"Wow! It is really hard to put into words how absolutely incredible Celeste and her pianist are! From personality to communication to professionalism. They both have a talent that is so adored! Myself (the bride) and the 30 people at my wedding in Positano were blown away by their performance. Celeste has the voice of an angel and I knew the moment I heard her in her video that I had to have her perform at my wedding. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our special day that much more special! All of us want to fly you to the States to perform again!! Much love!! I would recommend them EVERY SINGLE TIME!"
