The Velveteen Ensemble was so great to work with for our ceremony music! I can't recommend them enough. They have a great song list including a huge variety of modern songs. If you're looking for a stringed quartet, definitely book the Velveteen Ensemble!

We hired the Velveteen Ensemble to perform at our wedding ceremony. It was a little touch and go communicating with them in the months before the event to make sure we were on the same page with everything, but they did an amazing job with their performance, and it definitely elevated our ceremony in the way we were hoping.

The Velveteen Ensemble was fantastic! Everyone at my wedding loved them and working with Marcel was seamless, stress-free and professional. He is responsive and accommodating and their repertoire is extensive. I recommend them HIGHLY to anyone looking for a professional quartet for their "big" day or any event for that matter where you want a live string quartet.

My husband and I hired Velveteen Ensemble to play during our pre-ceremony and ceremony for our wedding. Their large selection of songs from which to choose was very appealing in our search. They were also very willing to perform songs that are not included in their catalogue. Velveteen Ensemble was very responsive to our emails. The musicians were punctual, dressed professionally and performed beautifully. Many of our guests were pleasantly surprised by the trio and really enjoyed hearing a mix of both classical and contemporary music. Ultimately we would happily recommend the services of Velveteen Ensemble. They will truly help add a special touch to any wedding!

The Velveteen Ensemble was great. They provided music for our ceremony, and everything went so smoothly. Marcel was extremely responsive throughout the whole pre-wedding process and even provided extra music samples when I was debating between two different processional songs. They were extremely flexible and sat outside during our chilly fall ceremony without complaints! The price is extremely reasonable - don't be skeptical because they are not charging a ridiculous amount like all the other ensembles. They are just as great as the other quartets charging 3-4 times as much! The music was perfect. High recommended!

This ensemble was top notch. They were the utmost professionals, extremely talented and flexible with adjusting their location throughout my event to deal with weather and last minute changes. They also played exactly the songs I requested even a special request song at exactly the right moment. I wish there wasn't a whole party going on so I could have just appreciated their beautiful music by its self. Highly recommend this group! They made my wedding so special.

The Velveteen Ensemble is a group of solid, professional performers who are nice people to boot. They were extremely accommodating, even in the face of delays due to weather. Highly recommended.
