Hi Melissa,
Thanks so much for being a part of our wedding. My
aunt is currently on her way back to Japan and unaffected by the recent
earthquake. Nick and I flew back today and made it back to Los Angeles
this afternoon. For now, I am keeping my name as is. Although, I don't
mind being referred to as Mrs. Brunelli either.
Nick and I were extremely happy with the music at our
wedding ceremony. You were so patient with us when we were making our
selections, and you really took the time to make sure that we found exactly
what we wanted. Also, we think that you went above and beyond by attending
our rehearsal (to practice the timing of each piece), and you were very
flexible with last minute changes that were made. Planning a wedding is
so much easier when there are reliable and talented people such as yourself
involved. We appreciate all of your hard work!
Thanks again!
Take care,
Yoshie and Nicholas

The Santa Maria staff and supporters really appreciate Bella Musica Columbus providing beautiful music for our annual celebrations of Columbus Day for our corporate sponsors both in 2006 and 2007. The sounds of violin and harpsichord resonate nicely among our ship's timbers, and help establish a special atmosphere evocative of days long ago. Young Charles Gleason, who accompanied you, is an extraordinary violinist who we hope will choose a professional musical career when he grows up! Thank you, Melissa, for thoughtful musical selections and your willingness to adapt to our unique environment. How pleasant to hear Baroque music while the Santa Maria literally rocked and rolled.
Sincerely,
Linda Ketcham

The music that your group provided during
the cocktail hour at
our daughter's wedding was beautiful. We were very happy with the
atmosphere that the music helped create, and our only regret is that
we didn't have you play at the church. We have recommended Bella
Musica to other friends for their children's weddings already - and will
continue to do so!

My family chose to have this talented group play at my mother's memorial service because of her life-long love of music. We were able to select music that was meaningful to us and that was beautiful and celebratory. Bella Musica added such a significant component to this service; it was as though the music provided a lovely transition for our mother.

Thank you tremendously for your musical contribution to the Gospel Performing Arts Expo this past November!
As you know, the Expo was held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center and was our first endeavor of this magnitude. Bella Musica helped to make the event a “smashing” success! The repertoire you selected was absolutely perfect for the occasion and your delivery was very professional.
It was great working with you and we look forward to the opportunity to serve with you again in the future!
Sincerely,
Emma L. Easton

Thank you,

To Whom It May Concern
In the spring of 2002, my husband and I hired Melissa Robol to provide the music for our wedding. We had become familiar with Melissa as she had played the piano for our church. Each Sunday we were graced with Melissa's skill and passion for the piano. When we talked to Melissa about what we wanted for our wedding, we told her we wanted to keep things simple and have fun.
During our initial conversations with Melissa, it became clear that my husband and I know very little about music! Melissa helped us each step of the way. She made suggestions for music selection and provided endless "samples" for us to choose from. We also knew that we wanted to keep our guests happy and entertained before the wedding. While we knew that we wanted something upbeat we had no idea what we wanted to hear. We finally said to Melissa, "make it fun"! And that she did. Melissa selected a series of classic show tunes that entertained our guests for a half hour before the wedding.
When we talk to people about our wedding the first thing they recall is the wonderful piano music. People talk about Melissa's talent and how she set the tone for a fun and loving wedding. We both enjoyed working with Melissa and are so grateful for the wonderful gift of song that she gave our wedding.
