Elegant Ensembles

Of all of the entertainment companies with whom we met, we never felt a genuine connection until we met with Mark. While other companies were pushing lighting packages for 90 minutes of a 120 minute meeting, Mark was the first one to actually spend that amount of time discussing our musical tastes and vision for the wedding. He was able to walk us through how our entire experience would look if we were to take him and DJ whose name was also DJ (and he was awesome) on to MC the experience. He gave us a multitude of options, but never in a way which felt overwhelming. Before we even left our meeting, my wife and I had written each other a note that we were going to leave a deposit that day. Mark was great at checking in with us along the way to make sure that we were in the loop as we got closer to our wedding day. On the actual day, DJ the DJ was able to make our day an absolute blast. Let’s put it this way, neither my wife nor I are big fans of dancing and we were out there for a good part of the night. He was very accommodating to our musical tastes but was also great at gauging what music would help keep the party going and executed flawlessly. Mark and DJ made our day special even better, all while keeping the entire process painless and smooth.

We contracted with Elegant Ensembles to provide the music for the ceremony portion of our wedding this summer, through the recommendation of our officiant who has worked with them in the past. In selecting a string trio to play during the ceremony, we were a little nervous about their ability to play some of the songs we wanted, but were pleasantly surprised when they were not only able to, but excited to play some more «non-​traditional» music for a wedding.
Among the song choices were «Piano Man» and «Uptown Girl» by Billy Joel, «1, 2, 3, 4» by the Plain White Ts and of course «Clair de Lune» by Debussy to keep it (a little) traditional. For the prelude to the ceremony, we asked if they could play some more modern rock/​top 40 music – and they did wonderfully. It was great to hear from our guests saying the string trio was entertaining and professional.
Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, they planned and coordinated with us, the venue, and our officiant very closely. Every minute detail was taken care of, and they were very flexible with our requests!
I would highly recommend them for any of their services – if the professionalism and quality we saw from the string trio is any indication, I am positive their DJ and other offered services would be equally stellar.
