Reposting my review from "Wedding Wire":
Musicians from Ambience Live performed at our engagement party in May of 2026. We requested a string quartet to play background classical music for the "reception" portion, and that was all the information they needed, performing the perfect soundtrack for the event. All musicians were from the prestigious Julliard. They were a fantastic addition that elevated our event - super organized and on the ball. I couldn't recommend them enough!
I could not recommend Ambience Live more highly! With only 48 hours’ notice, I needed live musicians for my wedding and they somehow pulled together an incredible ensemble at such short notice.
The musicians were amazing and added such a beautiful atmosphere to the day. The entire process was seamless, incredibly responsive, and their pricing was also far more reasonable than other options I’d looked at.
I’m so grateful they were able to make it happen so last minute. If you’re looking for live music for your wedding or event, Ambience Live is incredible!
