With over 25 years of experience as a wedding ceremony and event musician on the flute and cello, my team and I will bring the elegance and romance of live music to one of the most important days of your life. Choose from a large repertoire of classical hits to your favorite pop and rock songs. I can also create custom arrangements of any songs not currently in our repertoire. Professional musician amplification is included, if needed, for the best sound for your wedding or event.
Christen is an absolute gem, on all levels. From my initial connection with her, she provided a clear and thorough proposal, which turned into a well thought out set list for the evening of our event. Christen's communication throughout the process was timely and clear, and I know exactly what to expect on the day of my event. There will many many compliments from my guests about the range of music that Christen played (well known songs including musical scores), and her skill with her flute playing was top notch. Absolutely would bring Christen into any future event that I am involved in. I could not have been happier with her music, and to top it off, Christen is a kind, personable, and lovely human being overall. Highly highly recommend her to anyone!
Response from Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens:
Thank you for this beautiful review, Lauren! It was such a memorable evening, and I was thrilled to be a part of it. The movie scores and contemporary music was the perfect fit for the event, and so enjoyable to play. It was lovely working with you from start to finish!
Christen and Brighton were incredible and professional at our giant party! Super flexible and easy to get along with as well. They sounded amazing and are great musicians. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Kelly! We had a fantastic time performing at your party, and we're so glad you enjoyed the music. It was wonderful working with you and being a part of this special event!
Christen was so helpful in planning a special Celebration of life service for our family. She was thoughtful, responsive, and a great communicator.
Response from Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens:
