• Superb performance, well organized, and polite and pleasant musicians. -- Jay T, Dallas, TX, 12/10/2006
• European Ensemble was absolutely wonderful. Months later my guests still comment on how beautiful the music was at my wedding and my wedding reception. My wedding was August 12, 2006. Edina is the perfect blend of talented musician, professional business owner, and very caring person. She went out of her way to do so much work for me and re-wrote 3 songs in the key for my Soloist, Moon River for our 'First Dance' and all at the last minute. She was definitely underpaid for what I received vs. what I was charged. I absolutely can not say enough good things about her and her group. With complete confidence I recommend the European Ensemble to any one and everyone. You can not hire better! Do yourself a favor, hire them. Being able to turn the music over to Edina for my wedding was wonderful, because she was one of the few people that I really felt that I could count on during the process of planning the wedding. The European Ensemble absolutely exceeded my wildest hopes! anyone who wants additional information can contact me through email: cdsgoddess@yahoo.com Cissy Davis -- Cissy D, Dallas, TX, 8/12/2006
• European Ensemble performed at our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. Edina , who is the leader of this group is very professional and delivered an outstanding performance. Our ceremony was delayed , and they played like an extra 15 or 20 minutes than they were supposed too. If you are thinking about hiring strings for your event, look no further. Thanks again Edina!! -- Scott A, Plano, TX, 9/30/2011
• Edina and the performers were absolutely excellent! My guests commented on how enjoyable their music was expressed. They were able to accommodate our request for a combination of classical and contemporary for both the wedding and cocktail hour. Again, we appreciate their services and will definitely recommend them to our friends and family. Sincerely, Jeanette & Umesh Rajagopal -- Jeanette R, Plano, TX, 6/19/2011
