Highly recommended!

We hired a string trio from FAE to play at our wedding reception. We cannot say enough about the quality and professionalism of this group. The trio was incredibly talented and we received many compliments from our guests about the beautiful music. The musicians fit in perfectly at our black tie event and helped to create the perfect ambiance. In addition to an extensive classical repertoire they also knew many contemporary songs and were happy to learn new songs that we requested. I would highly recommend FAE and would absolutely use them again!

Fine Arts Ensemble provides beautiful ceremony atmosphere

The Cello/violin duo we hired for our wedding did an absolutely beautiful job with our ceremony music. They were very easy to work with, even moving our wedding date from April to September, due to the pandemic. They played both classical wedding songs, and pop culture songs as well, and performed with seamless transitions! They were very easy to keep communication with, and professional throughout the event, I highly recommend the Fine Arts Ensemble!

So easy to work with!

We booked FAE for our wedding ceremony. Due to COVID, we had to reschedule 3 times. Dimitri and his team were so easy to work with. About a month before the wedding, I spoke with Dimitri to discuss the ceremony music. FAE's performance during the ceremony was fabulous. We've gotten a ton of compliments on the ceremony music from our immediate family who was present at our wedding, as well as from our friends and family who tuned into the livestream. Thank you so much for helping us make our ceremony unforgettable

Awesome music! Thank you!

We booked FAE for our wedding ceremony. In the lead up to the event Dimitri was super helpful with great communication in order to make sure we were happy with all of the details prior to the day itself. On the day, FAE's performance was great, the songs were performed beautifully! Thank you for adding more memories to the day!

Elegant Violinist

Fine Arts Ensemble's violinist was exactly what we were going for. Elegant. The violinist played beautifully and made my wedding moment exactly what I had envisioned since day once. Truly appreciative of their talent.

Wonderful!

The music was beautiful and the musicians were so patient when we had church-access issues on the day.
Dimitri is hilarious via email; he's so organized and clearly has a tried-and-true schedule for getting his details together. I tried to do our T-1month a week early and was told kindly to wait until it was actually time, ha.

They were both happy to provide recommendations and had no problem when we deviated in favor of others from their extensive song list!

great choice

Dimitri,
Well the wedding is over and it was a beautiful night.





The scheduling agent was a pleasure to work with, very professional. The musicians he sent to play at our wedding were wonderful! We had an unexpected glitch of not being allowed in the church until another group completely ended and people left. The two musicians had think on their feet and set up quickly. Once in place, the music was perfectly beautiful.

My husband and I booked Fine Arts Ensemble for our wedding reception and we couldn't have been happier. They were absolutely amazing! Their song selections pleased all of our guests and had my husband and I smiling from ear to ear!! We are still getting calls from people telling us how they were the best ensemble they have ever heard at a wedding reception. The manager Dimitri , throughout the whole process of planning, was very professional and great to work with. We are so glad we chose Fine Arts Ensemble and we HIGHLY recommend them! The best part, they're affordable! Thank you again for making our special day so memorable!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
