Venus Ensembles

We loved working with Venus Ensembles! They made our ceremony absolutely perfect! We got so many compliments on their performance before the ceremony as guests arrived, the ceremony, and the cocktail hour. Beautiful music!

I still can't stop thinking about how good they were! I'm so thankful that I was able to have a flutist and violaist play at my ceremony. It really made a lasting impression on me. The musicians that played at my ceremony were super-professional and friendly. It was relaxing and peaceful to have live pre-ceremony and ceremony music. It was an amazing deal and quality was outstanding! Jessica, the owner, was very communicative and willing to work with my tastes and budget. Book them!

Venus ensembles was exactly what we were looking for. We hired a string quartet for the ceremony and a jazz trio for the cocktail hour and both were wonderful. Jessica is an absolute professional and so are the musicians she works with. They are exactly what you are looking for. They had everything in line days before the wedding and I didn't even need to speak with them on the night of the wedding, which was great because there were so many other things to take care of. If you need ceremony musicians hire Venus, you won't be disappointed.

Venus offers a wide array of musical styles. For us, we wanted classic rock for our all of our ceremony music, including the prelude songs. We had the string quartet play Wonderful Tonight, Hallelujah and All You Need Is Love for our ceremony music and it was perfect. Everyone told us how beautiful the music was. I found Jessica to be really easy to work with and her prices fair.

Venus Ensembles was the perfect touch to my ceremony and cocktail hour. I shopped around and Venus Ensembles was not only the most affordable, but also had the best reviews. I'm happy to add to those glowing reviews. Jessica was so easy to work with. She gave the best suggestions for music. I did not want traditional classic music and instead had the string quartet play modern music during my cocktail hour. Our guests loved it! I highly recommend Venus Ensembles!

We had a guitar and flute duet and they were simply lovely.

We hired a string trio plus trumpet for our wedding at Highlawn Pavilion 3 weeks ago, and were extremely pleased with Venus Ensembles. Throughout the process, Jessica was always available to answer any questions, make suggestions, and give helpful advice. She made sure well in advance that they knew what we wanted and when, and then delivered exactly that on our big day. From the introductory music to the recessional, they were just what we were looking for: prompt, professional, and very talented and skillful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for classical musicians. Highly recommended!

Venus Ensembles provided a trio - violin, viola, and keyboard - for our 12/12/10 wedding in NYC, and I could not recommend them more highly. My fiance and I had some non-traditional requests for our ceremony music (songs by The Pixies, Lady Gaga, and The Police, and "Linus and Lucy" - the theme song from the Peanuts cartoons) and Venus Ensembles completely exceeded our expectations with each. Everything sounded better than we could have ever imagined! I only wish that the processional and recessional could have somehow lasted longer! In the months before the wedding, Jessica at Venus Ensembles was extremely easy to deal with as well - very responsive and and super accomodating of each of our requests. Venus Ensembles added such a special, unique, and memorable aspect to our wedding, and was totally worth the cost. Thank you!!!

Jessica at Venus was so kind and really awesome to deal with. She was very professional, yet very relaxed and I knew that working with them would be the way to go. The day of my wedding, the string trio we hired played beautifully and I got many compliments on their musical ability. I would highly recommend them to play any event-truly a 5 star vendor.

I highly recommend Venus Ensembles. We used them for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and couldn't have been happier! Jessica worked with us to make sure we had the right music to evoke the mood we were going for. They played everything from our favorite composer Satie, to contemporary music for the ceremony, to jazz/ragtime music for cocktail hour. Our guests loved everything and so did we!

Venus Ensembles were excellent! Jessica went above and beyond to make my wedding day special and put much effort into dealing with the music director of my Church. She sought out sheet music and keep in constant communication with me and the "not so easy to deal with" church limitations . I don't think many others would have the type of patience that Jessica displayed throughout the entire planning process! On the day of, the musicians were professional and the music was beautiful; we're still getting compliments on the ceremony music!

Jessica was so wonderful to work with! Her musicians are excellent, masterfully trained and all around professionals. She was responsive, knowledgeable, flexible and helpful throughout the planning process -- even offering to proof our wedding ceremony programs for us! The music Jessica and her string quartet provided for our New York formal, winter wedding was beautiful and added an elegant air of sophistication to the ceremony. I highly recommend Venus Ensembles!!

Venus Ensembles was fantastic. I liaised with Jessica Meyer at the company (she also happened to be a member of the trio that played for us) for music at our wedding. She was incredibly responsive, professional and helpful from beginning to end -- she helped us choose our music and types of musicians, and provided us with some great samples across a wide variety of music and answered any questions we had. She made some wonderful suggestions that would work for our venue. I literally did not need to stress out about anything on the day of the wedding - it was perfect. We ended up having a solo pianist who played jazz songs during cocktail hour, and a string and flute trio that played classical music during dinner. The musicians were on time and the music was absolutely wonderful and beautiful - their transitions were seamless; we truly could not have had a better experience. Venues Ensembles was the only vendor we looked at - they really make things easy! I'm definitely recommending them to everyone I know!
