• Celeste Ray was fantastic! Her colleague Dennis Winge was also delightful. I would hire them again! Sincerely, Diane, Magnum Photos -- Diane R, New York, NY, 6/20/2007
• Celeste Ray greatly exceeded my expectations during her performance at my wedding ceremony in Central Park. Celeste orchestrated the perfect mood and ambiance with her musical talent. Celeste is courteous, talented and a true professional. I would personally recommend Celeste to participate in any venue a friend would have that needed a musical touch. -- Thomas C, New York, NY, 3/25/2007
• She was very kind and went with the flow. It was a very unorganized church luncheon and she just kept playing. Beautiful sound that resonated to the back of the room. We had many people compliment her performance. -- Debbie N, Yorktown Heights, NY, 11/19/2006
