Why Hire Queen City Ensemble?
-Queen City Ensemble is not a group that is just put together for your wedding day or special event. Many contractors put together musicians who have never played together before your wedding day resulting in music that doesn't always sound put together which can result in disastrous wedding processionals/ recessionals.
-With over ten years of experience of playing together as a trio they are able to read each other's musical cues giving you a flawless performance.
-With hundreds of weddings; rehearsal dinners; cocktail hours; and wedding receptions under our belt, the trio has mastered the precise timing for wedding processions and have developed play lists of music pieces that will work for each type of event.
-From the moment you contact us until your wedding day, we are available to answer any and all questions as we guide you through the process of setting up your wedding vision with music.
-We personally contact your venue and wedding coordinators and work with them to ensure success when dealing with everything from trio placement to musical cues for your wedding procession down the aisle.
-You will be working one on one with a trio member who will give you unlimited personal guidence in choosing your wedding music.
-We have an extensive repertoire list. There are many pieces/songs to choose from. Our list includes standard classical music, many popular contemporary songs and even some broadway hits.
-Because the trio has access to music arrangers, we can take requests for music, not on our repertoire list, to help make your musical vision come true.

Wonderful value, great performance! They made our ceremony so intimate and special. All guests were so impressed. They accommodated our wants and needs and sing preferences. They were also able to provide recommendations if needed. Highly recommend!
The music was beautiful and the team was so responsive and helpful during the entire planning process. Would recommend them again and again! Got so many compliments on their professionalism and beautiful music. Worth every penny!
Working with Queen City Ensemble was fantastic! They were wonderful to partner with when planning ceremony music, and they added the perfect amount of elegance to our simple, whimsical, wedding, where we wanted love to be the focus. I cannot recommend them enough!
Our client had a great experience with Queen City Ensemble!
Our guests were absolutely blown away when they heard Queen City Ensemble start playing during our wedding ceremony. We are about a month past our wedding day and we are still receiving compliments about how beautiful the trio sounded! They were responsive, flexible to my needs, on-time, professional and most importantly played the most beautiful music. Do not hesitate with booking this group, you will not regret it!
I loved having this trio play for my wedding- they did an amazing job and my guests loved it! They ever arranged a special piece that I asked for, they were incredible, highly recommend!
Could not have asked for a better trio than Queen City Ensemble for my sons wedding. Such a delight to work with. The guest loved them!
I highly recommend the Queen City Ensemble for your wedding or event! They are extremely professional and communicative. We had to move our wedding due to COVID-19 and they were so accommodating with our new date. They also play beautiful music and had a great selection to choose from.
I cannot thank or recommend Queen City Ensemble enough. Their repertoire list has so many options for both classical and contemporary selections. They made our wedding day so special with music we love and enjoy. They were easy to work with, great at communication, and a perfect vendor on the wedding day. If you are looking for an ensemble look no further than Queen City, you will not be disappointed.
HIGHLY recommend! Extremely organized, responsive, professional, and talented. They helped sort out all of the details prior to our wedding day so there were no questions or chaos the day of. Extremely professional and played my requests during processional. I truly enjoyed working with them and our wedding ceremony would not have been the same without them. The strings made the ceremony more intimate and classy instead of having a DJ or other background music. Highly recommend and would book them all over again!
Queen City Ensemble was an amazing addition to our cocktail hour! We got so many compliments on their performance. They were very easy to communicate with, responsive and flexible. I would definitely recommend them for any occasion!!
I loved getting to work with Queen City Ensemble for our wedding! They were great at communicating before the event and offered to help with music selections if we needed! They were extremely flexible, and I changed a couple things within a week of the wedding and of course it was flawless! I sadly only got to enjoy them for the ceremony, but they sounded fantastic! We got many compliments from guests on how wonderful they were and that their music selections before the ceremony and during cocktail hour were great!
If you live in Charlotte, this group is the best value you can get. Period. My wife and I researched for weeks and no other group charges a better price for such a high level of professionalism and talent. The music was flawless and my mother (a choir director in Asheboro, NC) still talks about how beautiful the ambiance was because of the ladies in Queen City. Their repertoire is vast and they will work with you to great levels of detail. They know what they are doing and sounded flawless (that's coming from a guest list of choir/band geeks too).

I loved working with QC Ensemble. The day of my wedding was the coldest day in Charlotte that winter and QC Ensemble was so flexible in working with my planner and I. There was a contractual stipulation regarding the temperature the trio could play given their fragile instruments . They were proactive in reaching out to my planner and I and extremely accommodating in ensuring my wedding was a success. Overall, a very positive experience, and highly recommended!!!
They did a beautiful job and were very easy to work with and communicate with.
I was so impressed with the Queen City Ensemble. Our wedding on March 26, 2016 at the Charlotte City Club was certainly enhanced having them there. The ceremony music was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I envisioned it would be. Unfortunately, we were talking pictures during most of cocktail hour but I was able to capture some of the gorgeous music from just above our guests upstairs while having a little bit of quiet time with my new husband.
I would absolutely recommend them-a thousand times over! They were responsive, easy to work with and understanding of my wishy-washiness at the beginning stages of planning.
Definitely a 5 Star group!!!

Queen City Ensemble with just having an order of ceremony paper was able to get the stops and starts for the music Perfect! They played beautifully!! They traveled to Columbia, SC from Charlotte & they were worth it!
