Reviews of La Mer Ensembles

Amazing to work with!

La Mer Ensembles were so great to work with!! We had a lovely wedding ceremony and would definitely recommend them! Having live musicians for your ceremony makes a huge difference. They are able to change the length of songs to be longer or shorter because you have fast/slow walkers, a long bridal party, etc... Mayumi is so easy to work with; she responds quickly and provides you with all the information you need. She was probably one of the easiest vendor to work with when planning the wedding. They are amazing and play beautifully!

Fantastic and Professional Wedding Musician’s!

We had the most wonderful experience working with La Mer Ensembles for our wedding ceremony and reception music. Mayumi worked with us to pick out the perfect list of songs from their catalog and she was even willing to transcribe a song for us because there was no sheet music available. La Mer Ensembles went above and beyond for us and they were even willing to adapt to last minute changes by our venue. We were so pleased to work with La Mer Ensembles. They are extremely talented and professional musicians! We highly recommend them and would most certainly work with them again!

Absolutely beautiful music !! Extraordinary !!

I wanted to take my daughter’s wedding reception extra special and I am so happy I had the amazing Cellist Mayumi and Violinist James play for the first hour of their reception. Because of Covid, there was no DJ or dancing allowed, but their music added elegance and joy to our event. All my guests were super impressed. Next year, we will have another celebration, and will have them come back. Highly recommend, well worth it !!

Spectacular Performers!

During both the ceremony, and cocktail hour, our guests were treated to elegant renditions flawlessly executed by La Mer Ensemble. In particular, our entrance music - Indiana Jones, Marry You, and La Vie En Rose were exactly how we dreamt it up. During cocktail hour, the Game of Thrones theme song was met with excitement and we were so happy to have decided to have La Mer be part of our special day.

Thank you, La Mer!

Do not look any further than La Mer to perform on your wedding day!! We booked a quartet at Atlantic City Country Club, and it was just perfect. Mayumi is a real professional. She was extremely timely in answering emails at all times of the day and accommodated all music selection requests. Unfortunately, I did not hear much of their music on our wedding day except for my entrance and our exit, but we had multiple guests who raved about how full the music sounded and really added to the atmosphere of our wedding. La Mer was so easy to work with and I cannot thank them enough for adding to the beauty of our incredible day!

Phenomenal Music to Set Your Wedding Apart

La Mer Ensemble was an amazing addition to our wedding. They were very easy to work with and provided such lovely ambiance with their eclectic options for music, the perfect choice for our brunch wedding! I walked down the aisle to Ed Sheeran's Perfect and the tears were already welling up the minute I heard them start long before I got down the aisle. I highly recommend them!

I booked La Mer Ensembles through Gigmasters to play a private concert in our home as a surprise for my wife for our 10th Anniversary. Mayumi & James were outstanding, they made the experience so memorable. It was perfect!

James and Mayumi did an exceptional job playing at our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour in Avalon, NJ. Mayumi was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls. We enjoyed choosing from their wide selection of songs. We are glad we chose to work with them!
