Goldenwood Ensembles

I could gush endlessly about our experience with Goldenwood Ensembles, and I know my review won't capture everything that made them incredible.

We hired them to play during our wedding ceremony, and I truly can't imagine working with a better group of musicians. They were incredibly professional, kind, and easy to work with leading up to the wedding and day-of; administrative details like the contract, discussion of logistical needs, and payment were crystal clear (not something I can say for other groups I reached out to). Every communication with them inspired confidence that they had their role covered, which was huge for my wife and I as we were planning the whole event ourselves.

I have a background in music composition and performance, and can say with certainty that the quality of their musicianship is absolutely excellent. Their performances during our ceremony (3 songs: wedding party processional, bride processional, and recessional) remain a beautiful core memory of the day for us and our guests. We ended up having a trio of flute, violin, and cello, which was perfect for our space, sound, and budget, though you can feel confident that whatever combination of instruments/musicians fits your needs will be masterfully brought to life by this group. Cannot recommend them enough!

Excellent musicians, punctual, professional, kind, will be using them again for events in the future!

Krysia and Dennis were absolutely wonderful! Their music set the perfect tone for our ceremony - beautiful, elegant, and heartfelt. Our guests loved it, and we couldn't have imagined a better soundtrack for our ceremony!

We worked with Krysia to select three songs to play following our city hall elopement. She was so responsive and accommodating to our requests. Graybert exceeded our expectations with his rendition of I Like Me Better. It made our moment feel so special. Highly recommend!

Krysia and her team at Goldenwood Ensambles were AMAZING! Krysia was so amazing to work with and had many great suggestions for my Catholic mass ceremony. She made my magical day feel even more magical. I knew I could count on her and her musicians. Krysia was flexible, knowledgeable, sweet and an overall pleasure! I would highly recommend Goldenwood Ensambles to enhance your wedding day magic!

The ladies did an absolutely amazing job playing for our ceremony and cocktail hour! They gave a level of romance to the day that was exactly what we were hoping for. We had tons of compliments from our guests about how friendly they were and how beautiful the music was. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for strings for any part of their wedding day!

Krysia and the golden wood ensembles team were amazing! They made our ceremony and cocktail hour come to life. Krysia was so helpful in suggesting good songs for different parts of the ceremony. Would highly recommend!

Krysia & her team are not only talented musicians, they were my easiest vendor to work with — very responsive, flexible & committed to doing a great job. Highly recommended!

We recently had Vicky, a member of Goldenwood Ensembles, play the keyboard for our 50th anniversary celebration at the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine (Colony did not have a piano). Vicky played an engaging selection of pieces as background music during our cocktail hour and dinner. She was very personable, flexible and a highly accomplished pianist. Our booking was through Goldenwood Ensembles, which was very easy to work with and highly responsive to requests and questions. I highly recommend them!

Krysia was absolutely wonderful to work with in figuring out our wedding ceremony music. She was quick to hop on a phone call and flush details out, understanding of our vision, and experienced in her advice. We had a flute and guitar combination with her and Dennis and it was perfect for setting the magical tone of our ceremony on the lake at Migis Lodge. I absolutely loved this combination, it was so beautiful. They made sure they had the songs we wanted to hear when walking down the aisle, easy going throughout the process, and gave us confidence that we didn’t need to worry about a thing with the music (and we didn’t!). We highly recommend using Goldenwood and working with Krysia for making ceremony music magic happen!
