Lily Press, harp & Simon Linn-Gerstein, cello

e is so responsive, organized, detail oriented and provides such thoughtful guidance and clarity around music choices and song recommendations. Their repertoire was truly amazing, from classical music options, beautiful pop songs, and even to cinematic and gaming favorites - we truly had so many songs to choose from to best capture our love story and individual personalities. On the day of our wedding, their beautiful music filled the summer air, and was an absolute highlight for our guests. My only regret is not being able to just sit and listen to them play for longer :) We highly recommend working with Lily and Simon if you want to bring a touch of tasteful, brilliant harp and cello music to delight your guests, no matter your event.

ay for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the very start of this process, Lily & Simon have gone above and beyond to help make our wedding day special. Their organization, professionalism, and talent made this part of our wedding planning process (a generally stressful time) feel so effortless and happy. They were always quick to respond and communicated with us so well that we always felt we were in good hands (not to mention it has been SUCH a joy to talk to them). Lily & Simon were truly one of the few wedding vendors we had that I NEVER had a single worry or hesitation about and I cannot recommend them enough. Their beautiful music helped shape our whole ceremony and the custom composition they composed for us (ABBA’s “I Have A Dream”), which we used for our recessional, had everyone in happy tears. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their beautiful playing as much as we did and we will always remember what an amazing experience we had with them. Lily & Simon - thank you SO much!!!

music we wanted for the different parts of wedding. This, in turn, gave them plenty to work on to fill the cocktail hour and prelude part before the ceremony. The duo were super calm and understanding on our wedding day too. It happened to rain on our wedding day. In Temecula, CA. In September. That was literally the last concern I had for that day. Lily and Simon were totally understanding and flexible and moved inside the house to continue playing and never questioned whether they would stay or not. That was a HUGE relief! Lily and Simon coordinated their outfits to complement the wedding party, and they were prepared with all the speakers and cords they needed. Their playing was ethereal and so beautiful--every wedding guest felt the exact same way about the music and quality of sound. I love harp, and my husband loves cello, so that was another plus for booking this duo. They were also just the most kind and caring people and showed real concern for us and wanting to help however they could when they saw me and my husband on the verge of breaking down over the weather, lol. The wedding party thought they were such sweet and kind vendors. A coworker had recommended these to two to me, and I'm so glad he did. Cannot recommend Lily and Simon enough! Sorry this review is long overdue.

d 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.
