Perfect music!!

Emily and her team were amazing!! So responsive, so talented, accommodated my special requests and provided suggestions on accompaniments. The day of, my husband and I were hiding and the quartet graciously played a special request again just so I could hear it. I’m so grateful they were a part of my special day.

Absolutely Exceptional!

Emily and her team are such a wonderfully talented group of musicians. They worked with us every step of the way, helping to navigate through a postponement and almost two years of planning. We hired LBM to play our pre-ceremony and ceremony music for our wedding this past December and they are nothing short of exceptional. The music was so beautiful and elegant and truly helped to set the tone for the entire evening. We cannot thank La Bella Musica enough for helping to make our wedding perfect!

Highly recommend La Bella Musica to set the perfect mood for your wedding day!

Nothing sets the mood better for a wedding than string musicians!

We were so thrilled to work with Emily and La Bella Musica, as they are brilliant artists. They have a wide array of music, and very reasonable rates. We worked with Emily to tailor our music exactly to our style. They played the prelude, ceremony, and postlude music with perfect timing and accuracy for each song. We also had them play for our cocktail hour.

One aspect we loved is how diverse their music selection was. Beyond the classics, we also had them play a variety of fun songs during cocktail hour including the James bond theme song, Zelda Theme song, hobbit theme song, and also some rock songs like Muse. They can do duets, trios, or quartets. We chose a trio for our wedding and were very happy.

We would highly recommend La Bella Musica to set the perfect mood for your wedding day!

Talented Musicians!

I cannot say enough great things about La Bella Musica. My husband and I got married in August of 2017 and the string quartet was fantastic for our ceremony music!! Emily Chen and the rest of the quartet were professional and extremely talented. We were quite impressed with their extensive repertoire. From the planning process to the music played at the ceremony, La Bella Musica did not disappoint. Our ceremony was made that much more special by La Bella Musica. Our guests are still raving about our ceremony music over a year after our wedding! Don’t look any further, book La Bella Musica!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of using La Bella for ceremony music. Emily was so great to work with and helped us pick the perfect music for our day. We received so many compliments on how wonderful the songs sounded and how beautifully the music added to the atmosphere. The trio did an amazing job with not only the acoustics but the timing of all the music. If you want a great personal touch to your ceremony music look no further!

We would highly recommend La Bella Musica for ceremony music. In the beginning, Emily responded to emails quickly and offered a great price. She provided a list of suggested songs and we were able to choose exactly what we wanted from their large repertoire. On the wedding day, they showed up on time, dressed professionally, and played beautifully. I was able to meet them briefly afterwards and they are all so nice!! We are so happy we chose La Bella to be part of our wedding!

La Bella Musica provided the music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They're a talented group and performed so beautifully. It really set the ambience! For the bride's entrance, I requested a song that wasn't on their repertoire yet, and they not only accommodated that, but also sent in their rendition in advance of the wedding (I cried listening to it!). Our main contact was Emily, and she was so great to work with. She's very responsive and also provided guidance and info where needed.

La Bella Musica was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony! We changed out ceremony venue just a few months before the wedding, and realized that we then needed to find a musician! Emily was wonderful to work with, from start to finish. She answered all our e-mails and questions, and was always organized. The paperwork she provided was so thorough and I loved the list of suggested songs she provided - it truly helped us pick the music for our big day! Our friends and family continue to compliment the musicians for our ceremony, and I wish now that we had included them for our cocktail hour too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend La Bella Musica to anyone, and I would book them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect!

La Bella Musica was great to work with. From song selection to the ceremony performance, they were accommodating, reasonably priced, extremely professional and very talented musicians. We mostly stuck to classical and traditional songs which they play beautifully. The music perfectly complemented our ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Always enjoy working with Emily, Morgan and their talented musicians, as their wonderful music seems to make a wedding even more beautiful.

I officiated at a Wedding in Westerly RI that La Bella Musica played at. It was a rainy day and they had the guests very relaxed and entertained under the heated tent. The selection of music that they played was classic, current and very creative. They coordinated well with me during the ceremony as the clients did a candle lighting ceremony with their mothers. I highly recommend having them at your wedding, rehearsal dinner and other event that you may have.
