Wedding Musicians in New York

Ambience Live exceeded our expectations. The musicians were really wonderful and catered to our specific request for classic hits for violin and cello. Everything from a logistical perspective was easy. Would recommend this vendor!

Laura was everything we could have wanted for our wedding day and so much more. From the beginning, she was incredibly responsive, organized, and easy to work with. She gave us everything we needed to prepare, answered our questions quickly, and was always willing to accommodate our requests. When I arrived at the venue, Laura and her crew were ready to go, and the entire day felt seamless. The ceremony music was beautiful. As the groom, I was not able to see much of the setup beforehand, but I could hear the instrumental prelude music we had requested, and it sounded wonderful. The ceremony music itself was flawless. One of the moments I will remember for the rest of my life was watching our wedding party approach, seeing our flower girls scatter petals from roses I had given my wife over the years, and then hearing the music as my bride walked down the aisle. I was sobbing by that point. I could not have asked for a more perfect moment, and Laura and her crew played a huge role in creating it. Throughout the day, Laura handled introductions, speeches, formal dances, announcements, and transitions effortlessly. Names were pronounced correctly, everything kept moving when it needed to, and you could immediately tell she was an experienced professional. My coworkers surprised my wife and me with Buffalo Bills tickets and coordinated with Laura at the last minute so she could play the Bills Shout Song during the surprise. She handled it perfectly. The live jazz during cocktail hour fit the atmosphere beautifully and brought such an upbeat, welcoming energy to the afternoon. Once the dance floor opened, Laura showed how well she could read a crowd. There was hardly a moment all night when someone was not dancing. My wife and I barely left the dance floor ourselves! Laura played everything we requested, avoided the songs we did not want to hear, and kept the energy going all night. One of my favorite memories happened when the dance floor opened and it started to absolutely pour. Instead of ruining the evening, the rain somehow made everything even better. I remember standing in the middle of the dance floor completely soaked, with music playing, lights shining around us, and bubbles floating through the air before bursting in the rain. My wife was smiling and dancing beside me, our friends and family were celebrating around us, and I looked over to see my parents dancing together. Seeing how happy everyone was in that moment is something I will never forget. That was the moment I knew Laura had absolutely nailed it. Laura did far more than simply play music. She guided everyone through the evening with her announcements and commentary, kept guests engaged, and added personality to the experience. She was warm, approachable, professional, and clearly very skilled at what she does. I would hire Laura again in a heartbeat. She was extremely affordable compared with everything she provided, and we could not find anyone else in the area who offered the same combination of professionalism, live music, entertainment, flexibility, and value. She was one of the highlights of our wedding day and played an enormous role in creating memories I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I have already been recommending her to my siblings as they prepare for their own weddings. My wife and I cannot thank Laura and Sound Solutions of WNY enough. Five stars does not feel like enough.

John and team are unbelievable our ceremony was perfect I can’t thank you all enough for truly capturing our vision and creating a perfect ceremony and cocktail hour.

They made our wedding magical. We split the evening. First part was a string trio for the ceremony, cocktail hour and part of dinner.  The rest of the night was a keyboard and sax. Everyone was incredible. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful this team was. Patricia was amazing at working with us and putting together this team. Could not have asked for a better night.  PS the strings even played Metallica for us!  Tell them what you want. They can do it!  

We highly recommend working with Alexandra & Ensembles! Alexandra was very responsive to our inquiries from the start and very accommodating for our entrance songs that are not part of the song list (for violin & cello duo). We hired the team for ceremony + cocktail time - 2 hours total. Could not ask for a better team!!

We booked A Touch of Woodwinds for our wedding cocktail hour and would do it again in a heartbeat! Tom was prompt and professional during the wedding planning process, always available to take song requests and discuss any details. The music was beautiful and set the mood for our evening on a gorgeous day surrounded by fall foliage and our loved ones. We appreciated that the string quartet dressed in black-tie attire and put so much heart and joy into performing on our wedding day. Their pricing was also fair and fit within our budget. We highly recommend their services for your wedding or next special event!

We hired the trio for our wedding on 9/3/23. It was absolutely beautiful! They played for my ceremony, despite the heat. My guests said it was a beautiful touch and they actually thought it was a recording because they were so talented. Definitely added a special quality to my ceremony.

Natalie was such a wonderful addition to our wedding day! She played the violin at both our church wedding ceremony and our day of ceremony at the venue and cocktail hour. Her music was such an elegant touch to the day. Natalie was professional, responsive and so easy to work with. She checked in several times to make sure everything was going to be perfect for our day and it was. I would highly recommend to have Natalie as part of your celebration!

Randy and Topu were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job performing during our ceremony and cocktail hour! They are talented musicians and have an extensive repertoire, including Bossanova, which my husband really appreciated (he's Brazilian). We just loved the cello + guitar combo. They created the perfect vibe for us - romantic, elegant, and modern. We highly recommend Randy and Topu!

Lisa Fenwick was the perfect touch for our wedding. As our harpist, she brought an elevated, classy, garden-party feel to the whole event that so many of our guests commented on. What really stood out was her song selection, she played a lot of popular, modern music, but hearing those familiar songs reimagined on the harp was absolutely enchanting and gave the day a unique, magical atmosphere. Lisa's talent and presence added a level of sophistication we couldn't have gotten anywhere else, and we're so grateful she was part of our wedding.
