My wife and I were married on Saturday, March 25, 2006. Being a musician by trade, and having quite a few professional musicians and music educators in attendance at the ceremony, it was imperative to find just the right peforming group for our event. . .after all, it was going to be a tough audience! I spent a great deal of time researching woodwind ensembles in the Chicago area before stumbling on the Gigmasters link to the Amarante Ensemble. I was absolutely blown away by the sound samples I heard there, and quickly knew that I had found the perfect ensemble for our musical needs. I have nothing but the highest praise for the group's professionalism. The date of our event changed over the course of our wedding preparations. We changed locations. I was extremely specific about what pieces I wanted played during our service. . .and our ceremony was full of music. Yet throughout the entire often-stressful process of planning the wedding, Amarante Ensembles accomodated every one of our requests and the changes in both date and venue. Our contact people with the group made themselves available to answer any questions and address any needs we had and definitely made us feel like our event was a priority. Most importantly, we were pleased with the quality of the music itself. Amarante Ensembles is a collection of extremely talented performers. Their warmth of tone and sensitive musicianship provided the perfect complement to our event, helping to capture in sound all of the wonderful emotion of the day.
