    Great experience!

    Carla and the musicians were amazing. Carla walked me through every step and took care of all the details which was so helpful during the stressful time of planning. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we loved having them be part of our day!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you so much Meghan and Congratulations! You had the MOST Beautiful fall day anyone could have asked for and we loved playing for you! We wish you the best!

    Thank you Ars Elegante

    We were so grateful to find Ars Elegante and work with Carla on our wedding ceremony music. Carla was so responsive, flexible, and helpful as we decided on our song selection and navigated changes in our ceremony plans due to COVID (she even accommodated our request that guests wear masks, wearing a custom mask that allowed her to play the flute). The performance itself was magical and everything we hoped for. If you are looking for a ceremony musician, look no further than Ars Elegante. Thank you!!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you Emily! We loved your choices of music for Flute and Guitar: Gymnopedie and The Swan, two of my favorite pieces that worked out beautifully! It was pleasure to work with you and play for you!

    A Joy to Work With!

    Working with Carla of Ars Elegante was an absolute joy! We hired her for flute, violin and cello to be played during the ceremony for our daughter’s wedding. She is so knowledgeable, talented and helpful in choosing music. We FaceTimed so I could hear different pieces and after our consult she emailed me a detailed summary of the music for every part of the ceremony! I felt her fee was very reasonable to have professional musicians at our wedding. It was BEAUTIFUL and we received many compliments.

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you Gwen. We thoroughly enjoyed playing for you! The weather was perfect and the flowers were beautiful. Congratulations!

    Perfect Ceremony Music

    I knew for my ceremony I wanted to have a harp and a violin. I found a few vendors but when I came across Ars Elegante I knew that is who I was going to hire. We ended up adding the flute to the ensemble as that is the vendor’s specialty, but the music was beautiful. We would not have had it any other way!! Thank you Carla!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you Breanna! We really enjoyed playing for you, especially the Waltz of the Flowers which was a special request. I love to add new pieces to our repertoire by way of requests. Thank you for the amazing pictures! I wish you both the best!

    Amazing and easy to work with!

    Don’t know where to start I live in TX & they were still able to work with me, they were amazing to work with and very professional! I wanted them to play a John Legend song for me to which I sang to and they were able to rehearse it with me. They were great! Carla was a pleasure!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you so much Kendra, it was a pleasure to work with you! I am so glad we were able to provide the music you dreamed about. We wish you the best!

    So wonderful!!

    For me ceremony musicians were an “extra expense” for the wedding that I just felt like would enhance the ceremony so much and I am sooo happy I went with Ars Elengante!! Quick response times, super easy to work with, they learned two songs just for my wedding and performed everything beautifully! We got so many comments about how lovely it was. 10/10, I honestly can not recommend enough!!!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you so much Ashley! We loved playing for you and your venue was amazing. My favorite place to play: in a pine forest, amazing acoustics! We wish you the best!

    Surpassed expectations

    Not only was the music lovely, but Carla was a huge help in planning the ceremony itself. Due to the small size of the event (thanks to COVID), we had no official wedding planner. Carla spent time walking my daughter through every part of the ceremony, even those that didn't relate to the music. Thankfully, I don't have another daughter :) But, if I did, Ars Elegante would play at her wedding.

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Oh thank you Kelly! It was a pleasure to work with you and to play for you! I wish you and your family the best!

    Excellent, made my wedding day special and great to work with!

    Carla and Ars Elegante were amazing to work with and my wedding ceremony was everything I hoped for (minus the rain). My husband and I had very hectic work schedules leading up to the wedding, Carla was very accommodating. She worked with us to create the music and order to go perfectly with our ceremony. So happy!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you, Alecia! We loved playing for you and loved your decorations! We were happy to work with your schedule!

    Wonderful experience

    Carla was so nice and accommodating to our requests! Many guests commented on how beautiful the music was during the ceremony. Professional, talented, and well... elegante!! Well worth it for that extra touch!

    Thank you so much Megan, we loved playing for you! And Gervasi is one of our favorite places to play for the amazing scenery, atmosphere, and setting for weddings.

    The music of Ars Elegante :-)

    When we (my daughter and myself) booked Ars Elegante, we did so knowing the great reviews that they had. Oh my goodness! They really are so deserving of those wonderful reviews. They showed up looking beautiful, setting up where they were supposed to, playing whenever they were supposed to. Working with them to bring all of my daughters' wedding song requests was so easy! We decided to have flute, violin and cello. The music was so incredibly beautiful. Made my daughters wedding so much more elegant and beautiful. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts! -Conrad Family

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you Laura! We so LOVED playing for you and your guests. The acoustics at Glenmoor make it so easy to play and your guests were so attentive, we felt like we were in a concert hall! It was our pleasure!

    Music for wedding

    This was the perfect touch for our wedding day! They did a great job! Carla was great to work with. Emails were answered quickly and thoroughly, which was a big stress reducer! I liked the fact that she included a consultation; my family was able to meet at her house and discuss in person what we wanted. I would highly recommend Carla!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you Gina! It was a pleasure to play for you! Youngstown Fellows Riverside Gardens is such a beautiful venue, we truly enjoyed it!

    Ars Elegante - Vineyard wedding

    My daughter and I hired Ars Elegante to provide music for her wedding ceremony. We had a harp, violin and flute. Carla was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls. She provided us with an extensive song listing and gave us the opportunity to request songs which were not on the list. My daughter hoped to create the feeling of romance and grace for the ceremony and Ars Elegante certainly delivered. Our guests enjoyed the music, even while I was in the back of the venue waiting for the ceremony to begin, guests were texting me telling me of the song which was currently playing. I highly recommend Carla and Ars Elegante for your function. You will not be disappointed.

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you so much! We so enjoyed putting together your song requests and playing them. We loved hearing how excited your guests were that they were texting you during the prelude.

    Great music for our ceremony

    We chose more non traditional songs for our ceremony and they were able to cater to our preferences. We got so many compliments on how beautiful and elegant it sounded in the chapel. They were professional, accommodating, and responsive and helped us give a flow to our ceremony with music. We Would recommend Ars Elegante to anyone in the area looking for great music for their wedding!

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you so much Amber! The acoustics in the St. James Meeting House make it effortless to play, so we love playing there! We are so glad you and your guests enjoyed it.

    I was very impressed with Carla Holtz. I had the violin and flute combination. I could not have asked for anything more. Carla and her assistant were excellent. Before the ceremony my fiance and myself went to her home to review the music. She listened to what I wanted and was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Ars Elegante.

    Ars Elegante's reply:

    Thank you Cindy! We loved playing for you. We really enjoyed and appreciated that you requested some solo pieces just for your guests to listen to during the ceremony. We wish you the best!
