Flawless and Amazing

I had Kristen with her harp and Ricardo with his violin as live music for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and it was a dream! I absolutely love their take on music and they really understood the vibes I wanted for my wedding day. I cannot recommend them enough. They were so amazing and extremely kind as well. Once I had my initial call with Kristen I felt so relaxed about the music because she was so easy to speak with and trust. I am also so impressed with their roster of musicians and ability to make seemingly any performance work!

Just perfect!

The trio provided the perfect setting for our outdoor wedding ceremony. We requested a mix of contemporary songs, and Kristin and co. went above and beyond! We couldn’t have been happier with the music for the day.

Beautiful Instrumentals and Excellent Customer Service

We booked a violinist and harpist for our wedding ceremony. The instrumentals were simply beautiful and definitely created the ambiance we desired. Booking to execution was seamless. Kristine is very approachable and easy to work with. I highly recommend New Arts Ensembles.

Provided a wonderful experience

New Arts Ensembles - Kristin and team - provided a string quartet that played a specific set of songs for our wedding guests as they arrived and played for our ceremony. They were wonderful to work with and performed amazingly. They were a key part of our wedding and it would not have been the same without them.

Amazing! Highly recommend

I just got married 3 weeks ago in Savannah at Victory North. My husband and I wanted to have an elegant feel to the ceremony and cocktail hour. We found New Art Ensembles and booked a Cellist for 2 hours. Kristin was so quick to respond to all my emails. When the wedding date came closer and we finalized our song list, it was no issue to play them. We picked:
Processional:
Can you feel the love tonight: From the Disney's the Lion King
For the Brides Entrance:
Can't help falling in love: Elvis
For the Recessional:
Canon in D

The cellist was amazing, professional and on time. I highly recommend them for your wedding! Thank you so much for making my wedding day special

Amazing Music

New Arts Ensembles made my daughter's wedding ceremony just perfect. I can not express enough how helpful Kristin was in planning for this day. My daughter wanted to have "Wouldn't it be nice" for the recessional song and Kristin made it happen! The ceremony was just that much more beautiful because of New Arts Ensembles. Thank you!
