Literally our favorite vendor!!

Working with Patrick and the rest of our string quartet was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From beginning to end, Patrick was responsive, professional, and just an absolute dream to work with! The day of our wedding (ceremony and cocktail hour planned for outdoors), there were crazy winds that could have impacted our plan. Patrick adjusted on the fly, no questions asked (literally, I didn't even have the chance to say hello to Patrick until he and the team were packing up; at that point they just fit in so well with the group, going with the flow and adjusting as they needed). They were our easiest vendor to work with, everyone raved about the music (the kids recognized some of the pop songs and LOVED it!)... is it appropriate to have a string quartet at every event I plan ever?! Seriously - thank you Patrick!! We loved having you at our wedding, and will absolutely be shouting from the rooftops about how glad we were to have worked with you!!

Amazing violin trio

Ibis Music Group was everything we hoped for and more. Their performance was elegant, beautifully polished, and the perfect addition to our wedding. They created such a classy, romantic atmosphere and played with a level of talent that truly elevated the entire day.

Ibis Music Group also brought Bridgerton energy to the cocktail hour, and it was incredible! It was one of the highlights of the entire day, and guests could not stop talking about it! They are truly an incredible group of musicians!

Ibis Music Group – The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding

We absolutely loved working with Ibis Music Group for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and cannot say better things about our experience with them and their music!!! After speaking with several different trios in the Virginia area, Patrick and his team stood out right away—and they went on to surpass all of our expectations. Patrick, the founder, was incredible from start to finish—so helpful in guiding us through song selections and offering a wide repertoire to choose from. He was always so prompt and professional in his responses, and we were so impressed by his attention to detail and willingness to guide us in the right direction.

On the wedding day, Patrick and the trio were absolutely sensational. Their sound was beautiful and truly elevated the entire atmosphere. They provided microphones for our ceremony and amplification for their instruments, which made such a difference in ensuring all of our guests could hear the music and vows clearly. They perfectly captured the vibe we wanted, tailoring the cocktail hour music to our genre preferences and setting the tone for the rest of the evening. There wasn’t a single misstep or missed cue throughout the day—they nailed every moment with perfect timing. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them! We cannot recommend Ibis Music Group enough—they were an absolute highlight of our day.

Talented Musicians at our Memorable Wedding

Hiring Ibis Music Group for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was the best decision from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

For our wedding at Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyard, we worked with Patrick and booked the String Trio (two violins and a cello). Patrick is kind, professional, an excellent communicator, and his team of musicians are extremely talented!

I loved their song list which was filled with classics and modern hits recognized by all my wedding guests. Everyone was so impressed. It also meant so much to me that Ibis Music Group learned a song I had requested to walk down the aisle to. Everything sounded beautiful, and I would absolutely hire them again for all future events. They are fabulous in every way.

Lovely ensemble for intimate wedding

We had a small wedding with 60 guests in the art gallery of a restored theatre. The musicians were in the back of the room, played prior to the ceremony, selections for the ceremony and during the reception. They were excellent. Patrick was so easy to work with and pointed out things we didn’t know. Guests are still talking about them!

Wedding 2023

Patrick and his crew did an excellent job for us with a string trio (violin, viola, and cello) for our wedding last May. They had a very extensive repertoire of songs including both classic and modern and even went as far as learning additional songs for us at no additional charge. Ibis was professional and reached out ahead of time to set up a song list and worked with me and my wife periodically during planning to get everything established. The crowd absolutely loved their version of the game of thrones theme song as well as Closer by the chainsmokers and they had everybody laughing. They also learned Can you Feel the Love Tonight for our first dance as well as How to Save a Life (my wife's favorite song). I would highly recommend their services for any wedding or large event. Very reasonable pricing which was significantly lower (~30 percent) than competitors at the time.

Patrick and Ibis Music Group are wonderful!

Patrick and his group were amazing! My dad found them on his search for a string quartet. Patrick was very responsive and patient as my family and I had many personal requests, custom arrangements, and other special things we wanted to incorporate on the day of. They sounded beautiful as they played for my ceremony and cocktail hour. Highly recommend!

Ibis was awesome!

Patrick was great to communicate with and helped us put together a list of ceremony songs. They have a great repertoire already but they were also able to do a custom arrangement for a song that we really wanted to be part of the ceremony. The ensemble played everything beautifully throughout and all our guests loved it! Would definitely recommend

Beautiful music to enhance a beautiful day!

We booked the quartet from Ibis Music to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and couldn't be more happy that we did! Patrick was very communicative and helpful through the whole process with selecting songs, planning the processional and recessional, and figuring out logistics of having live music at the wedding. They have a large variety of songs and types of music they can play. The music was beautiful and added such an extra something that guests are still commenting on to this day! I highly recommend booking Ibis Music group for your weddings or events!
