Arabesque Ensembles was amazing. They were very easy to work with and they did such a great job playing at the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.
Micaela is the real deal — and her quartet is, too. My new wife(!) is a classically-trained musician, and she was impressed by their work. As we were taking photos in a nearby garden before the ceremony, we could hear the quartet beginning the prelude music from across the estate — and it sounded exactly as it should, even from that far away. It was so beautifully paced & performed. And everything leading up to the wedding day was planned to perfection, with patience and kindness. We'd recommend this group in a heartbeat.
They completely exceeded all my expectations, simply beautiful!

Response from Arabesque Ensembles:
Thank you so much for your kind review! We loved playing for your beautiful wedding!
Jess (violin) and Paul (cello) were a delightful addition to the cocktail hour of our son & new daughter-in-law's wedding reception. The guests really enjoyed the beautiful music that these two talented musicians provided during the hour. It was so easy to with both of them and their manager, Micaela, to determine which songs they would play from their repertoire list. We are so happy that they made our lovely celebration so special!
Response from Arabesque Ensembles:
Thank you so much for taking the time to write out this kind review, Donna. It was such a beautiful celebration and we were so thankful to provide the live soundtrack for it!
Arabesque Ensembles offers a spectacular arrangement of musical accompaniment for any event. They played beautifully at my wedding, adding the perfect classical touch to the greatest day of my life. They were punctual, professional, and talented. I would recommend them for any occasion.
We began working with this company prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately we had to cancel our first planned wedding and then rescheduled it for a later date. The manager has been very professional and understanding during the process and quickly found us some musicians who would suit our smaller wedding. We received so many compliments on the violinists during and after our wedding reception. They were incredible. They helped make our day beautiful in the midst of a pandemic.
The musicians are well trained (Cleveland Institute of Music, I think) and were incredibly professional, punctual, and very clear with their pricing. Absolutely recommended for any event!
The string quartet music was incredible. I hired the Arabesque Ensembles to play music for my daughter's wedding and it made the her wedding day so special. They could play so many different types of music from Canon in D to pop covers, which was so impressive. Would recommend them to anyone looking for professional, fun musicians that are easy to work with!
