Professional Network & Endorsements
I had the privilege of working with Velveteen Ensemble at a NYC wedding this weekend and could not have been happier. The quartet was there early, set up quickly, dressed impeccably, played flawlessly, and followed direction very well. I never had to tell them something twice. I very much look forward to working with them again. Don't hesitate to hire these talented artists for your event!
