Lyric Ensemble was the "Icing" on my Wedding Cake!

We worked closely together to select the most meaningful music for my very special event. They even learned my favorite piece of music especially for me!

Lovely lyric music

We were absolutely delighted with the beautiful music provided by Lyric Ensemble. Our daughter's wedding was held in the stunning setting of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. And relaxing to the lovely music during the ceremony and the reception following was the perfect touch for the ceremony and celebration she envisioned.
The trio provided music that was well worth the rate and seemed right in line with the going fees. I just could not recommend them more highly for excellent communication, musicianship and gracious friendliness. They appear to truly enjoy their work! Thank you!

Perfect Wedding Music

Kimberlee and Lyric Ensemble were a joy to work with in providing music for my cousin's wedding in Boulder. Kim's communication was prompt, supportive and very helpful when it came to song selection and other logistics. The music itself enhanced the atmosphere of the whole wedding celebration, it was absolutely lovely. All musicians are seasoned professionals and also show care on a human level-- I highly recommend. I wish I had them at my wedding!

Must have group for live wedding music!

We were so glad we found Lyric Ensemble and they were in budget and available on our wedding date. We booked the guitar, violin, cello trio for a great price, covering 2 hours of our wedding day - ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very professional and responsive and helped to identify the best styles and selections that matched our dreams for the day. On the day, their performances were lovely and really elevated our experience with live music personalized to us and our vision. I would highly recommend this group for future wedding couples and other events! Thank you Lyric Ensemble for making our day so special!

Ceremony and Cocktail Hour Music Perfection

We booked a trio with Lyric Ensemble for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were wonderful to work with! Kimberlee is very personable and did an excellent job with communication throughout the planning process. The musicians are very talented and they did a great job working with our Day of Coordinator, when she cued them to play each song! Each song was timed perfectly during the ceremony. Lyric Ensemble also learned a special song for my husband and me, and they paid attention to when we were able to join cocktail hour after photos, so we could hear it! We are very grateful to Lyric Ensemble and we hope we will get to hear them play again someday :)

Highly recommend!

Kimberlee and the crew were wonderful to work with and played beautifully! They added a special magic to our ceremony! Multiple guests came up to us and complimented them! They have a good variety of music options and ensembles, not to mention they were willing to learn new pieces if we had wanted something they didn't already know. I would absolutely recommend them

Daughter's wedding in Boulder

Kimberlee and her group were wonderful and my daughter was thrilled with having them perform during her wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and seated dinner at the St Julien Hotel. The quality of music and professionalism was flawless, music selections were wonderful, they were on time and extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

Gorgeous Music Beyond My Expectations

My experience with Kimberlee and Lyric Ensemble was far beyond what I could have hoped. From the initial information meeting to the end result at the wedding, I could not be happier. When I listened to their songs online to make my selection, I teared up because of the beautiful music that they play. In person, it was even better. I am so grateful that Kimberlee and her team played at our wedding. It was one of the best parts, and I will cherish the memories forever.

I am always amazed at just how great A Lyric Ensemble is at everything they do. Ceremonies couldn’t go smoother or sound better. When they stay to play during cocktail, I know my clients are in for a live musical treat, which is a cut above the rest. I cannot recommend them enough!
