all our requests. Many of guests wondered where we found such a great ensemble. It was a magical day and the Arundel Ensemble helped make it that way!
We first encountered Arundel at the Austin Bridal Extravaganza. I listened to multiple other ensembles but was most impressed with their sound and their professionalism. They excee...
ded my expectations in every way. Many of the guests commented on how fantastic they sounded and I was pleased that they came through in every way. They were on time ( the past several weddings I attended the musicians were late) and the cost was extremely reasonable. I would book them in the future and highly recommend them without reservations. Margaret was very responsive and they allowed my 15 year old son to plan the cello when his sister walked down the aisle. They helped fulfill one of my daughters wedding dreams. There is no other ensemble but Arundel!

gs. What can I say, I married a sentimental traditionalist! :)
When it came time to selecting the right ceremony musicians, I immediately thought of Arundel Ensemble. I have had the pleasure of working with Margaret and her team at multiple weddings I've planned and coordinated. I always find her staff to be on time, prepared, and sounding beautiful. Arundel Ensemble's rates are competitive and I love that they offer a mix of contemporary and classical music offerings so you don't have to choose classical pieces for every song.
I highly recommend that you consider Arundel Ensemble for your next event!

what we wanted to hear on our special day. Our wedding was very intimate, and our string trio was an integral part of our ceremony and reception. Not only was the music most meaningful and wonderful, but the whole scenario became even more picturesque just by them being present with us. I would whole heartedly recommend placing your trust in the Arundel Ensemble's experience and expertise. We had no worries about the music on our perfect wedding day, and were so grateful for having chosen the best!

rfully professional, easy to work with, and provided the highest quality musicianship! They helped with music selection, but were also willing to make "game time" decisions and adjustments that accommodated a more relaxed ceremony structure. We could not have been more pleased. I also found them surprisingly affordable for such a high quality product! We used a three piece string group.
