Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 21, 2024•From Newport, RI

They messed up the recessional. As the bride and groom were leaving the chapel they didn’t start playing until they were almost out the door. I was so upset by this!! This is one of life’s greatest moments and they didn’t get it. Just silence. And some notes were squeaky

Amherst String Ensemble was such an amazing addition to our wedding ceremony. The string quartet was professional, talented and their live music made me emotional in the best way while they performed our special requests. I am so glad we worked with them!

The Amherst String Ensemble string trio performed at my daughter's Williamstown, MA outdoor wedding including prelude and cocktail reception. Their musicianship was outstanding and they were really organized and accommodating with regard to booking, music selection, and event details. I highly recommend and plan to use them again in the future.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 19, 2023•From Nashua, NH

Communication in preparation for the event was excellent. The musicians arrived early and configured the performance areas as needed. The music was excellent and included a new arrangement of a requested piece of music. The guests were very impressed and the sights and sounds of the live performance added an exclamation point to the day.

:

Thank you Patrick, and congratulations! It was a honor being part of your special day. -Charlie

Review by Earl C.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 8, 2022•From Lenox, MA

From the start the expectations were clearly stated and on the day of the wedding event, they far exceeded those expectations! They accommodated our special requests, and when the outdoor wedding looked like it was going to be ruined due to unexpected rain showers, they helped rescue the wedding and made the day extra special for the wedding party by entertaining our guests. They went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute requests as well.

:

Hello Earl, thank you for the kind words. It was pleasure working with you every step of the way. We wish the couple the absolute best.

Extremely professional, accommodating and top-notch quality. I am only disappointed in that I can't rank higher than 6 stars. Made my daughter's wedding a dream come true!

The music sounded so very beautiful both in the church and at the reception, it was more than we could have prayed or hoped for. My husband and I truly enjoyed the classical string trio.Our guests were delighted and thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the day.Several guests commented on how not only what an excellent time they had but just how perfect and elegant everything was, my mother included in that review. I would strongly recommend the amherst string ensemble for others events without hesitation.The string trio helped make our vision of our wedding day come true.We truly appreciated the pure talent, professionalism, and quality of all involved.

Review by Linda S.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 21, 2009•From East Greenbush, NY

We have spent the last ten days reflecting upon our daughter Linda's wedding. We must thank Amy and the ensemble for the special ceremony music. Your playing was a wonderful accompaniment to the cool, colorful fall afternoon. We appreciate the time spent rehearsing with our soloist. The rendition of "All I Ask of You" brought tears to our eyes. So many of our guests have commented on the beautiful blending of the site and music. Your professionalism helped to make Linda and Ben's wedding day truly memorable. With appreciation, The family of Linda and Ben

They got there on tme, worked up a new piece for the event and were responsive to email communications. At least one person attending the event asked for a card. Would recommend them highly.

The Amherst String Ensemble provided a stellar musical performance for my son’s wedding last weekend. They even performed a piece for the Recessional that was composed especially for my son and his bride, by his father. It was lovely, and we have received many compliments on the music. Thank you, again, Amy Bateman for providing such an exquisite trio; and, kudos to the musicians! Shari Garton

Our contact, Amy Bateman was great. We booked them for a wedding. The musicians were very professional and were terrific. We had a lot of compliments from our guest and even a few requests for their contact information. I wouldn't hesistate to refer them or book them for another event.
