Ellie was very accommodating. I had a small time change a few weeks before the wedding and she did not have a problem with that. With all of the chaos of the wedding occuring all around me, the musicians were a non-issue. They came, set up, and played beautiful music at the appropriate time. They were pleasant to all my guests. Ellie kept in great communication with me. I found that emails worked best. We had one last minute bit of confusion about special requests for the musicians just before the wedding, but it was quickly and effeciantly worked out. I am looking forward to seeing the video to enjoy the musicians as my guests did. We are thankful for Ellie

I heard great things about the violinist, Ellie, by many of our guests and our wedding planner. Our wedding planner said she was great to work with and did really well with her cues. Thanks so much for helping to make our wedding day so special.

We used Atlantic String for our wedding reception cocktail hour. Our only regret is that we did not get to see them perform since we were busy taking pictures. According to the guests, their music was spectacular and their performance definitely added a touch of class to the affair. Thank you so much for playing at our wedding!

We were delighted with the beautiful string music played during our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. We went totally traditional during the wedding (Pachelbel's Canon, etc.). We also asked the duo to learn a non-traditional Wilco song that is special to us to be played after the ceremony. We were shooting pictures, and I unfortunately missed it!! But my husband said it was perfect! The cocktail music was perfect, they looked great, and I am very glad they were part of our fun party and special day.

The Atlantic String Ensemble functioned as the orchestra when we sang the Schubert Mass in G for our worship service. They were professional, pleasant, cooperative, and flexible. And, or course, they played well - paying attention to detail, taking direction, and contributing to the success of the performance with excellent skills and musicality. I highly recommend them and hope to work with them again.

The perfromers showed up on time, were dress appropriately, and played beautifully. I highly recommend Atlantic String Ensemble to anyone looking to make their wedding a special event.

Brian and Elle were friendly, talented, punctual, especially accomodating and very professional. They were excited about playing some of our more unconventional wedding music requests and did a spectacular job transforming a contemporary rock tune into a classical piece for our wedding march. Highly recommended!

I received RAVE reviews about the string trio playing at my wedding! Prior to the wedding (you know, when everything is chaos!), Ellie Bunker made everything so easy! What excellent customer service! I got more from this ensemble than what I payed for. I will definitely recommend the Atlantic String Ensemble to everyone!

Brian performed at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was wonderful. He arrived ontime to our somewhat remote wedding location and handled our special requests perfectly. He is a talented guitarist and a nice man to work with. I strongly recommend the Atlantic String Ensemble.

Atlantic String Ensemble recently played at our wedding ceremony on October 7th, 2006 in Palm Desert, California. They arrived on time and provided music prior to and during our ceremony.
Guests and I agreed that they sounded amazing!! Ellie is incredibly nice and accomodating. I enjoyed working with her very much. When their cellist had an unexpected injury just two days before our wedding, Ellie was able to secure an alternate with no problems. Although we had numerous sections during our Catholic ceremony that required music, the quartet was able to get the timing down easily. Also, the quartet was not familiar with a few of the pieces (Catholic hymnals) we requested, but found the sheet music and arranged it so that they could play the songs, which they did perfectly. My father-in-law told me after the ceremony that when he heard the quartet play Canon in D as I was walking down the aisle, it brought tears to his eyes because the music moved him so much.
I thought a string quartet would add an elegant touch during our ceremony, and that is exactly what I got with Atlantic String Ensemble. They are professional and extrememly talented. I definitely recommend them!
