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.

We Really Enjoyed The String Trio

Kimberlee and her team performed for our wedding in August 2025 were very skilled. They were also able to accommodate one song that was outside their normal playlist, and they nailed it. She is also an excellent communicator!

Great Live Music

Lyric Ensemble preformed at my sister’s wedding. They are easy to work with and very talented musicians. They arranged a custom piece for the processional that sounded perfect!

Professional and Masterful

Working with Lyric Ensemble for our wedding was great. They are very confident in their work and made certain of every important detail with us before the wedding. During the ceremony they provided an exceptional atmosphere, I almost wanted to stop and just listen! If you are a fan of live music and classic skill, this is the group for you.
