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.

September 27, 2021Lovely music for a perfect day
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.
