Working with Jennifer was absolutely amazing! There were a few songs that I wanted to be part of the day that she did not have, so she brought in an arranger to get the songs composed to be played on the big day. The quartet was one of my favorite parts of the day! It would not have been the same without them! I could not recommend Jennifer enough. If you are looking for a quartet, there is no one better!

We had the Harp and the Flute for our Wedding Ceremony. The music was incredible. The musicians are so talented! The music was perfect!
Jennifer was instrumental with her organization, scheduling and music selections.

If you want your wedding to be one to remember I would highly recommend Jennifer! We had a string trio for our ceremony and we were completely blown away. Standing up at the altar hearing them play was overwhelmingly magical. As the groom, I was able to hear how perfect the instruments filled the room and made the entire experience complete. It truly made the ceremony special and I cannot imagine it without them. Jennifer and her team are spectacular and so easy to work with. I cannot recommend them enough and I wish I could relive that moment everyday!

We used Ambrosia Ensembles for our ceremony and cocktail hour music and we are so happy that we did! With just three weeks left until our wedding reception we were still on the fence about whether we wanted to hire additional music besides our wedding DJ. Then, we attended a wedding where a solo guitarist- Carol- was performing and we decided to reach out to see if she was available for our wedding given how much we enjoyed her performance at a friend’s wedding. Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to coordinate with and we were able to book Carol, who was phenomenal.

Ambrosia Ensembles were absolutely fantastic. Jennifer was professional and on point from the first time I spoke with her. Easy to work with and reasonably priced - and made sure everything came together even though we hired them last minute. Of all the vendors for my wedding, I was probably the most demanding on my musicians. I had a specific list of songs that I wanted played at certain times - Jennifer worked with me and made sure we had everything perfect right down to the tempo. The quartet adds something special to the church service and I am so happy that we decided to use Ambrosia as they were top notch. Thanks again everyone!

My husband and I had decided on a string quartet for the ceremony very last minute. Ambrosia Ensembles was recommended to us by a family friend, and I am so glad we contacted them. Initially I was thinking we would go the traditional route with music, but I decided I wanted to walk down the aisle to a non-traditional song. My request was not on their list of songs, but they told me they could purchase the sheet music for a small fee. I was dead set on having this song played, so we went ahead with it. I was completely unsure of how it would turn out, but on the day of the wedding, I found that I need not worry at all. Their string quartet arrangement of the song was absolutely perfect, and I'm so happy I went non-traditional. This is a fantastic ensemble, and reasonably priced. Anyone looking for a string quartet needn't look any further.

This was something else my guests could not stop talking about. The music was beautiful and was enjoyed by everyone. At first, we were just going to use their services for just hte cceremony, but I am so pleased we decided to also use it during cocktail hour. Jennifer is amazing and knows so much.

My wedding was magically beautiful from start to finish. There was not a stone left unturned, for our guests have told us so. All of our selected vendors perfectly fit our wedding day picture, except one person : Jennifer Gravenstein, our Cellist. We had hired her to play the cello for 1 hour for our ceremony. The ceremony started 15 minutes later than expected. Jennifer stopped playing 40 minutes into what she was paid for, storming into the venue, asking to speak to my moms spouse, advising them that "her arms/shoulders were tired and hurting her" and wondering when the ceremony was going to begin. We paid her for an hour and sheshould have never stopped playing and no less ruin that precious time given to a person right before they are walking down the aisle. She then abruptly and angrily came up to us, directly after were just wed, with a demand of payment for the extra 10 minutes that she played, which totaled an extra $75.00. We did not have cash on us, for we literally just walked down the aisle together. My spouse asked her if we could Mail the payment to her and she refused that option, stating out of breath and in a panicked behavior- that would not work and she would need the money for her 10 minutes extra of payment. I then asked my wedding coordinator to find my pocket book and take out a $100.00 bill and just give it to her. I wanted her bad and negative energy away from me and my guests. There was something clearly wrong with her, for her behavior was not normal to society and was not acceptable. Our guests also stated that towards the end of the ceremony, she clearly sounded tired or/and angry for the music sounded easy and obscure. My spouse and I never heard the music played, but that may have just been because we were in our own tunnel vision...on our special day. I would never recommend Jennifer Gravenstein, for she did not fit our energy, nor was she professional or even fulfill her obligation of services, that she was paid for.

We received nothing but rave reviews from our guest about the music played at the ceremony.
We used the Violin & Cello duo to play during the prelude and the ceremony. The music was beautiful and made the ceremony extra special.
Preparation for the wedding went smoothly. I needed help selecting music and Jennifer had great ideas! She was easy to talk to and to get a hold of incase I had any questions. I have absolutely no complaints about their quality service & value.
