Ideal Ensembles LLC

I don’t have enough words to thank Yury and his team. I recently hired a violinist and a guitarist for my wedding ceremony. Yury was very responsive in the days prior to the ceremony, accommodated every request, showed up with his team timely on the day of the ceremony and followed the priest’s instructions to the letter. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and the professionalism of his team but what sets him apart was how accommodating and understanding he was when the ceremony was delayed by more than an hour. He recognized how special that day was for me and my partner and rolled with the punches by extending the playlist and being as helpful as he could under the circumstances. I would recommend him without any hesitation

Yury delivered and played phenomenally! It was the perfect touch to an intimate wedding ♥️ So grateful to have had the privilege to have such a talented artist perform at our event! Book book book him now! You will be 💯 proud that you do!

Yury was amazing. We had a rain delay after the ceremony. Yury played privately for my husband and I as we were hiding from the rain and getting some shots with the photographer. It ended up being one of my favorite parts of the day - dancing and singing with my new husband with beautiful music playing. Feeling so lucky we found Yury and booked this company!

Great working with Yury! Very professional and attentive to the client’s needs.

Yury and his team provided a wonderful experience during our wedding. They were so flexible in the range of music they played, and everything sounded amazing. Highly recommend!

Amazing service, talented and easy to work with. Yuri was flexible to play all our favorite songs. Ideal Ensembles service was professional, with no fuss and most importantly sooo talented. Yuri managed to elevate the wedding experience for our guests.

We chose Ideal Ensembles (guitar and violin duo) for our guest welcoming, wedding ceremonial music, and cocktail hour. They knocked it out of the park! Our guests were raving. They have a large range of music requests they can fulfill, including all of the ones we asked for. We have to emphasize Yury's professionalism and communication. Leading up to the wedding his timely responses were appreciated and gave us great confidence that we could rely on the Ideal Ensemble's team. We never had any doubt. - Matthew and Alyssa (Brooklyn wedding April 2025)

We are so thrilled that we chose Ideal Ensembles for our wedding ceremony music. Front booking to wedding day-of Yury and his team were extremely accommodating and easy to work with, playing exactly the modern/pop songs via string quartet that we were looking for. The music was beautiful and a huge highlight of the wedding ceremony. Highly recommend if you're in need of string musicians.

Yury & his team at Ideal Ensembles created such a beautiful and elegant ambiance at my ceremony. We had a string quartet for our ceremony out in Montauk playing a range of song selections such as Adele, Pachelbel, Bee Gees, and more. We're so thankful we came across Ideal Ensembles on Wedding Wire because he accommodated our budget, specific music requests, location [all the way out in Montauk!], and timing. Planning a wedding by yourself, you'll find many vendors don't respond timely or have a certain mold you have to fit in - with Yury, it was the exact opposite. He completely accommodates to your vision and is just as excited as you for the event. It was such a joy working with Yury leading up to wedding. To top it all off, Yury even introduced himself after the ceremony to express his gratitude. We were so happy to have Ideal Ensembles and after my experience, I can't recommend them enough!

Yury and his colleagues at Ideal Ensembles were amazing to work with. We had a few unique special requests of them (doing one song with our DJ as well as letting a family member play with them!) and Yury was positive and accommodating for everything. Yury is very professional and responsive and my husband and I were put at ease from the first conversation we had with him. Their music helped make our ceremony processional and recessional beautiful and perfect. I would highly recommend them!

Yury was phenomenal! A magical ceremony! One of the biggest highlights of our wedding day - the music was wonderful. We wish we could have slowed down our day to take it all in once more! :) My husband and I had our wedding in March 2024 at Brooklyn Winery and felt that everything was executed as we envisioned and as was communicated to us! From Yury's quick and transparent communication to providing honest advice on our ceremony pieces. One thing that stood out to us is that there was a last minute change in music for the ceremony which Yury and his colleague were so flexible about, and it was a nice way to honor a request from one of our family members. Yury is able to play both classical and more modern, pop music - some of our guests remarked that after listening closely to a song they actually recognized it as a song from the 90s. We also had a unique request of doing a slow and fast version of Dreams for our processional and recessional, which he was able to perform - exceeding our expectations! Don't hesitate to book Yury!

Absolutely wonderful experience working with Yury! Extremely kind, very professional and an incredible musician. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I absolutely loved working with Yury! He was quick to respond and very easy to work with. Also, he was very affordable, which doesn't hurt!

Yury and team were such a pleasure to work with. When planning for the day, he was helpful with logistics and encouraged us to select music that we were passionate about. For example, walking down the aisle we asked for a Fleetwood Mac song and for the recessional we asked for a Blink-182 song. Both turned out so amazing, it was exactly how we imagined it! We can’t recommend this group enough, they will make your wedding day truly magical.

Yury was so lovely to work with. As a planner, it was so nice to have constant communication and he was incredibly professional. The music was so beautiful and made the ceremony and cocktail hour so dreamy and romantic.

Yury was incredibly professional, very accommodating and made sure to cater to my and my spouse's wants/needs for the ceremony music without hesitation. We requested a string duo (violin and cello) and Ideal Ensembles executed perfectly for a sweet and romantic ceremony.

Having Ideal Ensembles as a part of our wedding ceremony was so wonderful! Communication with Yury was so great and they were so accommodating with our song choices. We also booked them to play as our guests entered our ceremony area and they did a fantastic job suing our preferences to make a beautiful set list. They also were happy to work with my friend so she could be a vocalist during our ceremony as well. Thank you so much Ideal Ensembles for adding musical magic to our ceremony!

We were so blessed to come across ideal ensemble. It was the icing on my ceremony. Absolutely beautiful duet of cello and violin. It was such a magical experience and with in reason in regards to pricing. They had great presence and a smile from beginning to end. If I had to do it all over again I would 100 percent choose you guys. Thank you for adding the magical romantic touch to our special day

Yury recently played the cello at my wedding ceremony and he was exceptional. Unfortunately i walked down the aisle a little later than expected and Yury stayed a few minutes passed the time to make sure I was able to have my final song play. All my guest had nothing but great things to say about him and my husband stated he was very friendly. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately my wedding was cancelled because of COVID, but I had the most wonderful experience interacting with Yuri regarding setting up his services. Every interaction was the extremely professional and warm, and I am just so sad that I will not be able to hear his incredible music! I will certainly be using him in the future for another event, and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a classy and heartfelt musical score.

Yury played at my vow renewal ceremony. His playing was beautiful and elegant helping to create a wonderful overall experience. Everything was organized very quickly but he still had time to learn our wedding song and played it as we walked down the aisle. Highly recommend!

Yury and his team at Ideal Ensembles were absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond to make sure our event went seamlessly, even visiting the venue on their own to figure out where they would setup for the event. Yury was incredibly responsive and very flexible when we had to change our wedding date because of COVID-19. I cannot recommend Ideal Ensembles enough, they were an absolute dream to work with (not to mention they executed our music perfectly for our ceremony). My walk down the aisle to Ideal Ensembles' Clair de Lune was one of my favorite parts of the day!

We are so grateful for Yury and his team. We had our ceremony in Central Park and they went above and beyond to make our ceremony unforgettable. Yury was able to accommodate our song choices with no hesitation. Yury even helped us hold the rings during the ceremony and kept me company while I waited for the ceremony to begin- The team is so thoughtful and so talented. They made the ceremony so romantic, it was really a dream wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!!

Yury and his team were incredible to work with. My husband and I got engaged this past July 2020 and married in November 2020. We had a very tight window planning our wedding, which was of course stressful especially during a pandemic. Yury was always in constant communication and had great suggestions to the ideas we threw at him. He put all of our stress at ease and made our vision of our wedding day a reality. We are so glad we found Yury and couldn't be happier to work with him!

Yuri and his team were incredible! Planning a wedding during covid - without ever meeting the vendors face-to-face - has been nerve-wracking. Yuri put me at ease and it was clear that this was the best professional for me to work with. He gave me great advice about the procession and curated the music selection of my dreams. He even took care of crucial things I had forgotten about last minute such as taking a microphone for the officiant. He and his team arrived ahead of schedule, set up discretely, and played beautifully during the guest arrival, then swiftly moved over to the ceremony area. I could not have wished for a more beautiful sound to walk down the isle to. All in all they made the day truly special, and hassle free for an already stressed out corona-bride. I highly recommend them!

It’s hard to know where to begin, having Ideal Ensembles play at my wedding was one of the first and easily one of the beat choices I could have made. Working with Yury and his crew was an absolute pleasure. He took the time out well before our wedding to meet with us and go over the whole ceremony, he even arranged two songs for us and sent us samples of how they were going to sound! When the day of the wedding came, the whole quartet was in place, dressed to a T ready to play. Yury offered me some choice words of advice on how to deal with the impending rain and following ceremony was absolutely perfect. Having them as part of my vendor team was a pleasure and I would very highly recommend anyone considering them , to go for it. They’ll enhance your day and you’ll be very grateful.

Ideal Emsembles was indeed the ideal quartet choice for my wedding. To begin, my fiancee wanted Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" to be played during cocktail hour. I wasn't sure if they could do it, so I asked Yury, and he told me that he would work on the arrangements and send some to hear. To my surprise and my fiancee's delight, they ACED the arrangement!!!! So many of our guests complimented the musicians on their ability, as they had never heard Dark Side of the Mion performed by a quartet!. Moreover, for my processional music, I asked for "Moon River" and I was very particular with how I wanted the music to sound because I already had an idea in my head. When I heard the music playing before I started walking down the isle, my heart soared, b/c it was all I imagined and more. My fiancee wanted our recessional music to be from "Master and Commander" and it was so fun and light hearted!! I cannot imagine my day being so perfect with out Ideal Emsembles. They were a vital part of the beauty of the day. Thank you!!

Professional, phenomenal musicians, just amazing! Ideal Emsembles brought amazing flair to our wedding! Being a groomzilla I had what I felt were some unusual requests for my wedding but not only did Ideal Emsembles make it happen, but they performed with amazing precision. ), and the grande finale was when the performed all of the Dark Side of Moon album during our cocktail hour! I had guests raving about Ideal Emsembles for weeks after the wedding. Ideal Emsembles is a must have for any wedding!!

Gifted musicians, professional, and our guests loved the ensemble. Ideal Ensembles was the perfect choice for our wedding! Our trio of violin, viola and cello played classical music with great beauty. They did everything to create a perfect atmosphere before, during and after the ceremony. We highly recommend Ideal Ensembles!

Ideal Ensembles is by far the most professional, talented, thoughtful and resourceful music company that I have every worked with. We hire musicians all the time for our business and we have recently switched to them because none of our other musicians can provide the level of excellence that this company brought us. They are beyond talented and most importantly professional and thoughtful. they go out of their way to meet the client's expectations. By far SUPERIOR to any other!

Excellent experience on our wedding day We requested two specific songs and our violinist knew them and played them beautifully. Thank you!

They were so great at working with my fiancé and I to get the music we wanted and the vibe just right for our wedding day! Sounded amazing and really added to making our day go perfectly! Highly recommend.

Yury and Ideal Ensembles performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour in CT last weekend and did an amazing job! They were SO easy to communicate with beforehand and Yury was very open and flexible with our music choices. They sounded amazing, looked very professional, and were so friendly to our guests. The large selection of music they have listed on their website makes it super easy to choose the songs you want. I am SO happy we found Yury and Ideal Ensembles, and you will be too if you book them!

Ideal Ensembles was a perfect addition to our outdoor wedding ceremony on the water. The music was just perfect! They helped with song selections based on the venue and were accommodating to any song selections that we had in mind. They were very responsive on email, and the entire music selection process and day of ceremony was stress free! I highly recommend.

Best wedding band ever ! Yury made everything I dreamed about come true trough music. I chose 9 songs, and one Brazilian song that Yury learned how to play just for me and turned out awesome ! I can’t thank enough.

We booked music for reception and cocktail hour with Yuri. He was really easy to work with, he was super patient, listened to what we wanted for the wedding, and gave great advice. Everything was just beautiful. We received so many compliments on the music! Absolutely recommended. Thank you!

Fantastic!!!!!! Yury and his musicians were perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were so professional and so nice! Yury worked with me on the specific songs I wanted and filled in the rest so that I didn't have to worry about it. My one regret is that I didn't get them on video.

I hired Yury and his team as ceremony musicians for my yacht wedding. I got so many compliments from my guests on their amazing performance! His suggestion for the post-ceremony song was totally on-point, as well. He has acted with complete professionalism from start to finish. I highly recommend Idea Ensembles for your wedding!

Yury and team were amazing to deal with during and before the wedding process. They had ideas and suggestions on what songs to play during every facet of the wedding from the pre--ceremony and ceremony! We asked for Beatles and classical music and this was right up their alley and everything sounded fantastic. Thanks again team!

We had such a seamless, flawless experience with Ideal Ensembles, I would highly recommend them to anyone! They were easy to work with & communicate with. We hired them for our small intimate family wedding & they added the perfect touch of fun & elegance to our day. They helped us customize unique ceremony music performed by violin & guitar & it sounded fantastic! They performed Bruno Mars "Marry Me" & Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" & then effortlessly played "Amazing Grace" as well all during our ceremony. It was exactly how we envisioned it. During cocktail hour they continued giving us a sample of our eclectic taste in music from Frank Sinatra to U2 & beyond. Yury was so gracious & kind to work with, it was by far one of the easiest vendors that we communicated with along the way. Lastly, they were kind enough to let my sister sing along with them as a special tribute during our ceremony. They had never met before the wedding but communicated a bit prior & got in a quick practice day of & it went off without a hitch. Thank you Yury & Ideal Ensembles for adding such a meaningful touch to our special day.
