Christine Orio and her cellist friend were delightful. They arrived at our wedding ahead of time and played exceptional Celtic music. At the entrance song they played Gabriel’s Oboe beautifully and then a great lively tune for our recession.
Response from Christine Orio:
Thank you Elaine and Michael. Your ceremony was lovely and intimate, we were happy to make the musical contribution to add to the beauty of the day. Best to you both!

We booked Christine for my daughters wedding and was not disappointed! She played the songs requested so beautifully and really made the wedding so special! She’s very professional and was a joy to work with! Can’t thank her enough!! Would book again for sure!
M father hired Christine to play some Irish folk music during my wedding ceremony. Christine's music was the most perfect touch to our day. She made suggestions about music to play at different times during the ceremony and it all fit together perfectly! She is so professional and a delight to work with!
Words cannot express how much Christine performing at my daughter's wedding meant to both my daughter and myself. On a day when myself, the father of the bride, wants everything to be perfect, Christine's playing was perfect music on a perfect day.
Christine answered every question I had timely, and communicated very well! She played beautifully, adding just the right touch to our wedding! VERY PLEASED!!!
Christine was prompt in getting back to us last minute she sounded amazing and we were so happy she was able to be there for us. Highly recommended
