About Lily Press, Harp & Simon Linn-Gerstein, Cello
Lily Press & Simon Linn-Gerstein
We are delighted to offer harp and cello, either as solo instruments or as a duo, for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception, as well as for gallery openings, fund raisers, memorial services, or other events. We create custom arrangements upon request and are equally at home performing everything from pop music to R&B, jazz, classical, country, indie rock, and everything in between!
Our harp and cello duo has been providing intimate, salon-style concerts and our own unique arrangements of classical and popular selections alike since 2007. We work closely with our clients to ensure their music experience is a source of joy that helps mark life's milestones, collaborating on custom arrangements and offering a music list with over 300 arrangements we've created during our time performing as an ensemble. We love the collaborative process - both in playing chamber music and coordinating with our clients and it is always an honor to be part of celebrating a special moment in someone's life.

Remarkable musicians and people!
I simply cannot emphasize how amazing Lily Press & Simon Linn-Gerstein are. After falling in love with their music from hearing it on their website, we got in touch with them to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the very start of this process, Lily & Simon have gone above and beyond to help make our wedding day special. Their organization, professionalism, and talent made this part of our wedding planning process (a generally stressful time) feel so effortless and happy. They were always quick to respond and communicated with us so well that we always felt we were in good hands (not to mention it has been SUCH a joy to talk to them). Lily & Simon were truly one of the few wedding vendors we had that I NEVER had a single worry or hesitation about and I cannot recommend them enough. Their beautiful music helped shape our whole ceremony and the custom composition they composed for us (ABBA’s “I Have A Dream”), which we used for our recessional, had everyone in happy tears. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their beautiful playing as much as we did and we will always remember what an amazing experience we had with them. Lily & Simon - thank you SO much!!!
Lily and Simon are the Best of the Best!
Lily Press and Simon Linn-Gerstein are truly REMARKABLE. We hired them to play the harp and cello at our wedding 2 weeks ago at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside and we could not be more pleased. Lily is A DREAM to work with - she is thoughtful, detail-oriented and so talented. All of her email correspondence were well articulated and prepared, the phone conversations we had with her were a delight, she is thorough and always prepared and organized. Lily and Simon provided us with a complementary song list to choose from, filling in the blanks for us along the way, when we needed help, and even created a custom song ("Simply the best") for our Ceremony! We LOVED it. In addition to all of this, we appreciated the small details - Lily went as far as to ask what her and Simon should wear to the event so they could be coordinated to the wedding "look" we were going for. Lily and Simon are truly the best of the best and should be your #1 choice.
Highlight of cocktail hour
Having Lily Press and Simon Linn-Gerstein play the harp and cello respectively at our wedding was the greatest gift from family. They made the cocktail hour feel regal and were an absolute delight. Their renditions of classics and pop vary greatly and are so wonderful. We are so grateful that they could be part of our wedding. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and elegant it was to have the harp and cello played during that time. I cannot praise or recommend this duo enough.
The Best Duo Ever!!
We booked Lily & Simon to play for our wedding day, and we had no regrets doing it! Their music made our ceremony so magical. From the regular songs to the custom arrangements we requested, they perfected every single one. Even when talking to them via phone and email, they were always so organized, communicative and timely when responding. I have had anxiety when speaking to wedding vendors since some of them take a while to respond, but rest assured, you certainly won't have this issue with Lily & Simon. 10/10 would recommend and hire them again for our next event!! Thank you for making our day as special as it could be!!!
