Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Ava was very responsive through the whole process. The music selection was awesome and we found everything we wanted. On the day of the wedding, the ensemble showed up early and worked with event staff directly, helping make a better decision about avoiding mics during a windy day on the rooftop. The quartet's playing was beautiful. They were able to extend one song during the processional and played the perfect snippet when the bride walked down the aisle. This was an amazing enhancement to our wedding and I'm grateful to Ava and the other musicians for helping make this such a memorable moment!
Wonderful cellist and so easy to work with! Ava was an incredible addition to our special day. She provided an amazing backdrop to our ceremony, played beautifully, and helped make our wedding the classic event we have always dreamed of. We cannot thank or recommend her enough!
Ava coordinated a trio for our wedding. The group played for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Ava has a great contract, clear and efficient communication style, large repository of music and was easy to work with. Neither my spouse or I knew what music we wanted so Ava made the selections, which was a big help. Guests had many compliments and enjoyed the music. Thanks Ava for making the day extra special!
Ava was a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony! She was professional and sounded beautiful. We had many compliments.
