We hired a string trio to play at our ceremony through Emily. They were fantastic and played beautifully! She was so helpful in determining which songs to play during the ceremony when I sent her a few options that I liked. My favorite part was being able to walk down the aisle to Love Story, it was so special!

We hired La Bella Musica for our Newport wedding! I had always dreamed of having a string trio at our ceremony. The process was easy, and we got so many compliments on how beautifully they played. If you’re thinking about it, just do it!

Thank you, Jackie, it was such a pleasure to play for you, William, and your family and friends! You lucked out with such a gorgeous day and we were so happy to be a part of it (especially with the songs you chose to have performed at your ceremony also)! Congratulations!

La Bella Musica was a pleasure to work with for my daughter's wedding. They sounded beautiful and they coordinated with the church organist perfectly! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

If there was one single vendor that exceeded our expectation and then some more during our wedding, it was La Bella Musica!
We were very tight on our budget after my husband's recent lay-off close to our wedding date, but live string music was one thing I could not give up.
Emily was able to guide us through the best option to have the elegant live string music for our wedding. (I am sure if we opted for quartet instead, it would have been even more MINDBLOWING)
So many guests were praising the beautiful music, and every time I watch the videoclips from the wedding day, their music just melts my heart.
Thank you La Bella Musica,
I cannot thank you enough!

La Bella Musica was phenomenal! Every guest raved about how fabulous the music was. The fact that they play contemporary as well as traditional music was a huge factor in deciding to hire them. La Bella Music was our wedding gift to our niece who is anything but traditional. The groom came down the aisle to "Love and Marriage" and Amy came down the aisle to "The Theme from Game of Thrones". Not only were the bride and groom over the moon about La Bella Musica, but also the guests, and her aunt and uncle. I cannot say enough about La Bella Musica. They are very talented musicians who could provide music at either a traditional or other wedding.

Working with Emily was a pleasure. She accommodated our last minute request to play at our wedding in Boston. She was easy to work with, replied to emails promptly and was so helpful with song suggestions. Though my husband and I didn't actually meet her at the wedding, we could obviously hear the music-it was amazing. So many guests complimented us on the choice throughout the night. Thank you for everything!

La Bella played the ceremony for our daughter's wedding on July 28. The garden setting was perfect for the string quartet and they sounded amazing! Throughout the entire planning process of selecting the music for the wedding Emily Chen was very helpful. She immediately responded to every email and gave great advice. Listening to the beautiful music as we all made our entrance, especially as our daughter walked down the aisle to Canon in D had me choked up with emotion, it was so beautiful. We received many compliments and can't say enough about how pleased we are to have chosen this most talented group. I would highly recommend them for any formal occasion.

They were early to the ceremony, we had great communications, and even when I was unsure about picking material, they helped me every step of the way. They even helped me arrange a piece I wrote and stayed patient with me as I revised the piece a few times. I had many people tell me that they were absolutely wonderful. Highly, highly recommended, and I will definitely go to them first for my next function!! Thanks again La Bella Musica!!

La Bella did an amazing job providing music for our wedding ceremony. We picked mainly songs by well known artists (The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Adele) and they performed it beautifully! We would 100% recommend La Bella for a wedding or any other type of event. They were very easy to work with and we got exactly what we asked for!!!

We had La Bella Musica for our wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour immediately following. We hired a trio (Lydia Lis - violin, Lauren Gage - viola and Morgan Santos on cello). They were so so great and I am so glad that we were able to hire them. They were a pleasure to work with and the music was absolutely beautiful. It really helped to create the classic feeling we were going for. I highly highly recommend them, perfect for a wedding ceremony.

La Bella Musica was awesome, and my contact, Emily Chen, was fantastic. They learned two songs for me - one was very special, as they accompanied me when I sang to my husband at the ceremony. It was perfect. I would absolutely recommend La Bella Musica to anyone and everyone.

La Bella Musica performed at my May 16th wedding at Belle Mer, and they were great! Guests said the prelude music was beautiful. I walked into Canon in D it sounded perfect -- apparently this song in particular had my mom in tears. During the cocktail hour they played a mix of both classical and contemporary tunes and it set a very elegant feel. I worked mostly with Emily Chen and she always responded to my emails quickly and was helpful in suggesting classical songs for various parts of the ceremony. Overall they are great musicians and very professional and I would highly recommend them!

La Bella Musica (Morgan Santos and Emily Chen) played for my daughter's wedding and they were simply wonderful. Many of our guests--some of them musicians themselves--commented on the beauty of the performance. Their performance was flawless, their repertoire varied and their professionalism perfect. La Bella Musica was recommended to me by a friend and I would not hesitate to recommend these lovely and talented young women. Thank you!

I hired Emily and her quartet for our wedding, on something of a last minute time frame. She worked very well with what we wanted to do, and agreed to learn a song that we had arranged just for the day. On the day of the wedding, I gave them a specific schedule to follow; which they did, until they realized that something was wrong elsewhere... the bridal party wasn't ready! They filled in perfectly with absolute professionalism. I can't express what peace of mind I had having such professional musicians behind me on this day. I would recommend them to any one.

It was a pleasure having La Bella Musica play at our proposal dinner. They worked with Gracie's restaurant to help me pull off a surprise proposal dinner for my girlfriend....WOW was she surprised!!!! La Bella Musica are extremely professional and they provided an awsome ambience for our dinner. Emily and Morgan were very cordial, flexible and their performance and musical selections were exceptional....very well done!!!!! We will definitely be booking them for our wedding. Thank you La Bella Musica!

The duo was simply magical! They were accomplished, talented and a joy to listen to. From the wedding on the beach, to the champagne reception afterwards, they added an air of elegance and enjoyment for all to the occasion. As we had no particular music selction chosen beforehand, they did a marvelous job with the selection as well... We would hire them again in a heartbeat!!
