Goldenwood Ensembles

s of the ceremony. Thank you Krysia!

arrived on time and played beautifully. I couldn't recommend Goldenwood Ensembles more.

d experienced in her advice. We had a flute and guitar combination with her and Dennis and it was perfect for setting the magical tone of our ceremony on the lake at Migis Lodge. I absolutely loved this combination, it was so beautiful. They made sure they had the songs we wanted to hear when walking down the aisle, easy going throughout the process, and gave us confidence that we didn’t need to worry about a thing with the music (and we didn’t!). We highly recommend using Goldenwood and working with Krysia for making ceremony music magic happen!

creating the perfect setlist with suggestions and music recommendations for our cocktail hour music. They also were very flexible when we had a last minute change to add music to our ceremony. Our wedding guests were extremely complementary of the music. The musicians were very professional and arrived on time with no issues.

answered questions I had about the best order/way to do things. She was really knowledgeable and helpful, while we were thinking through how the logistics of the ceremony processional. Additionally, they also played an arrangement done by my brother, which was so meaningful! I would definitely recommend. The day of the musicians arrived punctually and got set up with ease. They executed everything seamlessly and professionally. All around a great experience. I also thought the pricing was very reasonable. A lot of vendors take advantage of the “wedding” label and you feel like you are being ripped off, but the prices felt very fair to me, which I really appreciated and stood out in the industry.

ateful to them for adding such beauty to our special day. For context: We had an intimate City Hall ceremony. Goldenwood Ensembles played ceremony and cocktail hour music. They also accommodated learning our first dance song (and performed it perfectly!). They were accommodating of a short scheduling timeline and incredibly easy to work with. They arrived on time and needed no assistance navigating and setting up. They were were they needed to be and ready to play with zero complications.

e wanted played and also played an arrangement my younger brother put together of the song I wanted to walk down the aisle too. They were responsive, helpful, nice and overall a pleasure to work with and I felt like the price was completely fair. Would 100% recommend!!!

any issues. Goldenwood even found the music sheets for specific songs we requested and matched the kind of vibe we were looking for and made our day so special! I’d highly recommend them to set the tone for any wedding!

music!

ceremony size) and could not have been happier with the service. Leading up to the wedding, the musician and I corresponded frequently on planning the music, and she exhibited the perfect balance of listening to what I wanted and offering advice based on her experience of performing at weddings. On the wedding day, she was punctual, flexible, and professional. The music was beautiful, and I received many compliments after the ceremony was over. This was all provided at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend using them for your ceremony!

in the State of Maine room at Portland City Hall, and they knew the space well. Krysia sent a lengthy repertoire list well in advance that I picked songs from. They were able to accommodate a specific choice that wasn't on there, too. Christina showed up early with everything she needed, and took a few moments to hum out the beats of my processional to make sure we were on the same page! We got many compliments on the atmosphere her playing created. Highly recommend their group of talented folks! Thank you!

amazing experience. It was a dream of mine to walk down to a cello and it's something I'll never forget.

timed. The cellist's music was absolutely beautiful. I will continue to recommend them to my clients!

imate gathering or a larger wedding, I highly recommend Goldenwood ensembles!

e incredibly professional and easy to work with from a planning perspective. We definitely look forward to working with them again.

ging, responsive and flexible. I especially appreciated her professional help putting a music program together that fit the prelude and ceremony. The day of the wedding did not disappoint. Kyrsia, Graybert, and Christina made for a beautiful flute, violin, and cello trio. They nailed it. My daughter was in tears (of happiness) afterwards when she thanked us for the ceremony music.

ey killed it! From the start to finish they were responsive and helpful and easy to communicate with. We appreciated their professionalism and performance and you will too!

way, but for delivering absolute perfection at our ceremony and cocktail hour. I still can’t believe how lucky I was to walk down the aisle to my favorite piece from Cavalleria Rusticana and live out my wedding day surrounded by such beautiful music. Thank you Goldenwood for your professionalism, kindness, and tremendous talent ❤️

g up to the big day, and because of that, everything went smoothly. The musical selections were beautiful and varied, and they enhanced the emotional experience of the day.

playing as guests arrived to the delightful tunes that filled the air during the ceremony, their music elevated the atmosphere and created lasting memories for all in attendance.

venue and I am very pleased we went with them!

bo and it was the perfect fit. We are so grateful that Goldenwood was a part of our ceremony and loved the beautiful music they provided. I highly recommend working with them.

d for my outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. I had a flute and guitar and they were worth every penny. The prices seemed very reasonable also. I’m not a big fan of paying via check and snail mail, but it wasn’t a problem after all. I would not hesitate hiring them again for any event I was hosting!!

itions of jesu joy of man's desiring, canon in D, and wedding march during our ceremony. Additionally, we had requested a cello solo of "stand by me" that they ended up learning and executing beautifully; however, at the last minute the priest declined the piece to be played during mass (even though the parish had previously approved it). Krysia and her team did not miss a beat and switched songs minutes before the start of the ceremony- kudos that they handled this issue with such professionalism and flexibility!

r. Both Krysia and Dennis are incredible musicians and elevated the feel of the entire event. It felt like magic walking down the aisle and hearing their gorgeous instruments! So many of my guests commented on how much they loved the music and how fun it was having live musicians for the wedding. Thanks SO much to Goldenwood for their excellence and professionalism in making our wedding unforgettable! ◡̈

s and pleasant. The music was well done but not overly intrusive. He connected with my daughter over their mutual love of cello playing. All around a very nice addition to the wedding ceremony and would highly recommend them.

struments and music selection that best suited our desires. The cellist and violinist who played were very kind, punctual, and talented. We received many compliments on the ensemble, and could not have asked for a better experience. Would definitely recommend them for your wedding!

trust in vendors that you haven’t worked with before, but I can’t recommend Goldenwood enough. The music was everything I had dreamed it would be, and they were so flexible and accommodating of all our requests. They made us feel so comfortable in the process along the way, and now it’s easy to see why - they know what they’re doing, and they’re fantastic at it!

ghters wedding! Hire them, you will be so happy & amazed!

ensure a perfect day. Everything was well prepared and the day of the event was seamless. Goldenwood Ensembles was truly a wonderful addition to any wedding ceremony (and takes the stress off of the wedding couple/family trying to coordinate the music during the ceremony). I would highly recommend Goldenwood Ensembles (Krysia) to anyone planning for their wedding !

y birthday very special

ng. She definitely knows her stuff. I couldn't have asked for anything better to really make my daughter's day special. I would very highly recommend Goldenwood Ensembles.

uests. For a relatively small additional fee, they even composed a cover of one of our favorite songs by John Mayer for my processional, and it was such a magical experience to hear it as I walked down the aisle. Krysia is a pleasure to work with, she is so responsive and on top of everything. I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married in Maine - they made our day feel so special!

re attentive and understood our requests. Her ensemble was perfect for our summer, outdoor wedding in Maine on the coast. It was simply majestic, right out of a Nicholas Sparks book!

a number of emails and calls in order to draft a detailed playlist. They followed it perfectly and were extremely professional in their manner and dress. The music was beautiful and exactly the atmosphere we wanted to have for our small, intimate wedding.

the day will be flawless. I hired Goldenwood Ensembles for my son’s wedding and Krysia was very responsive, professional, and extremely detail-oriented. She asked about music choices, made recommendations, and went out of her way to learn, and flawlessly play a piece that the couple really wanted to include but had not been in their repertoire. The music was lovely (flute and guitar) and it set the tone for the ceremony. My mind was put at ease when Krysia contacted me a couple weeks before the big day to confirm every detail. She asked questions, answered my questions, and waited patiently on the line while I texted back and forth with the bride. The wedding ceremony was outdoors and the cocktail hour was to be outdoors too. As the procession began the clouds rolled in and thunder rumbled in the distance. Krysia and Dennis were under cover and played beautifully as the wind picked up and the rain lightly began to fall. Once the vows were exchanged and the couple was pronounced husband and wife, the party recessed and went back inside the building and the musicians followed. They moved their equipment to a new indoor site for the cocktail hour and continued to play as if that had been the plan all along. In summary, they are amazingly talented, professional, adaptable, and detail-oriented. Goldenwood Ensembles made my son and new daughter-in-law’s day magical.

ked with was very helpful. attentive and responsive. I highly recommend Goldenwood Ensembles!
