    Sweet sixteen party

    I had a sweet sixteen party for my daughter. The musicians help make the party a memorable one. They were right on time and extremely professional. For future engagements I will definitely hire Alexandria & Ensemble. You can't ask for anything better. Thank you SO MUCH. Richie

    Best part of our big day

    If I could give WeddinGigs 10 stars, I would. We had a cello & guitar duet for our wedding, and Alexandra and team absolutely knocked it out of the park. We are so thankful we chose them to accompany us on our special day. We had a very intimate, 10 person micro wedding and each one of our guests commented many times about how wonderful the music was. It was perfect for our space and guest count and I would highly recommend this team!

    Beautiful Ceremony Music

    My husband and I hired Weddingigs for our ceremony musicians. After a long and thorough search for ceremony musicians I knew I found the perfect group when I watched and listened to the videos and recordings of Alexandra playing her cello. We immediately hired the cello and guitar duo for our pre-ceremony and ceremony music. From their songs list it is clear that they have incredible range. I cannot describe how beautiful the music was as we all walked down the aisle. Thank you so much Alexandra– We can listen to you play all day!

    Fantastic quartet: exactly what we wanted

    Alexandra & Ensembles was incredibly easy to work with and the quartet provided a beautiful performance at our wedding. Alexandra was extremely responsive and put us at ease throughout the whole process. The quartet nailed the specific version of a song I wanted as recessional (not the more common popular version) and learned a new arrangement for our processional outside of their usual repertoire as well - all included in their booking price! Our guests gave us so many compliments on the quartet and I certainly teared up as well throughout the ceremony. Thank you for providing such beautiful music for our special day! Highly recommend!

    A perfect addition to wedding ceremony

    Everyone at our wedding ring about the life musician and how much it added to our ceremony. Alexandra was fantastic to work with, she gave prompt responses and was easy to communicate with. There were no hidden fees and she was able to play a special song that we requested.

    Wedding Ceremony Cellist/Pianist

    Alexandra and her team provided the perfect music for our outdoor ceremony. They come with their own equipment and speakers, and even provided a microphone for our officiant for a fair fee. She is very professional and offers a large repertoire to choose from.

    Just Perfect…

    Alexandra was so easy to work with - an absolute professional. We chose a Cello and Guitar duo for our Wedding ceremony & cocktail hour. They have a large variety of song choices in their repertoire and were able to seamlessly transition across the different genres. They exceeded all expectations my (now) husband and I had - I still get goosebumps thinking about my walk down the aisle. Our guests are still raving, weeks after our wedding. Alexandra & Ensembles made the best day of our lives even better.

    Perfectly beautiful ceremony music

    We chose the a trio (violin, guitarist, & cellist) for the ceremony music at our June 2021 wedding at 74Wythe. The musicians were very professional and the music was beautiful. They were able to play our three preferred song choices, as well as the music ahead of the ceremony. Alexandra was also great to work with ahead of time. She is organized and very responsive. I would highly recommend her team to anyone!

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Alexandra and her ensemble were absolutely amazing!!! We changed our date 3 times due to the pandemic, and Alexandra was extremely understanding and flexible throughout the whole process!! Our final date ended up being in the middle of a hurricane, and she still came in all smiles!! She and her ensemble played beautifully, and all of our guests were blown away! She even a song that was special for me and my parents to walk down to. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Alexandra, and we would love to work with her for many future celebrations!!

    Alexandra & Ensemble are truly exceptional!

    Alexandra & Ensemble were exceptional and their music truly elevated our entire wedding experience! We hired their guitar trio for the cocktail hour and we were blown away by the quality of their music. Our guests still comment on their spectacular and memorable sound. There truly couldn't be a better choice for professional, enthusiastic, and highly talented musicians for any special occasion. I highly recommend Alexandra & Ensemble.

    Still blown away

    We were completely blown away! We chose the cello/guitar duet for our ceremony and cocktail hour and we are still getting compliments two months later! Alexandra was very easy to get in touch with and walked us through picking our songs. We didn’t go with your typical wedding march and recessional but that made it all the more special because this duo was so beyond talented. Just hearing them start to play before I walked down the aisle had me in tears. They helped us to personalize our ceremony to fit our love and then made our cocktail hour that much more enjoyable playing covers of songs we adore. I highly recommend these amazingly talented performers to any couple who is looking to add a personal touch to their wedding and entertainment that will surprise and wow your guests! Thank you again! -The McGuickians

    So lucky to have had them play at our wedding!

    Alexandra & Ensemble was perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We decided to go ahead with their guitar trio team. Their music was absolutely beautiful and perfect. Even listening to their sample songs on their website made me emotional. They were so easy to work with and was able to play some special songs that we requested, which guests loved! They are so talented. We are so thankful we were able to have them for our special day despite all that's happening around us.
    Highly recommend!

    It was such a busy day for me so I couldn’t sit and listen to them play all songs but they were wonderful. Very professional and the sound was sooo pretty. Alexandra is so easy to communicate with and they will tailor song based on your venue to make sure it is all perfect.

    definitely must have for your wedding

    Alexandra and her team did such an amazing job for my wedding. Her price was affordable and she was extremely easy to work with. Hiring her and her team made my wedding extra special and gave it the bit of wow factor that I was looking for. My husband wanted to be extra and wanted to play a certain song that Alexandra had to learn for his ceremony walk-in entrance. My husband loved it so much that he said he purposefully tried to walk slower to enjoy the song.

    Wonderful and Very Professional

    Alexandra and the trio were wonderful. Very responsive to our emails and were able to play all of our requests. The most important was the bridal procession which was an oddball choice of ours that they played very well. The trio was extremely professional and really created the ambience we were looking for during the reception and the cocktail hour. We would absolutely hire them again for a future event.

    Lovely cello/guitar duo!

    Alexandra and her guitarist friend played for our wedding at Oheka castle for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Alexandra was extremely responsive and easily accommodated all of our song requests. They also were able to figure out how to get the power working at the garden location for the ceremony, which was great so the guests could all hear through the amp. Overall, I highly recommend Alexandra!

    Outstanding!

    Alexandra and Ensembles made our daughter and son in law's wedding an extraordinary event! They played beautifully for the first 90 minutes of the wedding dinner and every guest commented on their performance.
    It was a pleasure working with Alexandra from the first contact and all through the event. They were beautiful professional musicians who brought a celestial and elegant vibe to our event.
    I recommend them whole heartedly! Thank you Alexandra and Ensembles!

    One of my best decisions

    To start with, my mom couldn't stop talking about the string trio days after my wedding. She loved it soooooo much!

    We hired the string trio (violin, guitar, and cello). The team is very professional, dedicated, plays really really well(highly skilled). The playlist for cocktail hour is nice. Looking back, we really think that having the string trio really lifted up the the atmosphere for ceremony and cocktail hour. The team even learned a new song for my recessional!

    Professional, Reliable, Excellent

    Alexandra is a reliable, professional and excellent musician. We requested a cello and guitar duet and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Alexandra was flexible, courteous and responded quickly to our last minute requests. If you haven't been considering a duet or trio, please consider it. And if you are already in the process of trying to find the perfect duet, search no more. This is it. You will be more than satisfied with Alexandra and her ensembles.

    A highlight of our wedding!

    Alexandra and Ensembles performed at our wedding in July 2019. They blew us away! From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, they set the tone for our event, and all of our guests were talking about them! They bring professionalism, excitement, good vibes, and strength to their performance. Alexandra was very responsive in the planning process, and she and her group learned a few songs that were important to us for our ceremony. We would choose Alexandra & Ensembles over and over again if we could!
