Iceni Ensemble

If you are looking to hire a quartet for your wedding, look no further. And if you're not, keep reading so you know how Iceni Ensemble can elevate your event and making for the most fairytale magical experience.

From the moment I started working with Larry and his team, I was put at ease. And as a bride self-planning a wedding, finding vendors that are professional and easy to work with is critical. The experience you have leading up the event is a reflection of how smoothly the day will go- do not overlook this. And people were SHOCKED that I had planned my wedding and didn’t hire a wedding planner- that is only possible with the work of professional, considerate vendors like Iceni Ensemble.

I worked directly with Larry from day 1 and he was incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and communicative with the planning of the event. He had an outstanding selection of music- classical and current- and our guests were transported into a fairytale when they were playing. Just beautiful. They are such a talented group and you can tell playing their instruments is their passion by the way they perform.

I think what really took our event to the next level was the attention to detail and personalization Larry put into my event. I really wanted my recessional to be a medley of the music from La La Land to surprise my groom- this soundtrack has been special to us for awhile. While Larry’s team didn’t know the music, Larry personally found an appropriate rendition fit for the wedding, learned it 3 weeks before my event and went the extra mile to make my wedding personal. I didn’t think of using this song until a few weeks out (because, you know I was planning a wedding!) and when he offered to learn it just for us, it really helped make our event meaningful and personal.

Lastly, the value for this quartet was unbelievable. The price was far less than many vendors out there. You have to remember a lot of time you are paying for the marketing- the money these vendors put into promoting themselves- Larry, instead focuses on the music and delivering an exceptional value and experience for his brides. My only hope is that this review helps make other brides have the magical experience I had at my wedding.

Larry and Iceni Ensemble, THANK YOU for your commitment to exceeding our expectations and adding that personal beautiful touch live music can bring to what is one of the most memorable experiences for a bride.

WOW. Thank you Larry and his team for performing at my sisters wedding for her ceremony and cocktail hour. Especially during this crazy pandemic! We were so grateful to have the quartet to that extra class. Larry was so easy to work with and detail oriented. I plan on using him for my own wedding 2021! Nothing beats a live quartet and the beautiful sound Larry and his team created to add that magical experience.

Thank you Larry!!!!

Larry was incredible to work with. He was very responsive and flexible with our changing plans. We had a violinist and cello player join our ceremony to play the ceremony music. It was breathtaking and elegant -- all we hoped for! My guests complimented me after but the credit goes to Larry and the team. Thank you so much, Larry and team!

Larry was a pleasure to work with and the music was beautiful at our wedding ceremony. I will definitely use Iceni Ensemble again and I highly recommend them!

From start to finish our experience with Iceni Ensemble was seamless! It was easy to register for Larry Marino's services (violinist) online, he was professional throughout the process and accommodated to our musical needs. Multiple guests commented on how the added touch of a violin made our ceremony that much more beautiful and special. Highly recommend!

Larry and the whole Iceni ensemble was amaziNg! Larry was super responsive and even attended our wedding rehearsal for a reasonable fee (The rehearsal venue was very close to his residence). Our wedding started nearly 1 hour late so they played pre-ceremony music for nearly 1.5 hours!!! Just had to pay the extra fee in cash... again this fee was beyond reasonable!

Mainly, the music was breathtaking!! Very professional set up. Everything was perfect. Book Iceni—- you will not regret it!

I would highly recommend booking the Iceni Ensemble. I hired them as a quartet to play the ceremony at my wedding. They absolutely nailed it! Even the guests were commenting on how great they sounded. Speaking with Larry and Robert, they both acted very professional in terms of honoring requests, confirming details, and fulfilling the set agenda. They will be your easiest vendor to work with for your wedding/event. End your search now. Highly recommended.

Iceni was amazing to work with! Larry was my point of contact and he was quick to respond to all of my questions and had great recommendations for my music choices. Besides our numerous emails going over details, he called me the week before to go through everything which I really appreciated. They played beautifully as guests arrived for our ceremony and throughout cocktail hour. I will definitely be booking Iceni again for future events.

Larry is very responsible and helpful during my entire planning of ceremony music. He responded every email in time and explained every question clearly. Though I was really busy on the wedding day and did not have a chance to talk to the musicians, they arrived early and the music were great. They provide a very good cost performance, they have a great service in a very reasonable price! Highly recommended!

Easy to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted.
