I absolutely loved having Pastor Bill play the harp at my wedding ceremony. He was cordial and caring throughout all interactions I had with him, from our initial consultation phone call to the day of. He was on time and prepared and had thought out all the logistics of transporting his incredible harps! He played every song I requested and even learned a song I requested! His playing was beautiful and exactly what I envisioned for my wedding. I would hire him again in a heartbeat for any event. Thank you so much Pastor Bill!

Response from Celestial Strings and Ceremonies Harpist:
Ann and Christian, thank you for your kind words and great review. Your heartfelt words mean the world to me. They also help my potential clients know that they can trust me. You are such a lovely couple, and God smiled on you with perfect weather for your wedding at the stunning home beside the water in Berkley Hall. Susan and I are so happy for both of you. May the Lord bless you with "every good and perfect gift from above." Bill & Susan
Bill went far above and beyond our expectations! He was very communicative after booking and asked what types of songs we wanted played at our event. He arrived early to set up and was wonderful all evening! He made my mother's birthday party such a memorable event!

Thank you, Linda, it was such a pleasure to play the harp for your mother's birthday. Joan is a dear Christian woman, and I was inspired to hear of her years of service to her family and to the Lord through her church and community. God bless you. Pastor Bill

Reverand Bill responded to our request for a harpist to play at our intimate wedding at a beautiful Inn. He took the time to create an array of Celtic , Italian and contemporary music according to our wishes. His talent and presentation was magical. We will cherish this day forever. Rev. Bill will be recommended to all our friends and family. We look forward to enjoying the sound of heavenly music played by Rev. Bill at our next event. Just beautiful. Thank you…..

Kristen, thank you for your kind words and favorable review. It was an honor to provide harp music for your grandmother's service. She was blessed with 101 years and a great family. I love Cuban food and it sounds like she delighted in taking good care of her family. Peace and comfort be with you through Jesus who is the Resurrection and the Life.

Thank you Maureen. It was a joy for me to praise the Lord with harp for the Thanksgiving dinner at the Convent in Savannah. It was wonderful to meet you and Pastor Jim and the Sisters of Mercy. God bless you and the family of Christ for whom you care.

Music sets the tone and mood for the marriage ceremony. And Pastor Bill certainly did justice to our daughter’s wedding with a mix of classical pieces, hymns, and contemporary tunes on harp. When planning a destination wedding, communication became a priority when choosing vendors. We chose him based on his responsiveness, positive reviews, and downloadable videos that showcase his skills – brings tears, still to listen to them. Pastor Bill even learned a piece of music special to the bride and groom. His transitions were flawless. He came prepared, was pleasant, kind, dignified and worked professionally with the ceremony director and officiant. In the way of decorating we chose to let the historic Faith Chapel on Jekyll Island stand alone. But Bill’s GORGEOUS instrument was a focal point that added to the beauty of the stained glass and natural wood. If you are looking for quality and elegance for an event, I highly recommend Pastor Bill.

Pastor Bill was the perfect touch who brought my wedding vision to life with his harp skills. Loved working with him and seeing the surprise on everyone’s faces when they realized the song he was playing for the bridesmaids/groomsmen to walk out to since it was so beautifully done. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. 10/10!

Pastor Bill officiated our beach ceremony and he did a fantastic job. He creates a comfort and delivers a beautiful, professional, and spiritual ceremony adding a little bit of his own touch which was certainly welcomed and appreciated. He is very easy to work with, communication is excellent and he is a pleasure to share your day with. Hard to make a choice to hire him as an officiant or harpist, he's great at both!

I cannot say enough good things. Pastor Jim played beautifully for a full two hours, and the 80+ people who attended our "Taste of Chocolate" event, raved about the harp music. We will definitely hire him again for future events or perhaps a concert featuring his talent!

Thank you so much, Randy. It was a pleasure to play the lovely music of Christmas on my harp for the residents and guests at Princeton Village. It was inspiring to see the wonderful way that you and your wife model servant leadership in your great retirement and assisted living community. God bless you.

Absolutely amazing :-) the piano and harp together you're breathtaking and absolutely spectacular during their solos. Extremely versatile performers tailored the Beautiful music to our every need. And this included our dog as the ring bearer coming down the aisle :-) they were able to make it classically beautiful and fun the same time. All I can say is thank you and anyone would be blessed to have them for any event :-)

I asked Rev. Reister to provide music at a private dinner with friends for my husband's 65th birthday gathering at The River Club. He arrived early, was impeccably dressed; played beautifully and non stop and even stayed late when our evening ran longer than expected. My husband is of Russian and German descent and we recently traveled to Vienna. I asked Rev. Bill to incorporate music from those areas into his playlist and he did so seamlessly. He is a talented musician and a top notch profesdional. I recommend him to anyone desiring to add an elegant touch to their event.

Celestial Strings provided an outstanding performance, exceeding all expectations with minimal direction on the day of the ceremony. Communication leading to the event was excellent so that Bill integrated seamlessly in to the wedding. He arrived well ahead of time and delivered everything he promised. I would definitely seek him out for any future events requiring a harpist and recommend him to anyone. He bent over backwards to ensure customer satisfaction.

Influences & Inspiration
The music of many harpist historical and contemporary have influenced me playing as a harpist. Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan is my favorite harpist from antiquity. The music of contemporary harpists William Mahan, Sharon Thormalen, Rojean Loucks, Kim Robertson, Sunita Staneslow, Sylva Woods, Ray Pool and many others provide me with a rich variety for my performances.
