Solo Cello - Perfect!

We had a great experience using Affordable Elegance for our wedding! Marshunda was great to work with to coordinate everything, and Shannon, our cellist the day of, did an amazing job. The cello music was one of my favorite parts of the wedding! Highly recommend.

They made walking down the aisle magical and everyone enjoyed listening to them during cocktail hour. I received many compliments afterwards, One of the best decisions I made for our wedding and worth every penny.

Great experience!

The ensemble was kind, professional, and able to perform with very little direction. It was clear they are very experienced! Having recognizable songs played before and after the ceremony made it fun, and added such a touch of elegance. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Music

The music was beautiful and easy to book overall. I didn’t interact with the musicians really even though I tried to smile and say hi. Not really a big deal though.

Perfection!

Marshunda, who coordinated our contract and set everything up with our Cellist, Shannon was fanstastic to work with - they both were! Affordable Elegance is the way to go if you're looking for a Cellist, Violinist or even a string trio. We are out of state in CT, and Marshunda made the planning process very easy using email. Shannon did a great job and it was a huge hit at our wedding. The music was just perfect.

Pefect for a weddnig ceremony

We are so lucky we were able to have the trio from Affordable Elegance perform at our wedding! They sounded terrific and it set the perfect tone for the reception and cocktail hour. They even learned a song for my wife's processional that wasn’t already part of their repertoire which was great. We're so glad they were a part our wedding!

Exactly what we were looking for!

We hired Affordable Elegance as a string trio to play for 2 hours... as our guests arrived, for our ceremony and for our cocktail reception. They were a pleasure to work with up front, made song selection very easy and then expertly and so pleasantly played a wonderful mixture of old and new.. I had many guest compliments. I felt their price was fair and their contribution to our event... elegant... they lived up to their name! Thank you!

Marshunda and Aaron came and played at our wedding on September 8th. The music was absolutely beautiful! It was exactly as we had planned. Marshunda was very responsive in the planning process and answered all my questions very timely. We had compliments all night about the beautiful music at our ceremony. Thank you both so very much!

Perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour! The music selection was great and we went with contemporary songs for the ceremony. One of the songs was a Beatles song and my dad picked up on it right away. The songs were clear, the music was great, and the sound was awesome! I am very happy that we had a string trio!
