Ambrosia Ensembles

verything 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!

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.

cceremony, but I am so pleased we decided to also use it during cocktail hour. Jennifer is amazing and knows so much.

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.

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.
