Would highly recommend Yury! He was extremely communicative, friendly, and professional. We chose Yury to play our ceremony music because 1) he was open to playing anime music that wasn’t already in his repertoire and 2) he went above and beyond to demonstrate how it might sound before we had even hired him. He answered all emails quickly and showed up early on the day of. He set up by himself, played beautiful music while our guests found their seats, and perfectly executed the ceremony music right on cue. An absolute pleasure to work with and an excellent value. -

The Ideal Ensembles team delivered magical performances during our wedding ceremony, and we are happy to recommend them for your special event! Yury and his team were pleasantly professional, organized, and friendly both in the planning process and on the day. They collaborated with our wedding planner and day-of coordinator, arrived early despite heavy traffic, and were an absolute dream to work with. Our perfect day wouldn't have been possible without them! -

We had our dream wedding on November 13th at Terrace on the Park in Queens NY. We had the pleasure of having Ideal Ensembles play at our ceremony. It was beautiful. There is something so special about having live strings at your ceremony. We had so many compliments on the music. Yury is flexible and very communicative. I will absolutely recommend them and you will not regret it. THANK YOU IDEAL ENSEMBLES!! -

Yury and team was excellent! I put in an inquiry and received a response almost immediately. We chose three covers for our processional and recessional, they did all three songs such justice! Everyone was completely floored and mentioned how much they loved their work. Also, without us asking, Ideal Ensembles set up outside of our venue to welcome our guests! Everyone felt so special and it added a beautiful, magical quality to the atmosphere. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend choosing Ideal Ensembles for your wedding or any other event. They truly will add a magical touch to any occasion! -

Molly Sent on 11/30/2022More than ideal - magical!
Yury and team were such a pleasure to work with. When planning for the day, he was helpful with logistics and encouraged us to select music that we were passionate about. For example, walking down the aisle we asked for a Fleetwood Mac song and for the recessional we asked for a Blink-182 song. Both turned out so amazing, it was exactly how we imagined it! We can’t recommend this group enough, they will make your wedding day truly magical. -

My husband and I were so happy that we chose ideal end members to play at our cocktail hour. We had a small wedding at Locanda Verde in Tribeca. The musician’s presence at our cocktail hour really added to the ambiance of the room and was perfect for welcoming our guests. Many guests commented that the music selection was perfect for the event and sounded great. They also commented that the volume was just right--allowing people to talk to one another without having to scream. The musicians were dressed very professionally and played flawlessly. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music and will keep them in mind for future events. -

What an amazing music!!
I can’t recommend Ideal Ensemble highly enough! They played during my ceremony and made me feel so special!
They even went to the trouble of learning a custom song for me, which I so appreciate since my grandfather wrote it especially for my family. They played beautifully, and made the atmosphere magical.
Not only are they extremely talented, but so easy to work with! I drastically underestimated how important that was during my early planning! So many vendors forget what you’ve agreed on, or try and up sell you, or ask you the same question a million times. Not Yuri! He was always extremely clear and upfront about his pricing (and even stopped me from over paying, which was very honorable). And very organized.
Certainly one of my top vendor choices! -

Brenda D. Sent on 08/31/2021Amazing- you NEED to have them at your wedding
We are so grateful for Yury and his team. We had our ceremony in Central Park and they went above and beyond to make our ceremony unforgettable. Yury's beautiful wife played Cello for us and they were able to accommodate our song choices with no hesitation. Yury even helped us hold the rings during the ceremony and kept me company while I waited for the ceremony to begin- They as so thoughtful and so talented. They made the ceremony so romantic, it was really a dream wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!! -

Jaclyn B. Sent on 03/18/2021Great experience!
Yury and his team were incredible to work with. My husband and I got engaged this past July 2020 and married in November 2020. We had a very tight window planning our wedding, which was of course stressful especially during a pandemic. Yury was always in constant communication and had great suggestions to the ideas we threw at him. He put all of our stress at ease and made our vision of our wedding day a reality. We are so glad we found Yury and couldn't be happier to work with him! -

Thank you for making my dream wedding a reality!
Yuri and his team were incredible! Planning a wedding during covid - without ever meeting the vendors face-to-face - has been nerve-wracking. Yuri put me at ease and it was clear that this was the best professional for me to work with. He gave me great advice about the procession and curated the music selection of my dreams. He even took care of crucial things I had forgotten about last minute such as taking a microphone for the officiant. He and his team arrived ahead of schedule, set up discretely, and played beautifully during the guest arrival, then swiftly moved over to the ceremony area. I could not have wished for a more beautiful sound to walk down the isle to. All in all they made the day truly special, and hassle free for an already stressed out corona-bride. I highly recommend them! -

Aisling H. Sent on 10/27/2022Wonderful and Great Communication
Having Ideal Ensembles as a part of our wedding ceremony was so wonderful! Communication with Yury was so great and they were so accommodating with our song choices. We also booked them to play as our guests entered our ceremony area and they did a fantastic job suing our preferences to make a beautiful set list. They also were happy to work with my friend so she could be a vocalist during our ceremony as well. Thank you so much Ideal Ensembles for adding musical magic to our ceremony! -

John P. Sent on 10/23/2019Absolutely Perfect!
It’s hard to know where to begin, having Ideal Ensembles play at my wedding was one of the first and easily one of the beat choices I could have made. Working with Yury and his crew was an absolute pleasure. He took the time out well before our wedding to meet with us and go over the whole ceremony, he even arranged two songs for us and sent us samples of how they were going to sound! When the day of the wedding came, the whole quartet was in place, dressed to a T ready to play. Yury offered me some choice words of advice on how to deal with the impending rain and following ceremony was absolutely perfect. Having them as part of my vendor team was a pleasure and I would very highly recommend anyone considering them , to go for it. They’ll enhance your day and you’ll be very grateful. -
