After the first set, musicians can sign up to play on stage which I thought was really cool. There are so many talented musicians in central Florida! I hope more people know about these events to support the arts. We had a really good time!

I was in the…read moremarket for a new violin and thought I'd give Cornell a try since I hadn't seen any negative reviews. I called to make my appointment, which I originally thought I'd have to do on the weekend since all other string stores are closed by the time I'm off work, and Molly was happy to give me some time on a Thursday night. I think I was there till a little after 8 and at no point did I feel rushed. When I arrived she had a select few violins ready for me to try for my level. In our initial phone call I hadn't given too much information about my skill but her selections for me were 100% what I needed. From reviews at other shops I thought I was going to be pressured into buying something expensive that I didn't need. That was absolutely not the case here. The selections she showed me were all in my price range and she answered any questions I had to make sure I chose the perfect instrument. I'll definitely be coming back.

I was there over an hour, I had come in because my bridge was attached to my violin... Maybe varnish was not dry before putting on the bridge at another shop??? They were so knowledgeable and were able to get the sound of my violin back to where it needed to be. While I was there, I was able to play a couple of their beautiful violins... And was able to try out different bows too. I can't tell you how patient they were and how very, very kind. I wasn't rushed in anyway and was treated like a very welcomed guest.

Got it a week later which was fine, but I brought it home the same day and the fingerboard separated again. Turns out, the neck was warped and the shop didn't level it out.

I'm just disappointed I had to get it fixed again.

We hired a steel pan player through a wedding planning company as we live out of state. It was $900…read morefor one hour, but we really wanted Steel pan music for the ceremony and cocktail moment. We were sent a video of our musician and he was wonderful. I sent the requests for our ceremony entrances months in advance and was told that if he couldn't do them they would let me know. Never received a video of him playing any of our songs and I was trusting so we want forward. Day of he showed up upset that there was no shade for him to play in, as direct sunlight warps the pan, but we were never told that that was a requirement- I had no prior knowledge of steel pans and weather. He then proceeded to not play the full hour he was paid for, he used backing tracks which was fine but barely played over them at all, and did not nicely transition the music between cues. Just start and stop, no fading in, and not enough actual steel pan music to make it sound acceptable. We left that day the most upset with the steel pan, which was the most important to us and was very upsetting. I was never sent any option for a review or any feedback so I came here hoping to help any future brides. I'm sure the rest of their music is lovely- do not hire for steel pan.

Shannon is wonderful at putting together the perfect ensemble for what you want, for instance my husband used to play the saxophone and wanted that included so she put together the perfect trio to include that. Prior to signing on Shannon invited us to come see a couple of them play at an event and then came down during a break to talk to us and we were sold. Having them play just prior/during the ceremony and cocktail hour, unfortunately I only got to hear them during the walks down the aisle but so many of our guests came up to me saying how great the musicians were and how much they loved their song selection. If you are wanting to add that classy, timeless, romantic feel of live musicians you can do no better than Shannon and her team at Beautiful Music.
