Feedback
- We selected the violin/cello duet. Jim was easy to get a hold of. I'd send an email or question and always recieved a quick response. They were prompt. They were accomadating with a music piece they were not fimilar with and did a wonderful job. They helped to make our wedding day a wonderful one. Thank you for your time and talent!
I would highly recommend Ensemble Con Brio. -- Tracy A, Chaska, MN, 7/9/2011
- Great Group, very accommodating, talented, and professional. They added so much to our ceremony and to the cocktail hour. We loved having them and would love to hire them for any future occasions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! -- Tommy B, St Croix Falls, WI, 6/24/2011
- Ensemble con brio was extremely accommodating and made our wedding a first class event. They were more than willing to learn new pieces and customize our day. We recommend ECB to anyone who is looking for a classy alternative to a four string quartet. -- Steven W, Chaska, MN, 7/2/2011
- Unfortunatly I wasn't able to even meet them that day because I was so busy, but they just got themselves ready and the music was beautiful. Thank you! -- Emily K, Orono, MN, 10/8/2011
- We were very pleased with Ensemble Con Brio and enjoyed having them at our ceremony and reception. They worked with us to create ceremony music which both we and our guests enjoyed. We would strongly recommend Ensemble Con Brio to a friend as well. -- Matt I, Faribault, MN, 12/30/2011
