Celeste Vee
Overview
I am a San Antonio–based luxury violinist known for delivering elevated, high-impact performances for corporate events as well as exclusive weddings and private gatherings. This isn’t background music. After decades of performing alongside top DJs, musicians and world-renowned planners, I know how to read a room and deliver an experience guests remember long after the event ends. I accept a limited number of engagements each year and primarily work with high-end clients seeking a statement performance, not standard entertainment. I also lead a national roster of top-tier performers and am happy to recommend one of them if they’re a better fit for your event.

November 24, 2024Absolutely Amazing
Celeste was wonderful and made our wedding so special. We asked her to play Bless the Broken Road for our first dance and it was just amazing. Our guests really enjoyed her music and she added the classy touch we wanted for the evening.

Celeste was absolutely wonderful. Her playing. Her professionalism. The works. She is first class all the way and a master of her craft. Cannot wait to share her music for others, as well as book her for our next event. 5-Stars.

Thank you so much, Michael! It was a FANTASTIC event, and it was my honor to entertain your guests! Y’all did such a good job with the planning and execution, and that made it fun (and informative) for everyone. I still hope we can jam together sometime!

November 8, 2021Celeste made our evening special. Our guests loved her.
Wow, just wow. Celeste is just so super talented. She plays beautifully, sings beautifully and her bank of songs are just unbelievable. We were celebrating Diwali, Celeste played an array of music from Indian Bollywood tunes to pop and was also willing to learn any songs that we may have wanted played that evening.
Celeste is a real novelty, exactly what we were looking for! We will certainly love to have Celeste at one of our next parties.
Thankyou, you were just unbelievably amazing!

Here's a quote from a recent client:
"Celeste was the easiest vendor to work with while we were planning the wedding. All I basically had to do was tell her the time and location and what our first song was and she took care of EVERYTHING ELSE! She coordinated with the DJ, venue and planner. With so many vendors involved in an Indian wedding, I’m so glad we found Celeste who made it so easy for us."

About
Celeste Vee is a San Antonio–based luxury violinist with over 25 years of professional performance experience, known for delivering elevated, high-impact live music for corporate events, exclusive weddings, and private celebrations. Her work goes far beyond playing the violin — it’s about creating an atmosphere, setting the tone of the room, and shaping an experience guests feel from the very first note.
Classically trained and highly versatile, Celeste has spent decades performing at high-end events alongside top DJs, producers, and world-renowned planners. This experience has given her a deep understanding of timing, flow, and energy — knowing when to lead, when to enhance, and when to let a moment breathe. Whether she’s collaborating live with a DJ, performing a refined cocktail-hour set, or delivering a statement performance that commands attention, her presence is confident, polished, and intentional.
Celeste is especially sought after by clients who value experience and professionalism just as much as artistry. She understands how high-stakes events operate and how many moving parts are involved behind the scenes. As a result, she works seamlessly with planners, venues, AV teams, and other vendors to ensure the entertainment feels effortless and perfectly integrated into the event timeline. Her performances are designed to elevate the overall guest experience — not distract from it.
In addition to her solo performance work, Celeste is the founder and director of a national roster of top-tier performers. After years of being personally requested for events across the country, she built a curated collective of elite musicians who meet the same standards she holds for herself. This allows her to thoughtfully match clients with the right artist when needed, while maintaining a consistently high level of quality, presentation, and professionalism. Many clients specifically request Celeste, while others trust her to place a performer who best fits their vision, venue, and guest experience.
Celeste accepts a limited number of engagements each year and primarily works with high-end clients seeking a statement performance rather than standard entertainment. Her services are best suited for events where live music is meant to make an impression — enhancing the energy of the room, complementing a carefully designed experience, and leaving guests talking long after the event ends.
If you are looking for background music or a casual add-on, this is likely not the right fit. If, however, you are seeking a confident, experienced performer who understands how to elevate an event at the highest level, Celeste Vee brings both the artistry and the expertise to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Additional booking notes
Most performances require the Client's DJ or AV company to provide sound production. However, each violinist is also provided with a small professional speaker that is great for more intimate occasions.
If your DJ is providing sound, the violinist will need:
- One or more speakers
- Mixer with at least two channels
- Small table for violinist's laptop and wireless unit
- Power supply within 20 feet
