Review by Isabella F.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on April 11, 2023From Seffner, FL

My husband and I hired Julie and her team to play violin and cello at our outdoor wedding and wow did they exceed expectations! Everyone was in awe of their talent! Julie was soo nice, professional and punctual! They brought elegance to their performance and I am beyond happy with their service. Highly recommend them to anyone with a musical need, can’t go wrong!

Isabella, thank you for this wonderful review! Your wedding at Ever After Farms Flower Barn was so intimate and relaxed!

This performance was for my mom's birthday celebration at her memory care facility! My mom thoroughly enjoyed the music and the music selections! Julie was easy to work with and made the event smooth, even though I was coordinating it from several states away! Thank you!!

Our daughter's wedding was so beautiful with the music from The Paradies Ensemble! The music was wonderful and added so much to the ceremony. Julie was wonderful to work with and made the whole process so easy. Would definitely want to hire The Paradies Ensemble for our next big event. Also, the entire Bash process was wonderful from start to finish and being able to find the best string trio for our daughter's wedding. Thank you.

Your daughter’s wedding at the Sunken Gardens was beautiful! Chelsea, George and I were happy to play for you.

The Paradies Ensemble Duo was a perfect choice for our backyard wedding ceremony. The music was beautiful and Julie checked in with us multiple times before the event to make sure our music selections were perfect. We were lucky to have them as part of our very special day!

Julie, Joan, Ellen and George played perfectly for us at our wedding. They exceeded all our expectations and we would recommend them to anyone who wants really beautiful classical music for their event.

Barbra and Bill, Thank you for this glowing review. We enjoyed playing at your Fenway Hotel wedding, and especially playing a waltz for your first dance! Your dancing was so romantic!

Very professional and organized! Julie and her team were wonderful. We really wanted a ukulele for Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and they found one and accommodated. Thanks for making my daughter’s day so beautiful. The music really makes the wedding. ?? God bless you guys.

Hi Lori, Yes, we were happy to accommodate your request! George put aside his cello to play the ukulele while I played Over the Rainbow on my violin.

The Paradies Ensemble were amazing. My husband and I were very pleased that they were able to accommodate us after another group canceled 3 days before our wedding day. They played beautifully.... Thanks a million for making our day more special. Bernoune and Frederic Guerrier

Jim and I felt privileged to play at your elegant wedding at the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 11, 2017From Indian Rocks Beach, FL

Let me start off by saying my favorite part of our wedding ceremony was hearing Julie and Jim Paradise play. My ceremony took place on the beach and although it turned out to be a beautiful day, the wind and water were loud making it hard to hear. This didn’t affect Julie and Jim, we could hear their beautiful music perfectly. Julie is an amazing person to work with. She is a kind and patient woman who went over everything with me numerous times to make sure my wedding day was perfect. When my big day came, I was nervous and excited. As I walked towards the arch all I could hear was their beautiful music and I knew I had hired the best musicians.

:

Jessica, Thank you for writing this 5 star review! And thank you for providing the canopy for us on the beach. Best wishes!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on May 8, 2017From Saint Petersburg, FL

Based on a last minute cancellation of organist and violinist to play at our wedding ceremony, I was able to locate Paradies Ensemble through Gigmasters and was highly impressed with the aptitude and professionalism of Paradies. Since I rarely have time to review and comment on my experiences, I will say Julie was extremely professional and diligent to validate her musical repoitore and experience to play this type of venue. I was confident upon speaking to her that she was the right choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any type of venue and her level of experience was truly a blessing and welcomed for making my ceremony harmonious and a beautiful experience.

FundraiserReviewed on February 15, 2018From Palm Harbor, FL

It was beautiful. Our issue was totally my not realizing how much noise 20 tables of 10 ladies per table visiting creates. Probably those that were toward the back of the hall would not have heard how beautiful the music was. Innisbrook has no sound system so the sound wouldn't have carried as much as we would have liked.

WeddingReviewed on May 16, 2016From Roxbury, NY

We had the honor of having the Paradies Ensemble play at our Ceremony and cocktail hour this past Saturday up in Roxbury NY. They were absolutely amazing! They even learned A Whole New World for us (our first date was Aladdin on Broadway). They were such a pleasure to work with and their beautiful music made our day extra special. We can't say enough good things about this group, we highly recommend them for your event. Thanks again Paradies Ensemble!

Hi Tom and Kacie, It was very gratifying to see your thumbs up while we were playing A Whole New World. We were happy to play a part in your perfect day! ~~Julie, Jim, Ryan and Jay

I had several calls with Julie to prepare for the ceremony. We had specific requests for our music and timing. She was very accommodating. It was an incredibly special and meaningful ceremony as a result :)

They were a true pleasure to work with and they were very considerate of my personal experience. Reasonably priced and added a classy component to our wedding

Thank you Gigi! It was a pleasure to play at the wedding at Diamond Mills.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on March 11, 2015From Salisbury Mills, NY

I originally found Julie from Paradies Ensemble on GigMasters for a bride I was working with. Julie was very warm and pleasant from the first interaction to the final goodbyes. My bride and groom were very happy with her talent. Julie arrived early to ensure she was in place prior to the ceremony and played prelude music until the bride was ready. Overall, my clients and I were highly satisfied and I would use Paradies Ensemble again!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on January 21, 2015From Newburgh, NY

I would highly recommend The Paradies Ensemble. We hired the Quartet to perform during the Wedding Ceremony at the church, during the cocktail hour at the reception, and for the first dance. Our first dance was Por Una Cabeza (Argentina Tango). The Quartet practiced numerous hours to be able to play the Tango for our first dance. It was absolutely beautiful. Our family and friends were touched by the whole experience. I would highly recommend the Quartet because they were prompt, professional, and prepared for our Wedding. It really was a beautiful addition to our celebration.

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience working with The Paradies Ensemble. They were extremely accommodating and we would highly recommend them to any of our friends and family. We couldn't have been more pleased with their help as we approached our very hectic and busy wedding date!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 28, 2010From Saratoga Springs, NY

I simply can't find words to express how pleased my wife and I were with the music Julie provided for our December wedding. Our ceremony was small, and with a modest budget we were concerned we'd have to compromise our vision of the ideal music. Then we found Julie. Working within our budgetary restrictions, Julie arranged a splendid string duet, and they created an enchanting atmosphere for every moment from processional to reception. Julie was extremely accommodating of our specific requests, and she took our few suggestions and used them to build a song list that reflected a great deal of care for and attention to the ambiance we were seeking to create.

Julie's violin and trumpet duo was one of a kind! It was perfect for our church wedding ceremony. It really made the ceremony very unique and unforgettable. She did a wonderful job and I would recommend the duo for any wedding ceremony or special gathering! Christina 8/13/11

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 11, 2012From Rhinecliff, NY

They did a wonderful job. They accomodated all of our request for music and it was just beautiful. Imagine violins and the banks of the Hudson River in New York. Perfect! I would highly recommend Julie. You won't be disappointed.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 13, 2013From Brewster, NY

The entire experience with Julie Berman Paradises had been nothing but pleasurable. Julie was very accommodating and she had made this part of the wedding planning so easy and enjoyable. I am truly grateful for all of their talent & expertise. The Paradises Ensemble surpassed our expectations. Our guests were commenting throughout the reception on just how wonderful the church music was. We couldn't have been happier! I would highly recommend The Paradies Ensemble for any special occasion. True professionals who performed with such elegance & grace. You will not be disappointed.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 12, 2012From Wallkill, NY

Julie and her team did an amazing job, and having a live violinist and trumpeter added so much to our special day. We've heard again and again from our family and friends how much they enjoyed the live music during the cocktail hour. Thank you Julie for helping to make our special day so memorable!

WeddingReviewed on December 25, 2009From Wappingers Falls, NY

Julie and the other 2 musicians did an amazing job at our ceremony. They were dresses proffesionally and showed up a half hour before they were to begin playing. There was not a request we made that she could not meet! Everything was exactly the way we imagined it would be and we could not have asked for anything better. Through the whole process she was helpful, she sent along lots of choices of music for us to pick from. During the actual ceremony the music was wonderful, and it brought the perfect touch to the day! Thanks Julie!
