Roy absolutely blew my expectations of creating the most perfect environment for my girl friend and I, as he played the cello in her backyard and serenaded her for me whilst his wife recorded it. His professionalism, responsiveness, care, and e...
xpertise were the perfect components in making our socially distanced anniversary the perfect moment. (For context, I live in Toronto and she lives in Atlanta). Thank you, Roy, (and Kelli), for making this experience unforgettable and bringing my girl friend to tears with your music of our favourite songs! Definitely recommend Roy and his services!
Roy provided the musical accompaniment for our ceremony on 11-21-20. From beginning to end, the experience was perfect. A clear planning process, superb music, and a follow-up call to make sure we were pleased...my husband and I could not have ...
asked for more. We highly recommend Roy!
We hired Roy to play our wedding and cocktail hour. BRAVO. From the beginning Roy answered any question and request very promptly and asked how he can make my vision come to life with his playing. So many people came to us during the wedding...
and after saying: that Roy’s playing is so beautiful and emotional. We were lucky to have him. A friend of mine heard him at our wedding and contacted him to see if he was free but he was already taken and booked for that day. I would hire him ASAP not to miss out. Thanks, Roy.
What an amazing cellist at our renewal! Thanks Roy for making our event extra special! Highly recommend for any event!
Roy played for our ceremony and during cocktail hour. My husband and I heard him play at bridal show and knew right away, that we wanted him at our wedding. He really helped our wedding feel like a fairy tale. After the wedding, I heard from...
so many guests about what an amazing job Roy did. He was easy to work with. He emailed me back pretty quickly and always offered times to meet on the phone. I would highly recommend Roy because he will go above and beyond for you and help make your day so special!
Roy was extremely easy to work with leading up to the wedding. He has a very extensive list of songs, and will help provide suggestions if you need them. Roy played before our ceremony while our guests were being seated, then during the ceremon...
y for the processional/recessional songs. We also had him stick around to play for our cocktail hour, and we are so glad we did! His music was absolutely beautiful, and several of our guests commented on how nice of a touch it was to have a live musician playing for those portions of our day. We would highly recommend Roy to anyone who wants gorgeous, live music for their wedding day!
I have worked with Roy on more than one event. I often refer him whenever I see that someone is looking for a cellist. He is extremely professional and his music in absolute beautiful.
I had always dreamed of walking down the aisle to live talent and Roy made that happen for me! I met Roy and his wife Kelli at at Bridal Show in Atlanta. They were offering a special - if you booked right there, it was a special on ceremony + c...
ocktail hour. I know a good deal when I see one, and I walked away and called my future husband, and we agreed to do it so I went back to the booth and booked Roy right there - and I am so happy I did! Communication was great from the beginning. Covid hit and I had to postpone my wedding by 3 months and thankfully Roy was available for my new date - Friday, 9/4/20. We were able to move the contract seamlessly. When it came time to choosing music we just filled out a Google Form and that was it! Super easy. On wedding day, Roy was fabulous and it was just the addition I was looking for. I can't wait to see my video! I highly recommend Roy, as he is super talented and everything was seamless for us!
Wow, Roy was amazing. The best ever. He understood what we were looking for and his playing made our ceremony really special. I will recommend Roy to everyone I know. You will never go wrong. Thanks Roy
Roy played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was the perfect touch to our wedding! He is so talented and sweet. He always responded timely to my emails and helped with any questions or ideas. Roy was a lovely addition and I am so glad w...

Kaylyn, thank you so much for your kind words! I loved working with you both and hope you are enjoying newlywed life!
We had a small elopement due to the covid pandemic, but it was still really important to us to incorporate music. Roy was such a lovely addition to our special day. There were a couple songs we wanted that he didn’t already have on hand and he ...
was more than happy to acquire them and add them to our repertoire. On the day of the wedding we were running about an hour behind schedule, and he rearranged his schedule to accommodate an extended playing time. I really can’t imagine somebody with more talent, flexibility, and professionalism than Roy. I highly recommend him!

Many thanks, Erin! I loved being part of your beautiful day at the Swan House and your tenacious spirit with having all of your plans changed.
Roy played at my commitment ceremony and upped the elegance factor a thousand percent. If you love the cello, Roy is your guy. Beautiful, experienced player. Leave the music to him. No regrets!!!
Roy is, hands-down, the best Cellist/musician I have ever worked with. As a musician (and classical cellist) myself, I wanted to make sure the music at our wedding was perfect. Roy went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our day special. He is not onl...
y a technically gifted musician of the HIGHEST caliber, but he is also a kind, caring, and professional person. He accommodated our many special requests and his cello playing was OUT OF THIS WORLD. He was so easy to work with and added so much class to our ceremony. We still have guests talking about what an amazing job he did! He was more than worth every penny we spent to hire him. I personally guarantee you will not be disappointed if you hire him!
We heard Roy play at a friends wedding. We had just gotten engaged. We loved him and asked for his information. From the beginning he was so easy to work with and responded promptly to everything we asked. He was even able to find a piece th...

Roy is the best. Beautiful sound and great personality. He was so easy to work with and all the guests loved him. Thanks Roy, you made our day special.
We hired Roy for our ceremony, cocktail hour and first dance. Everything went without a hitch. We were most excited about the dance because it was such a unique part of the evening. He did a rehearsal with us in advance, so we could practice da...

I hired Roy to play at my daughters wedding. I would hire him again at a heart beet. He was so helpful and easy to work with. We really don't know about wedding music but he jumped and helped us make the best decisions for our day. The guests ...
loved him and his sound was amazing at our church. Worth every penny
Roy's music made our wedding incredibly elegant. My guests felt like they were being treated to a concert before the ceremony started. We hired him for our cocktail hour, too, and are so happy we did! Book him as soon as you know your date!
Roy was so delightful to work with and extremely professional. From Day One we knew we wanted a cello soloist for our daughter's wedding and he was the perfect fit! 5 Stars!
We hired Roy for our dinner party after hearing him at a friend's wedding. It was the perfect touch! Incredibly experience that exceeded our expectations.
Still floating with happiness! Thank you, Roy, for making our wedding everything we hoped for and more! So glad we contacted you, and you were available!

Everything we hoped for and more! We had a small intimate family wedding. Roy has a beautiful sound!
Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2019
Thank you, Diane!
I’d like to begin this review by saying I have two degrees in music. So believe me when I say that Roy is absolutely wonderful and the best Cellist I’ve heard aside from greats like Yo Yo Ma. Roy has an extensive repertoire list and is willing ...
to accommodate specials requests (within reason, of course). I was actually moving closer to the ceremony site while waiting to walk down the aisle just so I could hear him. He’s so personable and an incredible musician. You cannot go wrong booking him for you wedding or event! Thank you, Roy, for giving us such gorgeous ceremony music!
Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2019

Thanks, Lena!
Working with Roy was a breeze! From the first contact he was super responsive to our requests. As we got closer to the wedding he reached out again to align, and make sure the music choices fit the vibe we were going for. After the wedding I...

Roy was fun to work with and professional! He called me right away when I sent an inquiry to describe his services and answer questions I had. I took his advice for most of the music and had one special request. He found a beautiful arrangement...

Thanks, Kristy!
Roy played for my wedding ceremony and during the cocktail hour. I loved that he learned a song for me, and wished I had walked slower to hear more of it!
Roy and his wife were wonderful to work with through the entire process - incredibly fl...

You will be so happy if you hire him!
Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2019
Thanks, Jessica! We loved working with you. Glad the kippot were a hit!
I hired Roy for our annual company Christmas party. The entertainment was top notch. He played a variety of traditional Christmas music, contemporary and classical. I hope to book him again next year!
Thank you, Roy! We were thrilled with the quality of the music. Our guests were impressed, and it added class and elegance! One of my bridesmaids already hired him.
Roy is an incredible entertainer and a professional. He was one of the best things about our wedding, and I'm so thrilled that we chose live music. Solo cello created the perfect mood, and Roy made the process easy.
Roy was very professional and accommodating, in addition to being an incredible cellist. He played while guests were being seating, for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour. For the wedding, we chose classical selections, and for the cockt...
ail hour he played more modern music, including a couple Broadway tunes we requested. His playing added such a special touch to our day!
I hired Roy for my daughter's wedding. We met him at his studio to get a better idea of what it might sound like. He was open to that request. My daughter was sold once she heard some of the modern music he could play. He is going to play at my...
office party later this year!
Thank you, Roy! I walked down the aisle "Perfect." I was so nervous, but listening to Roy play calmed me down. Initially we thought of getting a string quartet, but once we heard Roy play, we thought solo cello would be amazing. We loved your p...

Roy played the cello at our ceremony this past March and was absolutely wonderful!! He plays so beautifully and truly made our ceremony magical. We were referred to him a couple of weeks before the wedding and we are so thankful that he was ava...

We were thrilled with Roy Harran, Cellist! He played a beautiful rendition of Canon in D for my ceremony. It was a very straightforward process to book, and he was very personable throughout.
I hired Roy for our first dance, and it was magical! It was very romantic to have him play for the two of us while guests watched.
Roy has such an engaging personality! He was of the last decisions we made during our planning process, but definitely our favorite! His playing added such incredible beauty to our ceremony and elevated the feel of our cocktail hour.
Roy's playing was stellar. I hired him for my daughter's wedding. We loved him! Her friend has hired him for her upcoming wedding, too.
