We upgraded our resort wedding package to include a flute, violin and cello trio for our ceremony. Shannon from Beautiful Music was great to work with and open to us requesting a few songs not on their standard music selection list. Everything was perfect and several guests commented on the great music and atmosphere they provided. Very professional and talented musicians!!

We had a great time working with Shannon , she provided the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Shannon was easy to work with, she was flexible, and we felt that the music that they provided was very nice. Highly recommend her and her team.Maryam & Scott Brazdo

I can't say enough great things about Shannon & team! So many people told me after the ceremony that was the best music they'd ever heard at a wedding. We had the trio (violin, cello, flute) play Vitamin String Quartet (youtube them!) covers of modern songs and they sounded SO lovely. The perfect blend of modern + traditional. They also played the cocktail hour which brought the most delightful vibe to the party. Especially perfect at Casa Feliz. In addition, we rented a sound system from Shannon with an iPod dock for the reception dance music. We took requests on our RSVPs and mixed them in with our favorite music. The best man kept an eye on the iPod and cued the first dance - it all worked out perfectly and the dancing went non-stop!

Shannon did a wonderful job of collaboration with a variety of genres from the old 40s standards to Caribbean to rock. Just a great resource and left my guests impressed by the creativity of the members.

Shannon with Beautiful Music was great! She was recommended to me by Shannon at Big City Catering. She has dozens of options for musicians. I selected a chamber trio that included a flutist, violinist and cello. I got married in a rotunda at Lake Mary Events Center. The wedding was absolutely amazing and the music was the perfect addition for the rotunda. They did an amazing job and Shannon was very flexible and easy to work with. :-)

Incredible. Couldn't have been more pleased. They were fantastic. Our guests were very complimentary of them. I had to convince the bride that we needed them. I am thrilled to say that she came to me that night and told me I was right, they were wonderful. The Bride and Groom were thrilled. That set the mood for the rest of the night. I would use them again.

We used Beautiful Music for both our ceremony music/cocktail hour and for dj services. Overall, we were very happy with the quartet (trio plus trumpet) and Shannon was very flexible and accommodating with our pieces that we requested. We got great comments from our guests on the music! Re: responsiveness, during the planning process, I did not feel that Shannon was as responsive as she could have been. I would get a response to one of my emails several days to a week later usually, and I would not get complete answers to my questions I asked via email as she uses a mobile device to reply. I felt that if the emails were done via PC, I probably would have received more detailed answers. However, she is very good by phone. So if you need to contact her, that is probably the best way. Speaking with Shannon, she is very professional, knowledgeable and sincerely cares about your wedding and how it is handled. The cocktail hour music was done by Eddie on sax and we also received rave reviews on his music ability. Definitely recommend Beautiful Music for ceremony music and the cocktail hour.Unfortunately there was a snag, which Shannon and I both discussed in depth. Re: Eddie as the DJ, I received feedback from our guests that was not favorable. No one was dancing and they felt the music played was really dull. As my husband and I were hardly in the room, except for brunch, we were not able to enjoy or hear the music. After much research on both ends and discussion with Shannon on what transpired, Eddie performed his job since 80% of what he played was on our play list, however I made a comment on my list to please include dance and 80's (a separate list) since we realized our playlist is a little slow and to mix things up. Unfortunately, that was not followed and all songs that were played aside from the guest requests were slow songs/dinner music. Granted, our crowd apparently weren't a dancing bunch and it was a morning wedding, but more upbeat music would have been nice and appropriate to keep the mood high. Shannon apologized and offered to refund us the booking fee which was considerate.To sum it up, I give Beautiful Music's ceremony music and cocktail hour five stars.Due to the issues that were noted above, I give their DJ services three stars and cannot fully recommend him.

Shannon Caine and Beautiful Music did a great job at our wedding and reception. They had an extensive list of music to choose from and they were very accommodating with a special request we had for a song after our ceremony. THey were very professional and we highly recommend them.

Worst mistake I made by choosing the trio for my wedding!!! I thought by reading reviews from previous people was enough to trust the quality of their service. My ceremony was at 6:00pm and they were supposed to arrive at 5:45pm. Ended up walking down the isle with no music. I was very disappointed that all three of them showed up at different time past during the cocktail hours. I would not recommend their services to anyone that wants to have no issues during their wedding day. I don't know what went wrong or why they showed up late and I can't believe their excuse was that they thought the ceremony was at a different location knowing that signs were posted around the premises indicating where the wedding was taking place or they could have called. If I knew this was going to happen, I would have never chosen them and as of today never even got an apology from them. I can't believe that being in this line of services they can't even be on time. My advise to any bride out there, make sure whoever you choose as your vendor they are responsible and on time the day of your wedding. For the people who provided great feedback below who I trusted, I'm glad they had no issues on their wedding day and things worked out for them.

I have only the highest rating for Shannon and Beautiful Music. Shannon was extremely professional and helpful in working with me on my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. The planning circumstances were more difficult with me being in Michigan and the event in Florida! Shannon made that issue a non-event. Everything went off very smoothly ... the music performed by the jazz trio was superb and the musicians were professional, very flexible and an excellent value. Their music really completed the event, raising it to a higher level of class and elegance. I would highly recommend Beautiful Music for any event!

Beautiful Music with Shannon Caine was suggested to me by my wedding planner, Lisa from E-Events. I contacted Shannon several weeks before my July 31, 2010 wedding. She immediately began to put me at ease with her knowledge of music and wedding experience. She provided me with ample suggestions of musical selections for our Knowles Chapel ceremony. I ended up choosing some obscure pieces as well as some traditional ones, and Shannon and the musicians really came through. Every detail that Shannon and I had discussed was executed to perfection. I was a stressed out bride, not knowing the first thing about how to putting together the ceremony I had envisioned, and Shannon listened to me and was able to guide me in the right direction and deliver. If you want your wedding to invoke emotion, the kind that gives you goose bumps - their is no other choice but Beautiful Music. Thank you Shannon for your tender spirit and brilliant talent. God Bless, Natasha

We recently hired Beautiful Music to play for our wedding ceremony (July 2010) and they were awesome. Shannon was great to work with and really went the extra mile helping us choose the music. We weren't interested in the standard run-of-the-mill wedding music and they had no problem finding other options and accommodating us. The ceremony went off without a hitch. The Beautiful Music trio and trumpeter worked well with the coordinator and other staff to pull off the timing just right. The way they handled everything really lowered my stress level! Great job!

Beautiful Music played the ceremony music out our wedding. We were so pleased that we decided to hire these talented musicians. They brought an element of class to our wedding that couldn't have been achieved with recorded music.

Shannon with Beautiful music was professional and pleasant from day one. They exceeded our expectations and were more than accomodating when our ceremony ran late! The music was absolutely beautiful it really made my day breathtaking! The Chamber trio played so beautifully and all of our guests loved it!

Of all the many many moving parts in my wedding I was the least concerned about my ceremony music. From the time of our first phone conversation all the way through I do Beautiful Music was responsive, professional, helpful, and just a pleaseure to work with. They are obviously very experienced musicians and were familiar with my venue and it's music rules so there was no guessing. The day went perfectly, the music was beautiful! If you have the occasion to need musicians for your wedding ceremony (or reception because I hear they do bigger bands too) don't think twice about hiring Beautiful Music because they will flawlessly execute!

We used Beautiful Music for our wedding ceremony in June 2010. The music played during the ceremony was beautiful. However, communication with representative was unprofessional. Mistake was made concerning receipt of payment and then representative did not respond to email asking if they located payment made or acknowledgement of mistake. Our guests enjoyed the beautiful music, but getting there was not as pleasant.
