Working with Kimberly was a pleasure. She was thorough and communicated well to ensure we had the best experience. It is hard to put a value on so many thousand hours of experience and practice, but the perfect atmosphere we got to enjoy spoke for itself. I recommend Lyric Ensemble to anyone who wants the skill of true professional musicians at their wedding.

Lyric Ensemble played the ceremony music for our wedding in April in Lyons, CO. They are incredibly talented and created a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding. They were able to seamlessly blend classical, jazz, and modern songs that were meaningful to us and guests of honor. We had multiple guests telling us how special it was to have live musicians there and what a difference it made. Thank you for contributing so much to making our wedding perfect for us!

Lyric Ensemble are incredibly talented musicians and we are so happy with our choice of hiring them for our wedding day. We chose the cello and guitar duo to play our ceremony music. Her team is so knowledgeable and talented in so many different music genres. She and Dennis (the guitarist) were able to alter a song so it was perfect for my entrance and walk down the aisle. Having that customized song and live music was so so special and has become a treasured memory. Kimberlee personally communicated with us in the weeks leading up to our wedding and helped us choose music that would make the ceremony magical. She also played songs we discussed would resonate with specific guests of honor and that made it even more special. Multiple guests came up to us afterwards saying how beautiful and moving the ceremony music was. We're also grateful for the opportunity to support talented local artists and a woman-owned and led business. Kimberlee and Dennis made the day perfect. We would choose Lyric Ensemble again in a heartbeat!

The Lyric Ensemble are a wonderful professional group, very experienced in different settings and moods. Their musicianship is top-notch, which, as a classical musician myself, I very much appreciate and enjoyed thoroughly at my event. They offer a high level of expertise and can tailor their offerings to your occasion, creating a program old and new music if desired. Altogether an atmosphere of relaxed classiness! Thank you!

We were gifted the addition of a string trio for our daughter's wedding, and we chose Lyric Ensemble. What a wonderful gift that was! Kimberlee was so helpful in figuring out what we needed for our size group. She worked closely with the bride and groom to select music for the ceremony and happy hour. The musicians played to perfection and we had many compliments on their performance. I wish we had more time to enjoy this portion of the day.

Lyric Ensemble (guitar trio) provided beautiful live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and really set an elegant, elevated tone for our event from the very beginning. They are obviously extremely talented musicians with a wide repertoire of modern and classical songs. They were also able to accommodate and accompany one of our family members briefly as a live singer, which was really one of the highlights of our event. They are great at communication, very easy to work with, and I would recommend them enthusiastically to anyone looking for a music ensemble for their event.

Lyric Ensemble did an amazing job at our wedding! They were more than willing to work with blending different genres of music to fit the different moods of the ceremony and the cocktail hour, including playing a number of Beatles songs (my sister’s favorite band). It is clear all members are professionals who are willing to go above and beyond to make the day special and memorable for all guests. I would highly recommend Lyric Ensemble to add a touch of elegance, talent, and beauty to your ceremony.

Lyric ensemble were very easy and professions to work with, priced reasonably, and they sound even better in person than they do in their excellent recordings and youtube videos.

Kimberlee and her team of musicians at Lyric Ensemble made our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour that much more special and memorable with a curated playlist of The Beatles, Classical and Disney tunes. Our guests were blown away by the beautiful music and Kimberlee was an absolutely pleasure to work with. I would recommend Lyric Ensemble to anyone who is looking to hire live string music in the Boulder area. Couldn’t have asked for a better group of professional and talented musicians.

Lyric Ensemble was a wonderful musician group to play during our ceremony! We had a traditional church wedding and we couldn’t be happier with their performance! Kimberlee was incredibly responsive and patient with us as it took us some time to finalize our music choices.

Lyric Ensemble added the perfect musical element to my daughter’s wedding. You can count on talented musicians to provide an excellent performance. And, because of their experience and professionalism, you can have confidence that music will be a “no worries” component of the day. Always communicating in a timely manner, Kimberlee worked with the bride on some special music requests for the ceremony. Together with popular tunes during the prelude and light classical fare for the cocktail hour, Lyric Ensemble’s wide repertoire was perfect for the special day.

I cannot recommend Lyric Ensemble highly enough for the perfect classical touch to a party or reception. They provided the beautiful background music for my summer outdoor wedding reception. My fiancee and I were very particular about some specific pieces, especially our choice for entering the reception after all the guests had gathered. They were extremely accommodating of us and it couldn't have gone more perfectly as my new husband and I made our grand entrance. They set the perfect tone for our post wedding party and provided us with memories that will last a lifetime.

We hired Lyric Ensemble to provide a beautiful, classic touch to our son's wedding reception - an outdoor event cocktail and heavy hors d'ouvres party held on a rooftop in downtown Boulder, Colorado at sunset this past August. This classic ensemble provided just the ambiance we wanted - lovely strings that did not overpower conversation but also did not fade into the background so much as to not be heard throughout the venue. They were so gracious to work with, completely oriented to fulfilling our wishes, and so patient during some of the stressful early planning phases of our event. We had so many compliments from our guests about them that if they were willing to travel throughout the U.S. our guest list could keep them busy for a year!

I was the coordinator for a wedding on June 8th. The Lyric Ensemble played the ceremony and cocktail reception music. The couple wanted some non traditional songs for their ceremony which the Lyric Ensemble learned. I've worked with this group many times over the years and I continue to recommend them. I've never had a couple who was sorry they hired the Lyric Ensemble to be a part of their wedding.

The Lyric Ensemble played for my Son's wedding in Estes Park. We had the string trio with violin, cello and guitar. The music was definitely a highlight of the event! We had an assortment of music played from classical to popular and each song was played beautifully. The music added a sweet and magical element to the event and it will be forever imprinted in my memory. Kimberlee was very easy to work with before and during the event. She was helpful in offering suggestions for the best location for the trio, and their musical selections were outstanding. I highly recommend the Lyric Ensemble for their outstanding quality of music and professional presentation.

Their music is amazing and so beautiful! My friends and family really enjoyed it especially during the cocktail hour. I only wish I was able to hear more of it, but being the bride, too busy with pictures and being the last one to walk out during the ceremony I was only able to hear the songs they played during the ceremony. Kimberly was really great to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a beautiful strings touch to their ceremony and/or reception.

Kimberlee and A Lyric Ensemble was super awesome for our mountain wedding. The weather turned out really cold but they were able to project through the open doors and they sounded amazing! The music prior to the ceremony fit very well with that playing during. In addition, Kimberlee was able to provide some guidance when choosing music and deciding whether to have a song during the ceremony or not. Many guests commented on the beautiful touch the live music provided to our wedding

A Lyric Ensemble was wonderful from start to finish. Kimberlee was great to work with. She was very responsive and organized and made it very easy for my husband and me to pick songs and determine what other information was necessary for the musicians before and during the ceremony. Their song list is comprehensive for classical music and fit our wedding style perfectly. I honestly don't remember our ceremony much since it went by in a blur, but several people commented on how lovely the string duo was. I highly recommend working with A Lyric Ensemble!

Kimberlee was wonderful to work with and made the daunting task of choosing ceremony music much easier! I loved how they have so many different teams to choose from to match the mood of your event. We ended up picking the cello and guitar for our church ceremony and it added the perfect intimate touch. I was pleased to be able to choose from a few Christian pieces as well! Her team is SO professional and experienced, we never had to worry about timing of the different song choices for wedding party etc. Everything was perfect!

A Lyric Ensemble did an absolutely beautiful job at our wedding. They had an amazing selection of Disney songs that they played for our ceremony and even learned one that wasn't on their list for me to walk down the aisle to. We had to delay the wedding 15 minutes because of the rain but Kimberlee and her team were so accomodating and everything turned out perfectly. I highly recommend hiring them for your wedding day!
