I definitely recommend Ensemble Aevia! The music was perfect and they were great to work with. Thanks for helping make our ceremony beautiful!!
We had such an amazing experience with Ensemble Aevia from the very beginning! Communication and attentiveness was incredible. We could not have asked for more special entertainment- everything we could’ve ever wanted and more! Anne-Marie, David and Bo played beautifully. Walking down the aisle to this music made all my dreams come true. Our guests were so impressed and continue to rave about Ensemble Aevia! Thank you again!
Very easy to work with prior to the wedding and sounded incredible during the ceremony! Highly recommend to any bride & groom for their ceremony, cocktail hour and/or reception.
I wanted to express our thanks for all that you did to help us celebrate a wonderful wedding at Cold Storage Beach and the Pamet Club. We are grateful for all of your terrific advice, kind words, and stunning music! Your ensemble is precise and elegant. As a musician, I so appreciate and understand the gift of the Trio to our family on that day. Thank you, thank you.
Ensemble Aevia provided amazing music for our ceremony at a private home in Chatham, MA. Matthew was incredibly helpful planning everything and the musicians performed beautifully on the day of the wedding. They even were able to find an arrangement for the Bruce Springsteen song we wanted to use for our recessional! I would highly recommend working with them.
I highly recommend Ensemble Aevia!!! I hired them for my daughter's wedding on Cape Cod in May, 2019. Matt was always extremely responsive, accommodating, and very easy to work with. When we arrived at the church an hour before the wedding, the church just had a couple of close relatives in it, but the quartet was already set up and playing (as I had hoped!). As I went up to introduce myself they warmly greeted me and they played so beautifully, their music brought tears to my eyes. Ensemble Aevia brought a wonderful sense of beauty and serenity to my daughter and son in law's special day!
Ensemble Aevia played my daughter’s wedding at The Omni Mount Washington on June 8, 2019. As a professional musician myself, I was prepared to have some sort of criticism of their performance but I can honestly say they exceeded my expectations in every way. The musicians were early to the wedding, very personable, but most importantly, their playing was to the highest standard I could have wished for. They played every requested piece with precision and artistry and I only wish I had booked them for the entirety of the reception instead of just the three hours of pre service, ceremony, and cocktail hour. I will add that I found their fee very reasonable and Matthew was very easy and pleasant to work with. Thanks, Ensemble Aevia, for making a most important part of my daughter’s wedding perfect.
AMAZING! Matt was such a pleasure to work with from the beginning. He was attentive and responsive to my questions and concerns. We had a Star Wars themed wedding and when I requested they play the Imperial March.. they did not disappoint! My guests are still messaging me about how it was the perfect end to the ceremony and of course... very us. Very US. Thank you Matt and Ensemble Aevia! You rocked!
Ensemble Aevia was such a fantastic addition to our wedding day. They were able to learn and perform several songs we requested for our processional and recessional beautifully, and added a really nice elegant feel to our ceremony. We are so glad we chose to work with these talented musicians!
Amazing experience from start to finish! Great communication, most reasonable price. They performed during my wedding and contrail hour. It was everything I had dreamed of!
We had a wonderful experience with Ensemble Aevia. Matthew was great to work with leading up to the big day. He was easy to reach, gave great suggestions, and made me feel comfortable that everything would go smoothly... and it did. The music was perfect for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. I highly recommend Ensemble Aevia!
Wonderful service and beautiful music.... 5 stars to them alll! Can’t say enough good about Matt and his crew
Matthew was a pleasure to work with, and the musicians were a delight! We hired the string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Matthew was professional and prompt with all correspondence, and worked with us to choose our music. Hearing the song we chose played beautifully on strings as I walked down the aisle was absolute bliss. We asked Matt if the group could play an older alternative song for a particular part of the ceremony, and the group learned it and played it beautifully for us! Overall a lovely experience and I highly recommend Ensemble Aevia to anyone, especially someone looking to elevate an outdoor ceremony. Thanks Matt!
I am so glad that we had Ensemble Aevia do the music for our outdoor wedding ceremony this summer! Matt was super-responsive and made the process so easy. The music was a beautiful part of our day.
Matthew from Ensemble Aevia was fantastic to work with. He was responsive, organized and provided much welcomed guidance through the music selection process. My daughter's wedding was the dream we hoped it to be, with much thanks to the music, thank you Ensemble Aevia.
We hired Ensemble Aevia to play for our wedding in Gilford, NH. Matt was very pleasant to work with during the planing stage and he was extremely patients with us as we selected our music. On the bid day they showed up well before hand, easy to work with, and there music was beautiful. If you are looking for a professional, respectful, and talented group for you big day you need not look any further then Ensemble Aevia.
Ensemble Aevia was amazing! They were professional on every level. The music was great and created a very classical ambience for our ceremony and cocktail hour. we could not have been happier!
Matt was one of the kindest professionals I’ve worked with. His suggestions and his ability to help us realize our vision helped create the most beautiful ceremony. Highly recommend.
I am SO happy that I chose Ensemble Aevia for my wedding ceremony! Communicating with Matt was a breeze from the beginning. He understood what I wanted and was happy to accommodate it. I even asked to switch around or cut out certain parts of songs and he was more than happy to do this for me. On my wedding day, the musicians were amazing! The music was beautiful and timed perfectly. I could not have asked for anything better. I would definitely recommend Ensemble Aevia to anyone!
Matthew was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish! He responded quickly to all of my emails and inquiries, payment to him was easy, and he performed beautifully at my cocktail hour with Grace. I highly recommend using Ensemble Aevia!
Ensemble Aevia was just the detail we were looking for to make our wedding ceremony unique and romantic. When I reached out to Matt, he promptly responded and went through the various options Ensemble Aevia could provide for our ceremony. Given our ceremony was only 45 minutes long, we decided on a solo cellist. I sent Matt a few classical covers for modern songs, and the cellist was able to provide honest feedback as to what songs would sound best with his instrument. We received so many complements on the professionalism of the musician and beauty of the music. Thanks Ensemble Aevia for being one of the least stressful part of planning a wedding!!!
Ensemble Aevia did an excellent job with our ceremony music! Highly recommended!
Matthew and his team played gorgeos music with a violin/cello duo at my wedding this past September. Matthew found the sheet music for one particular song I asked for and managed to perfectly capture the emotion of the day. I’m very grateful for the skilled musicians who played and for Matthew’s guidance along the way!
Matthew and the Ensemble Aevia were amazing at our wedding. The music they played was perfect for my daughter's wedding. They were troopers too as it started to drizzle, the wedding planners got some umbrella's and the show kept going! Highly recommend them for your wedding planning. Excellent musicians.
Very easy to work with and talented!
Ensemble Aevia was fantastic! We had a barn-themed outdoor wedding which required some transportation between the ceremony site (field) and the reception site (barn), but they were so easy and fantastic to work with - so good that people didn't even know that they had arrived and set up at the locations until they heard them playing! Matt was awesome to deal with during the planning stages as well, very helpful and knowledgeable. The musicians had excellent quality sound as well, all of the guests were very impressed. We had looked at multiple different musicians to perform at our wedding and we would hire Ensemble Aevia 10/10 times!
The team assembled was great. Each player was very skilled and very versatile with different types of songs. They sounded beautiful.
Anne-Marie and Tim played music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was amazing! They were very accommodating and played a special piece for me to walk down the aisle. I was very happy with the performance and I highly recommend them!
Ensemble Aevia helped create the perfect setting for my wedding ceremony. I wanted a couple of songs that weren't on their repertoire list but they completely accommodated me and they sounded wonderful. I was a little nervous that I wouldn't be able to hear any of it until the big day but they were very professional and I didn't need to worry. The prices were a little steep for half an hour but I was very happy with the result! I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to use live musicians for their wedding.
We were recently wed in June.. Dana and Kevin had played for our ceremony and reception.. we couldn't have asked for better musicians.. they were magical! Thank you guys!
Sarah and John Columb
Ensemble Aevia did an amazing job at our wedding. We used them for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Matt was great to work with - he was very professional and responsive. We had the trio play a mix of more modern pieces for the prelude and cocktail hour and traditional classical pieces for the ceremony itself. They were terrific at both. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for string music during their ceremony or cocktail hour.
Musicians were very talented. Wonderful asset to our intimate wedding ceremony.
I was a music major, and was ironically very organized about all aspects of my wedding...except the music. Working with Matthew was so easy--He already had three events booked the day of our wedding, but he still managed to find us an unbelievable soloist who played at both of our ceremonies (traditional Episcopal service in a chapel, followed by traditional Jewish ceremony outdoors). We went with every suggestion Matthew made for our services, and it really added to the overall event. I would absolutely recommend Ensemble Aevia.
I am so grateful to have had Ensemble Aevia play at our wedding ceremony. They performed so beautiful and really played a major role in making our ceremony romantic and truly magical. We are so thankful!
Ensemble Aevia was amazing and made the day that much more special!! Could not recommend enough!
Our daughter's wedding was a beautiful, individual and a somewhat eclectic event. The String Ensemble, Aevia, added the dimensions of a classical and sophisticated environment which was important both to my daughter and to myself. The ‘Sounds of Strings’ filled the Quaint Chapel in the White Mountains. Classical arrangements by Bach, Mozart, Pergolese and Vivaldi as well as some of their other favorites for example pieces by Sting and from ‘The Sound of Music’ were played both during the ceremony and the cocktail hour. Many guests shared 'wonderful' feedback about the background music played by 'Ensemble Aevia'. Thank you Matt, Aeri and Kevin. Sincerely, Mother of the Bride.
I hired Matthew for my wedding this past July. I hired two violinist and they were truly wonderful. From the start, he was always available to answer my questions and to go over the plan for the day. He offered to drive from my wedding ceremony to the reception down the street to finish the time I hired him for. I also requested a specific song for him to play, and he learned it and played it exactly as I asked!! Very professional, very nice, and his pricing was the best compared to everyone I asked. I highly recommend him and his fellow musicians if you are looking for someone! Thank you Matthew for making my day perfect!
A string duo from Ensemble Aevia played for the ceremony and cocktail hour at my wedding and they were amazing. Matt is very responsive to emails/questions and helpful in making song selections. My ceremony started late which caused cocktail hour to start and end late and they just kept on playing in the hot June sun! I only wish I got to enjoy them more, but I was a very busy bride. I got tons of compliments from the guests though! Definitely recommend them!
Couldn't have been happier with Ensemble Aevia's performance at our wedding and cocktail hour. Their music provided a really elegant, fun, and unique touch to the whole event, and we continue to receive compliments from guests! We especially appreciated their flexibility to learn our special request songs- along with their expertise and honesty regarding what songs would work best on strings, and which may not translate as well. The processional arrangement, in particular, was beautiful and exactly as we'd hoped. Everyone we I spoke with very much enjoyed and appreciated your music, and we had a few engaged couple friends request the ensembles information from us following the event- saying their music had inspired them to want string instrumentals for their special events, as well! If you're looking for a unique touch and quality performers (at a reasonable rate), we highly recommend Ensemble Aevia!
Good Value, Easy to Work with, Highly Responsive...and wonderful music to boot.
We really liked their music and they made our lives so easy.
I hired Ensemble Aevia to play at my daughters wedding at the top of Loon Mt. on May 28, 2016. They played as our guest arrived to set the mood and when I walked my daughter down the aisle was just beautiful. Thank you Ensemble Aevia for making my daughters wedding day perfect.
Thank you so much for the wonderful music you provided at our daughter’s wedding in the Colgate Garden at Lake Sunapee followed by the cocktail hour at the Yacht Club. You were extremely easy to work with, prompt, and flexible. Your music was exemplary and appreciated by all. You surpassed our expectations.
We used Ensemble Aevia for our ceremony music. We were so pleased! Very professional and prompt ! Played our music exactly how we wanted and beautifully. We made a specially request for a certain song to be played as we walked out of the church and this was done perfectly. Music was also played outside during our receiving line and as guest mingled outside of the church- set a wonderful tone! Needless to say we received a lot of compliments and were very happy with the music!
My very favorite part of my daughter's wedding was the music. Ensemble Aevia gracefully and seamlessly added elegance to the ceremony and cocktail hour. Matthew is a gentlemen to talk with and in handling business. I was grateful they were willing to perform on Cape Cod. A delightful experience. Thank you, Matthew and friends!
Ensemble Aevia was fantastic. They helped us pick arrangements that we loved, and played them to perfection. They sounded so beautiful.
Working with them was an absolute pleasure.
Ensemble Aevia was professional, timely and had a beautiful repertoire to choose from. The duo sounded brilliant (we had an outdoor wedding) and created a flawless ceremony. They were kind to start early and finish late- all of our guests were very impressed! Thank you for helping create our perfect wedding weekend, Matthew and Ensemble Aevia!
Ensemble Aevia did an incredible job at our wedding! We had a family friend sing for our ceremony and Matt worked directly with him so I didn't have to worry about a thing! Matt was so helpful and accommodating the entire time. For the ceremony we had an organist, cellist and violinist. They sounded amazing together! Then for cocktail hour and dinner we had the cellist, violinist and a harpist. My husband and I received so many compliments from our guests stating how wonderful they sounded together and how it really added something special to our wedding. We would definitely recommend Matt and Ensemble Aevia for any event! You will definitely be getting to notch musicians!
We worked with Matt at Ensemble Aevia to have a violin and cello play during our ceremony. He was really great and efficient in helping pick music that would work best for the ceremony. Everything went off without a hitch and was perfectly wonderful! I would highly recommend Ensemble Aevia to anyone looking to add a soloist all the way to a quartet to their event.
Matthew really did a great job! I told them what I wanted and they made it happen. They were timely and very professional. We did not have to worry about them the day of, they new exactly what to do!
I just used Ensemble Aevia in my wedding on September 26, 2015 and I had the most wonderful experience with them! Matt was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and was really invested in making the music appropriate for our taste, as well as appropriate for our ceremony (it was a Jewish ceremony and the ensemble provided us with wonderful traditional music during the recessional.) As a classically trained violinist myself, I can say that the quality of this group is superb. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend using them in your wedding!
Matt and his talented team of musicians did not disappoint! We hired Ensemble Aveia (cellist and violinist) for our wedding at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.
They played both during our ceremony and cocktail hour; we were so glad to have extended their play time beyond the ceremony. Many of our guests commented that our live musical talent added an extra special element to our day; classy, unique, calming, and joyful. I am especially impressed with their performance during our ceremony, as it was an incredibly windy day and certainly made things a bit tricky (we were married outside, under the south veranda). Matt and his team handled this challenge with such grace.
Matt was responsive and clear with communication. Once we had identified our selection of songs for our ceremony, he was helpful in assuring us that our selection was workable and appropriate. This was a huge relief, as we initially felt overwhelmed with the process of music selection. Matt was also helpful in working with our event timeline, remaining flexible in arrival and departure times. All in all, a very stress free experience!
We cannot emphasize enough all of the positive attributes to working with Ensemble Aevia. Rest assured that if you opt to hire them for your special occasion, you’ll be in good hands!
This group made the ceremony! They drove from NH to my wedding in Harvard, MA with no travel fee. I had a couple special requests to be played prior to the ceremony happening and they followed through.
We used Ensemble Aevia for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. They did an amazing job! Everyone was commenting on how beautiful the music was. It was an elegant touch to our wedding. When we had our phone consultation with Matt, he was extremely helpful, friendly and insightful. They have a broad selection of music that they can play and they are also willing to learn new music. I highly recommend them!
We had a Trio play while guests were arriving for the wedding and then had them play after the ceremony. They were absolutely fantastic! Very professional, well dressed and so polite. The Trio was wonderful for our outdoor wedding and it added a touch of class. We were so happy with this decision and choice of vendor. You will not be disappointed with Ensemble Aevia. They were also able to play our wedding song "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri as I walked down to the Arch for the ceremony. I was just thrilled with that. Everything went smoothly.
We hired a string trio through Ensemble Aevia to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very professional, have a large repertoire, and were very adaptable to last-minute ideas and changes in the ceremony program. Their timing/coordination during the ceremony was seamless. I barely had to think about the music, just enjoy it, and that was wonderful!
Matt was great to work with! The music was beautiful at our ceremony!
We hired Matt and his group for our wedding. They were wonderful! Very professional, punctual, and knew exactly what we wanted. They also communicated very well before the event, helping to clarify how things would play out at the wedding. We can't recommend them highly enough.
I cannot in words fully express how thankful I am for the service Ensemble Aevia (Matthew) provided or what a beautiful difference his duo made to our wedding.
All communications were made by email and telephone, due to my time constraints. Nevertheless, Matthew was thorough and ensured that he fully understood my vision for the day. I provided a list of desired songs and Matthew helped me to adjust the list based on his expertise. He was helpful and not at all pushy. Also, he was more than happy to include Coldplay's Viva la Vida (A surprise for my husband - one of his favorite songs).
The day of the wedding Matthew and his fellow musician arrived early and were set up well before the first guest arrived. They were unobtrusive - quietly preparing in the garden area. And they were friendly and cordial to all the guests.
Now regarding their performance, the most important part, they were phenomenal. We could not have asked for more. They began playing as guests arrived and they played after the service till all guests had left the seating area. Because our guests lingered and picture taking took longer than expected Matthew played longer than the three hours scheduled, with no complaint. And did I mention that they did this in the blazing sun - they left tired and a bit red but still smiling.
Ensemble Aevia musicians are talented, professional, and a joy to have at your wedding. We will remember them fondly.
Thank you SO much!
I called Ensemble Aevia after another quartet dropped out on me. It was last minute, but Matt put everything together for us and honored our music requests. He was super easy to work with and very friendly. I only got to hear the ceremony music but it was so beautiful and made our ceremony so classy! Our guests loved the cocktail hour music as well. Thank you Ensemble Aevia!
We are so thrilled that we hired the Ensemble Aevia quartet to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour for our October 18th wedding on Cape Cod.
From the very start, they were professional, accomodating and made the planning process so easy and stress free.
The best tool they offer for planning was their website - it helped us tremendously - it contained all the information we needed to plan, as well as audio clips of music we could listen to to help make our choices. It made the planning so streamlined and enjoyable!
One the day of our wedding, the their sound was the icing on the cake for our ceremony in particular, and was a great accompianment to the cocktail hour. Their talents are amazing!
Matthew and his team are the best - our guests went out of their way to tell us how great they thought Aevia was. We look forward to hiring them again in the future!
My husband and I were so pleased that we chose Ensemble Aevia for our wedding ceremony music. Matt was super friendly and easy to work with. Our wedding logistics weren't simple, but Matt and the musicians were more than willing to travel to our location and then hop aboard boats to get to our ceremony at Church Island on Squam Lake in Holderness, NH. The music was lovely and just what we wanted!
Ensemble Aevia played so beautifully at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour I am so glad we had them there! Matthew was so great to work with always available to answer my questions and they even played the selected song I wanted for walking down the aisle. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful addition to their wedding ceremony The music was amazing!! Thank you again to Matthew and Enseble Aevia.
Mathew was a pleasure to work with and well organized. The musicians were professional and played beautifully. They were willing to take my daughter's ideas and work with her. I highly recommend Ensemble Aevia for any event and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
My husband and I went back and forth debating on what type of music we wanted for the ceremony. We finally made our decision and went with Ensemble Aevia, and WHAT A GREAT DECISION! We were so happy with the outcome and our guests after the wedding couldn't stop commenting on how nice the music sounded before the ceremony started. Working with Matt was great, he was always timely with communication and confirming payment which is a blessing in an otherwise stressful time. You will not regret having the Aevia musicians at your wedding or any other event for that matter!
We had a wonderful experience working with Matthew from Ensemble Aevia. He took the time to run through different options for our ceremony, and had great suggestions. The music was beautiful, we couldn't have worked with a better group of musicians.
We hired Ensemble Aevia for our beach wedding and we couldn't have been happier. They played for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. The guests loved them and walking down the isle to string music was amazing. They were so easy to work with and helped me pick out all the songs we needed for the ceremony. They were also reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Ensemble Aevia.
I cannot imagine better ceremony music- they were tremendous.
Matt and his team of professional musicians made my wedding day very special. It was easy to communicate with Matt and get the music I wanted. I had them set-up down on the lawn near the beach for the ceremony and had them move up to the area of the reception. I enjoyed all the pieces they played, not to mention they were all very professionally dressed. Other than a blue canopy Matt put up to protect the instruments from the sun, I would give this ensemble 2 thumbs up. ( I would recommend a white canopy to complete the elegance) ♫
Ensemble Aevia played as a string trio at our ceremony - they did an outstanding job. They were at the church well in advance of the ceremony, coordinated effectively with the church musician regarding psalms and hymns, and played our selected processional and recessional music beautifully. They were easy to deal with in the months leading up to the ceremony (and even on the day of) and we were very pleased with their professionalism and overall performance. We highly recommend using them for ceremony music!
-Meredith and Vincent
Our musicians were wonderful! They were extremely professional and the music was absolutely beautiful. During the planning process, Matt was very responsive and able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them!
We hired the Emsemble Aevia duo of Kevin and Dana to play during our outdoor wedding ceremony in Newport, RI on May 25, 2014 and they did a fantastic job.
Prior to the big day - we worked with Matthew Green to organize the logistics and playlist. It was stress free and Matthew was very helpful answering our questions. The songs I chose for the bridal party walking down the aisle, and then the bride walking down the aisle were Flower Duet and Clair de Lune. Normally - these songs are played by trios and quartets, But Matthew adjusted the arrangements to be able to play the songs I wanted and do them justice. Dana and Kevin did an amazing job with the songs, the Clair de Lune was beautiful and I loved walking down the aisle to it. Matthew also put together the recessional for us to meet our own personal style and again, Dana and Kevin did a beautiful job with it. The entire experience was great - I would not have changed a thing and Kevin and Dana came and congratulated my husband and I before they left which was thoughtful. I would highly recommend Ensemble Aevia for your wedding!
I had Ensemble Aevia play for my ceremony and cocktail hour outside at a winery for my wedding. They were so easy to work with prior to the wedding! The music was so beautiful and just what I had imagined for our big day! I highly recommend Ensemble Aevia for any special event!
We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Matthew Green and Ensemble Aevia. Communication was always prompt and straight forward, even when I missed up times and accidentally called Matthew on his honeymoon! He was wonderful and helpful, and we talked frequently via e-mail and phone calls to decide on all the music for both the prelude, the processional, as well as the cocktail hour. He was able to accomodate my request for my processional music, which was not on his list, and it came out absolutely perfect. We had some contemporary music mixed in with chamber music for the cocktail hour, which was fun, and just what we had hoped for!
Thank you so much Ensemble Aevia, for helping make our day so special!
My husband and I booked Matthew as a solo violinist to provide ceremony music for our outdoor wedding. It sounded amazing. Lots of complements about the music and how incredible he sounded from the guests and it was exactly what we wanted. He was so easy to work with! He's very responsive and everything went as smooth as possible.
We are so happy we decided to hire Matthew, and can recommend him to anyone else looking for music for their wedding.
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Everything was perfect and you guys were great. We really appreciate it!!!! :)
Matthew and his colleagues were wonderful. It was easy to plan with Matthew. We went with more contemporary pieces with a trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was perfect. Several guests even commented to us how much they enjoyed it. They're talented musicians and I would highly recommend them!
Ensemble Aevia set the mood and added such an elegant touch to our outdoor wedding. Not only was the music beautiful, but they were also incredibly accommodating, professional, talented and reasonably priced. Ensemble Aevia even accompanied me when I surprised my groom with a song and they agreed to come early so we could practice beforehand.
Thank you so much for helping us to have the most wonderful and romantic ceremony! Hiring Ensemble Aevia was the best decision we made.
Matt was extremely helpful and guided as through the piece selection. The guests really enjoyed the music they played during the prelude. Great selections during the cocktail. Very professional.
Matthew and his trio were very professional and easy to work with. The music was the perfect touch to my daughter's beautiful seaside wedding. Matthew was able to accommodate my every wish for song choice. I would highly recommend Ensemble Aevia (NH) to anyone wanting to add a touch of elegance to their wedding ceremony and reception!
We got married in the Portsmouth NH area this September and I was in love with the idea of walking down the aisle to string music. After researching string musicians in the area we came across Ensemble Aevia. We checked out their repertoire which included classical traditional pieces as well as modern songs such as John Lennon. We knew they would be perfect.
Matt was easy to work with and helped us through the process since we were unsure of how to plan the progression of music during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was able to help us create the exact atmosphere we were looking for and his talent was in describable.
I highly recommend Ensemble Aevia! They made my moment walking down the aisle that much more special and provided us with music people will talk about for months. They simply added that special something to make our wedding day one everyone will remember!
My husbands grandfather was originally suppose to play the bagpipes for our ceremony music. When my husbands grandfather fell ill a month before our wedding, we were afraid we wouldn't have music for our big day. I sent an email to Matthew Green from Ensemble Aevia and he called be back within an hour of getting my email. With very little time for him to pull musicians together for a very busy wedding weekend (labor day weekend), he worked continuously to find my husband and I musicians for our wedding. He checked in with me multiple times throughout that month as he confirmed each musician for our day. The music day of was INCREDIBLE. They played some classics beautifully but were also able to play Coldplay and the Beatles for the bridal party entrance/exit. Ensemble Aevia was very fair in their pricing as well. The musicians played as guests arrived, through the ceremony and during the cocktail hour for less the $550. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to hire talented musicians that go out of their way to make your day wonderful.
From the first phone call I had with Matt, I knew him and his musicians were going to be amazing. I had a a couple requests that Matt and I talked about over the phone (I live in Phoenix and planned a New Hampshire wedding) and he assured me they would be able to make it happen. The moment I heard "Hoppipolla" awaiting to walk into the church to marry my best friend, I was overjoyed on how amazing they sounded and how perfect it was. I had many compliments on the music they played as guests arrived and still hear how great they sounded. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you Matt!! You truly made my wedding day unforgettable and were such a big part of full filling the wedding of my dreams!!
A wedding day is always special but the addition of the professional string trio, Ensemble Aevia, made our ceremony and pre-reception a wonderful experience for our guests. Matthew found music requested by the groom for the processional and filled the day with classical selections that many guests commented on. From the first contact to the wedding day, Matthew met every need with courtesy. With two more weddings in the family in the future, we will be back for more!
Matt Green was so easy to work with, they were open to learning new pieces for our wedding and didn't mind traveling to our location which was pretty remote. The music fit right in to our English Garden wedding. They were early and everything went just as planned. We got married on my husbands birthday and when the croud of 200+ started signing "Happy Birthday" they chimed right in, it was perfect! Thank you again for a perfect day!

Happy Bride
Ensemble Aevia performed my ceremony music for my wedding. We used the trio and I thought they did a wonderful job. They had a wide variety of songs to choose from (including all of the processional classics) and they were incredibly professional. Matthew, from Ensemble Aevia, was easy to get in touch and coordinate with, which I found to be the exception, not the rule with most wedding vendors. Not only did they do a great job, but they also made my life easy!
We used Matt & Ensemble Aevia for our wedding this past August. The experience was great! Working with Matt in advance of the big day was wonderful - he answered all of my many questions, helped in the planning process, and accommodated all of my requests. (They even learned a new song just for our event.)
The day of the wedding went perfectly, as well. The ambiance before and during the ceremony was wonderful. Thanks to Matt and the entire Ensemble Aevia group for their part in making our day so beautiful. I highly recommend them!
We were lucky enough to have Ensemble Aevia play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour... And it was exactly what we hoped for! Matt was very easy to get ahold of and was very thorough in the planning, even to humming me songs over the phone to choose from. Our wedding guests commented on how nicely it set the mood of the wedding, and I couldn't have been any more happy with how it turned out. Thank you thank you Ensble Aevia!!
Two weeks before our wedding we needed to find a musician and we were so lucky to find Matthew and Ensemble Aevia! We were in a panic and emailed Matthew and he promptly got back to us and took care of everything. We were so happy with Matthew. He is a fantastic musician and we didn't have to worry about anything.
Could not be happier with my decision to go with Ensemble Aevia for my wedding ceremony. Matthew was extremely professional and knowledgable about wedding ceremony music. I don't know much about classical music (unfortunately) but Matthew was able to guide me and make suggestions that were really helpful. He was willing to speak to the pastor to make sure the timing of everything was right and he showed up early to get everything set up. Not to mention they sounded amazing! You will not regret your decision to go with Ensemble Aevia...they are absolutely fabulous in every way!
We went with the trio for best sound quality. Matthew was easy to work with, helpful in picking out songs, and worked with my coordinator to make sure everything went smoothly without a hitch. Made very little work for me which was great! Everyone said the music was beautiful! Thanks so much!
I was married this past Saturday and was very impressed with Ensemble Aevia who performed at our ceremony and cocktail hour. The musicians were easy to contact, thorough, and extremely professional. The actual music they provided was outstanding. Having the ensemble completed our wedding and added elegance. I always felt that having a DJ play ceremony songs and provide cocktail music was tacky so I searched for local musicians. I wanted three specific instruments played including a harp. Matthew was wonderful and accommodated our wishes for instrument and music selections. I would highly reccomdend Ensemble Aevia. You and your guests will be impressed by their talent and professionalism.
They played at my June wedding and cocktail hour in Sunapee, NH and were fantastic. Matt was extremely helpful when picking out songs and was very easy to work with. They arrived on time, played beautifully, and the price was great!
Ensemble Aevia was an amazing addition to our wedding day. This group has a full repertoire of music to select from, is incredibly talented and easy to work with through the planning process.
They can't be beat if you appreciate the sophistication and beauty that classical music adds to a wedding - just listening to their website samples proves it. They are top notch musicians.
Matthew is fantastic to plan and work with, and he, Anne-Marie and Bo are so talented and very very professional. They were there early for the ceremony warming up and ready to go. They bring energy and passion to their job - just amazing and undoubtedly recommended!
There are many nerves with wedding planning... largely due to entrusting your ideas, plans and money to vendors in hopes that the day turns out well. We are so glad to look back on such an important day with absolutely no regrets and wonderful memories.
Early on in the process, Matt was very open to helping us create the day with music that suited us. We love the Beatles and wanted to incorporate some important songs. For the few songs we had in mind, Matt was able to find the perfect arrangement for a duo, with no added expense. He helped tremendously during the planning process with recommendations and guidance.
We utilized Ensemble Aevia for our outdoor summer garden ceremony and cocktail hour. Matt and Tim who performed at our wedding were phenomenal. We received many compliments about how beautiful and serene the music was at the garden. It was exactly as we had hoped it would be.
We had never met prior to booking Ensemble Aevia, however with many phone discussions and listening to samples we decided to go for it. We are so glad we did. We would recommend them to any of our friends getting married and hope to work with them again in the future.
Matt from Ensemble Aevia was great and easy to work with. I had done a lot of research on ceremony musicians in the New England area and his pricing was very competitive. They were on time, professional and I've received nothing but compliments on them from my guests. They even learned a new song for my recessional!
