The Four Seasons Ensemble

"All I can say is 'wow'. What a fabulous job you and your ensemble did yesterday. As I mentioned to you at the end of the event, guests were asking where I found you and when they can hear you again. Thank you for your patience, flexibility and professionalism throughout." – Lori Rudolph, Wedding Planner, Oct. 2007

• Awesome! Karen is extremely professional and very polite. She was a pleasure to work with. I requested some different music than their usual playlist and Karen was open to anything. I also asked for classical and contemporary music for the cocktail hour and that was not a problem at all. The group was on time and looked fantastic! I only wish the day of I got to listen to more of their music, but being the bride I was just too busy. I would recommend these folks to anyone looking for live music. -- Kelly W, Westport, CT, 4/14/2012
• The Four Seasons Ensemble did a phenomenal job at my wedding on Long Island. I had many specific song requests, and Karen went out of her way to find the best sheet music arrangements for the songs I wanted! We also hired the violinist to stay through the beginning of our reception so we could do a surprise tango as our first dance. He was AMAZING. With very little advance coordination (just one email!) he worked with our band to play the tango exactly the way we had practiced it, and all of our guests complimented the way the piece was played. The musicians showed up early, were friendly, and sounded amazing. I'm glad I hired them! -- Lindsey P, Long Beach, NY, 3/5/2011
• Karen was wonderful to work with, because she responded promptly to all our phone calls and e-mails. She and the group were courteous and professional. And the music was exactly what we wanted. Thank you! -- Eric G, Tarrytown, NY, 8/29/2010
• The Four Seasons Ensemble was, in a word, outstanding. From accomodating our wedding to play with my Aunt, who is a pianist, to being flexible with a last-minute, weather-related change of location, they were professional and delightful at every turn. Guests commented about how lovely they were all night. I cannot recommend these musicians more. Thank you for adding your beautiful touch to our dream day. -- Amy C, Skytop, PA, 8/15/2010
• They were great! Added so much to my son's overall wedding experience. I would hire them again in a minute. -- Mark J, Mountain Lakes, NJ, 10/9/2010
• The Four Seasons were a great addition to our holiday party. Everyone throughly enjoyed their music, they are very talented and professional. I would use them again and recommend them without reservation. -- Betty H, Doylestown, PA, 12/11/2010
• Absolutly excellent experience,,,,would highly recommened them to anyone!!!!!! -- Dawn C, Tannersville, PA, 2/14/2011
• My husband shares a birthday with Mozart and we hired the Four Seasons Ensemble to play a mostly Mozart birthday concert in our home. We cannot speak more glowingly of the experience. Karen, the group's leader, worked with us to create an inventive and inspired program, which included a Happy Birthday encore that was a special touch. The ensemble exhibited the highest level of musicianship and professionalism. Many of our guests are themselves accomplished musicians, and hence a discerning audience. They gave the Four Seasons rave reviews. We strongly recommend the ensemble and look forward to finding another opportunity to work with them again. -- Pamela S, Larchmont, NY, 1/28/2012
• The Four Seasons Ensamble arrived early for our wedding and started warming up around 40 minutes before they were supposed to start. Several of our guests found even the warm up music so beautiful they were moved to tears. They handled all requests excellently and were wonderful to even just talk to. Highly recommended. I send my thanks for making our special day even more special -- Louis M, Bethel, CT, 1/1/2012
