Make Your Wedding Memorable

A personal message from Roseann Canfora . . .

Ask any friend or family member about a wedding they’ve attended recently, and they aren’t likely to remember as many details about the flowers, the table decorations, the wedding favors, or even the wedding dress as they are to remember details of the things that affect them personally—the food and the music. It never ceases to amaze me how many of my brides call me after the wedding (even from their honeymoons) to tell me how many of their guests commented after the wedding about the music or who sent thank you messages to the bride for providing such beautiful music for them.

Don’t just Select Music--Create Moods for Every Moment!

Listen Live to Select the Right Instruments

It's absolutely necessary to see and hear your musicians before you book them, but until you have a chance to hear us play at a wedding, a bridal event, or at one of our bi-monthly "Champagne Listening Events" in my home, where you can hear the instruments live and make a thoughtful decision about which package fits your needs and style.

Listen not only to the samples selected from our song list but also to the mood created by the different instruments and the combination of those instruments. Both the Harp with Flute and the Harp with Violin are beautiful duo’s, but adding both instruments in the Celestial Strings Trio gives you the “best of both worlds” and significantly enhances the depth, breadth, and variety of sound, as the two melody instruments harmonize and accent one another.
