with her repertoire list and options. There are samples on her website and she hosts in-person listening parties to get an idea of their sound. I was concerned that the sound would not be loud enough in our large venue and was grateful to learn they had already performed at my venue before and were very familiar with the acoustics.

Celestial Strings was my favorite part of our wedding. Their music was the perfect background to our ceremony and reception. The ladies were lovely to work with. Their song selection is extensive and they are even willing to learn songs upon request. I told them what song I was hoping for the day before our ceremony. She said that she did not know the song but that they would learn it and play it. They learned the song overnight for me and played the most incredible version of that song I have ever heard! Our guests all commented on how great this group was. We highly recommend them for any event. They are very talented and we could not have made a better choice for our wedding.

We had the amazing trio (harp, violin & flute) of Celestial Strings at our daughter’s wedding ceremony, a Catholic Mass, at St. John’s Cathedral in downtown Cleveland in May. The music was truly amazing! Roseann was even able to coordinate with our vocalist/pianist (with one phone call!) songs they would be able to play along with our vocalist. They were even able to join in on some of the traditional Catholic parts of the mass. Truly talented and professional! Our priest, who loves and appreciates music, thought the musicians were outstanding! He was very impressed, as were our guests in attendance. We received so many wonderful compliments! You will not be disappointed if Celestial Strings is part of your wedding day ceremony!

Working with Roseann Canfora of Celestial Strings was a joy, pleasure, and honor. My husband and I truly believe planning our ceremony music with Roseann was our favorite "wedding planning task!" Roseann is professional as well as personable, warm, and inviting. She coordinates and hosts "listening events" in her home to help guide couples select beautiful, enchanting music for their ceremonies. Roseann worked with us so well, as well as our music director to coordinate a truly spectacular Catholic mass. Roseann and the violinist learned and practiced a beautiful Italian song that I wanted to use as my bridal entrance as it was a special song to my beloved Nonna. I could not be more thrilled with the entire experience working with Celestial Strings. Our guests truly thought our mass was breathtaking. Thank you Roseann for a spectacular experience. God Bless, A&N.

Roseann is such a fun person to talk too, you can tell right away that she loves what she does! We had her play the harp along with her violinist at our wedding ceremony, they did such a beautiful job and created the perfect setting for me to walk down the aisle!! It was exactly what I envisioned and I couldn't ask for anything else! She offered some suggestions that made it even better! Thank you for the beautiful music!

Roseann is such a fun person!
She customized my ceremony with the songs I requested, had a rehearsal with my mom (who sang at the wedding), and was very kind and patient throughout.
A wonderful way to add some zest to your wedding.

We had Roseann play the harp along with a violinist for our ceremony music. They did such an amazing job! So beautiful, the music was perfect. Roseann was very easy to work with and provided great feedback for us on song selections we couldn't decide on.

Celestial Strings was a vital part of making our ceremony atmosphere the way we envisioned it! We heard nothing but wonderful things about them from our guests at the wedding. The musicians stayed in contact with us up until the day and were super flexible about our requests and made everything happen. They are total pros!

We loved having Roseann play during our outdoor ceremony. We only wanted a single harpist, but she also plays with a violinist as a duo (called "Celestial Strings"). The harp alone was beautiful.
