Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 14, 2009From Saratoga Springs, NY

The Amherst String Ensemble (we had a violinist and guitarist) was extremely professional. They accommodated all of our requests for music and were easy to get in touch with. We are very thankful.

The Amherst String Ensemble were a wonderful addition to our wedding. They arrived promptly at the time we had discussed and played beautifully throughout the cocktail and dinner hour. We were very pleased and received many compliments on the music. I would highly recommend them!

The Amherst String Ensemble was an excellent find for us. It was a last-minute hire, and they were exceptional. Their music made our daughter's wedding very special as they worked with us on a couple of special requests. Many of the guests commented on how lovely the music was, and I couldn't agree more!

The Amherst String Ensemble was exremely professional, personal, and extremely talented. Their balance and blending was spot on! their mixing of different types and styles of music plaased everyone at the wedding. The playing gave the wedding a great touch and sound for the wedding. Being a violin player myself, I was very impressed as to their music ability and blending in all the music they played. I would not hesitate to hire them again and again at twice the fee they charged! Thanks so much ASE! - Greg Straut

The Amherst String Ensemble was wonderful! They were prompt, professional and very talented! They not only met, but exceeded our expectations. They were exactly what my daughter & her husband were hoping for and we would most certainly consider them for another function.

Everyone involved was so kind and supportive. The music sounded great in the space and they turned around arrangements quickly...really, we couldn't have been happier with our experience!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 4, 2011From Quincy, MA

The Amherst String Ensemble was fantastic!!! I am so grateful for everything they provided!! The music was perfect! Each performer was gracious , professional, poised and personable!! Everyone asked me how I had known to choose them!! My grandchildren, Lillian Rose(4+1/2) and Kiera(2 +1/2) love classical music; they absolutely loved it!! I only wished I had a video of the ceremony and or a taping of the elegant music!! The memories I have of this beautiful wedding will last a lifetime! The Amherst String Ensemble was superb! I simply cannot say enough about how thrilled we all were to have them provide excellent service for 'The Wedding of The Century'!!!!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 15, 2011From Meredith, NH

Their music set the mood for one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to. Watching the bride walking with her dad to the Canon processional brought tears to my eyes. All the music the Amherst String Quartet played was a delight to listen to. It was elegant and beautifully performed. Conversation was easy during the cocktail hour and the mood was enhanced by the soft strings playing familiar classics in the background. I believe it was because of their music that my daughter had the wedding she and I had always dreamed of! Thanks for making our dreams come true!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on May 31, 2011From Springfield, MA

The trio was on time, played immediately, and were very friendly and professional. The music quality was amazing, and everyone commented on how the music made our wedding venue really stand out from the rest that they had been to, and everyone complemented the sound as not too loud, and the selections very appropriate for a ceremony setting. I'll recommend the Amherst String Ensemble to everyone that has interest in a string performance. You guys were Aces!

Church ServiceReviewed on January 2, 2011From Framingham, MA

The Amherst String Ensemble played for our parish on Christmas Eve and were well received by all. We have had a brass quartet over the years and decided to change it up this year. The change was so refreshing. The musicians were all excellent very professional. The atmosphere in the parish was brought up to a higher level because of what their music added to the service - simply heavenly!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 6, 2011From Middletown, CT

This is a long overdue rating! Three musicians from the Amherst String Ensemble performed at our wedding in Middletown, Connecticut last year. They found two special pieces of music for me and were incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. They sounded spectacular. Our guests raved about both their playing at the church and during our cocktail hour (which I sadly missed due to pictures!). We received a dvd of our wedding recently and it featured the work of the trio, most of which I didn't get to hear or see, and it reminded me of the wonderful work they did. Thank you so much for being part of our day - everything was superb!
