Review by Christina G.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 20, 2013•From Providence, RI

Selecting La Bella Musica to play during our ceremony was one of easiest choices we made - period. The group performs a wide range of contemporary and classical numbers, which kept our guests entertained even before the procession and after the ceremony, as everyone awaited elevator rides up to the cocktail hour. I coordinated with Emily Chen - who's musical talent has been on my radar since we attended the same high school. She was extremely professional, familiar with our venue and offered helpful recommendations on the size of the ensemble we'd need. (For us, a trio.) Our overall experience in working with the group was nothing short of perfect.

I was very lucky to book La Bella Musica for my wedding day. My contact was prompt, professional and very fun to work with prior to the date. On the day of, they were on time, accommodating and played beautifully. People had specifically stopped to tell me how much they enjoyed the music during the ceremony and the variety playing during the cocktail hour. If I were to have another wedding, I'd book them in a heart beat!

We loved La Bella Musica when they played for our older daughter's wedding 4 years ago... so there was no question as to which string trio to hire for our second daughter's wedding last weekend. The music was lovely before, during and after the ceremony and for the cocktail hour as well. They are fabulous!! They are extremely accomodating and ask all the right details upfront so there is nothing left to chance, the day of the event..As mother of the bride, my only regret is that I didn't have more of a chance to sit down and really enjoy their music!!

La Bella Musica were the most professional musicians we have ever hired. The music selection was great and they were very accommodating as we needed them to change location during the ceremony. Talent was incredible and the professionalism was the same. La Bella Musica made our wedding, do yourself a favor and hire them for your event. Thank You La Bella Musica Kevin and Becky Miller

Wonderful music for a small family wedding on a beautiful day at Colt State Park. Bride and groom selected a mix of classical and contemporary music.

La Bella Musica did a fantastic job for our wedding ceremony! I didn't get to hear much of the music but my husband was thrilled and we had serveral guests approach us and compliment Emily and Morgan on the music, musical selections and the quality of the music-- including a few guests who themselves are professional musicians. My mom even noted that they showed such genuine emotion throughout the ceremony through their music and actions you would have thought we had known each other for a long time! Great job!

Having known Emily and many of her ensemble members for many years, I wouldn't dream of hiring any other string ensemble for my wedding. The trio played for the ceremony and cocktail hour outside, and created a beautiful atmosphere for us and our guests, as I knew they would! The combination of classical, jazz and pop music they have available allowed for all of the guests to recognize tunes that they enjoy. My parent's friends (all musicians, too) loved listening to their arrangements of jazz tunes, and the kids recognized the princess songs and were able to sing/"conduct" along. They made sure to ask if we had any particular requests and were just lovely :)

Emily was amazing to work with. She was extremely responsive with all calls and emails. She offered great suggestions and assistance with planning our ceremony. Even through the pouring rain you could hear the beautiful music from La Bella Musica. They offer an amazing array of music options and very accomidating if you are interested in something additional. I would highly reccomend La Bella Musica and would happily book them again!

La Bella Musica was fantastic. I worked with Emily to plan my ceremony music, and she was so helpful throughout the process. She made suggestions and gave helpful feedback, and was very understanding of my lack of music knowledge! The day of the ceremony she talked with my minister and wedding coordinator and everything went off without a hitch. She was also helpful in terms of letting me know what services she and her musicians could offer within my price point. I was thrilled to work with them, and would highly recommend La Bella Musica to anyone looking to add something special to their wedding ceremony!

My only regret is that I didn't have a chance to personally thank Emily after the ceremony. We've only corresponded via email.

They were an amazing addition to our wedding. The music was perfect and they had me in tears (good ones) while I was walking down the aisle. Emily was easy to work with and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

Review by Nicole B.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 4, 2019•From Newport, RI

The music was beautiful before and after the ceremony. I wanted to speak with a person to work issues out and my requests were unanswered or delayed. I did not find out until 2 days before the wedding that they were not playing during the ceremony at all. This is not what I wanted, and if I was kept in the loop, this may have been able to be changed. I sent out an email immediately requesting a call and I received an email/text, not a phone call and no strings were heard during the ceremony.

:

Hi Nicole, We apologize that you were unhappy with our slow correspondence; that's something we're striving to do better with but part of it was us waiting for responses from the other musician. When there's a church organist involved, they have the final say over everything; we have no choice but to default to them. I offered again, upon arrival, to accompany the mass, but was shown that the logistics of the church made it impossible for us to do so. The organist met me halfway though -- we DID play during communion and they took over once we finished to avoid a lull in the music. Thank you for having La Bella Musica be a part of your daughters' wedding!
