Review by Patrick C.

WeddingReviewed on September 19, 2023From Nashua, NH

Communication in preparation for the event was excellent. The musicians arrived early and configured the performance areas as needed. The music was excellent and included a new arrangement of a requested piece of music. The guests were very impressed and the sights and sounds of the live performance added an exclamation point to the day.

The Amherst String Ensemble:

Thank you Patrick, and congratulations! It was a honor being part of your special day. -Charlie

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 8, 2022From Lenox, MA

From the start the expectations were clearly stated and on the day of the wedding event, they far exceeded those expectations! They accommodated our special requests, and when the outdoor wedding looked like it was going to be ruined due to unexpected rain showers, they helped rescue the wedding and made the day extra special for the wedding party by entertaining our guests. They went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute requests as well.

The Amherst String Ensemble:

Hello Earl, thank you for the kind words. It was pleasure working with you every step of the way. We wish the couple the absolute best.

Extremely professional, accommodating and top-notch quality. I am only disappointed in that I can't rank higher than 6 stars. Made my daughter's wedding a dream come true!

The music sounded so very beautiful both in the church and at the reception, it was more than we could have prayed or hoped for. My husband and I truly enjoyed the classical string trio.Our guests were delighted and thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the day.Several guests commented on how not only what an excellent time they had but just how perfect and elegant everything was, my mother included in that review. I would strongly recommend the amherst string ensemble for others events without hesitation.The string trio helped make our vision of our wedding day come true.We truly appreciated the pure talent, professionalism, and quality of all involved.

We have spent the last ten days reflecting upon our daughter Linda's wedding. We must thank Amy and the ensemble for the special ceremony music. Your playing was a wonderful accompaniment to the cool, colorful fall afternoon. We appreciate the time spent rehearsing with our soloist. The rendition of "All I Ask of You" brought tears to our eyes. So many of our guests have commented on the beautiful blending of the site and music. Your professionalism helped to make Linda and Ben's wedding day truly memorable. With appreciation, The family of Linda and Ben

They got there on tme, worked up a new piece for the event and were responsive to email communications. At least one person attending the event asked for a card. Would recommend them highly.

The Amherst String Ensemble provided a stellar musical performance for my son’s wedding last weekend. They even performed a piece for the Recessional that was composed especially for my son and his bride, by his father. It was lovely, and we have received many compliments on the music. Thank you, again, Amy Bateman for providing such an exquisite trio; and, kudos to the musicians! Shari Garton

The Amherst String Ensemble was an excellent find for us. It was a last-minute hire, and they were exceptional. Their music made our daughter's wedding very special as they worked with us on a couple of special requests. Many of the guests commented on how lovely the music was, and I couldn't agree more!

The Amherst String Ensemble was exremely professional, personal, and extremely talented. Their balance and blending was spot on! their mixing of different types and styles of music plaased everyone at the wedding. The playing gave the wedding a great touch and sound for the wedding. Being a violin player myself, I was very impressed as to their music ability and blending in all the music they played. I would not hesitate to hire them again and again at twice the fee they charged! Thanks so much ASE! - Greg Straut
