Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 26, 2016•From Long Island City, NY
I was so impressed by Amy Bateman and the musicians she works with. I really challenged them by giving them original works to play that were not in their repetoire and they rose to the occassion, playing the difficult pieces flawlessly. One of the benefits of being in New York City is having access to musicians of this caliber for your wedding. You should feel honored and lucky if you are able to book them.

Charlie and his crew did such an amazing job at our wedding! Leading up to the point, he was calm, professional and very informative on how the process works! He was able to accommodate last minute requests we asked for! They showed up on time and slipped out unnoticed! My guests enjoyed the music during the cocktail hour and while waiting for me to come down the aisle! Excellent job, SO glad we decided to go with The New York String Ensemble!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 1, 2016•From Brooklyn, NY
I would definitely recommend The New York String Ensemble to anyone. Charlie Apicella, the head of the Ensemble, is very up-front, professional, and easy to worth with. Their rates are reasonable and their contract is straightforward. They are also flexible. Most importantly, their performance was phenomenal. They hit every cue and knew exactly when and how to cut off for different elements of the ceremony (in addition to processional and recessional music, we had short interludes for candle lighting during the ceremony which required the trio to find an appropriate time and manner to cease playing before the ceremony to continue.)
