Photo of Jennyandthekelts Jennyandthekelts "A devilish rhythm, a galloping melody and a captivating voice" 15th July 2026 Denis Popper music mag - Pop celtic contemporary artist Photo of Skapa Skapa "SKAPA played at our wedding and did an incredible job. From our first interaction, they were warm, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. They played all of the music we requested, including several custom songs, and everything felt thoughtful and personal. They helped make our wedding day feel special and unforgettable. We are so grateful and would recommend SKAPA without hesitation." 15th July 2026 Jared and Sumedha - Wedding Photo of eMiXa eMiXa "I highly recommend eMiXa! Communication was excellent from the very beginning. We came from Poland and decided to book her without ever meeting her in person, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Even though the time of our wedding ceremony changed, she was fully prepared, flexible, and everything went according to plan. Her live violin performance during the ceremony created a beautiful and emotional atmosphere that made our day even more special. It is clear that eMiXa is highly professional, passionate about her work, and truly dedicated to what she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding violinist." 17th July 2026 Karolina & Oskar, Poland 🇵🇱 - Wedding ceremony music Photo of Anton Violinist & Ensemble Anton Violinist & Ensemble "Thank you Anton You made our NYE musically so joyful !😀 Wishing you and your teammates a very happy new year" 11th August 2026 E.M. - Private NYE Concert Photo of Sax&Piano Wedding Music Sax&Piano Wedding Music "Simply extraordinary. We chose Sax & Piano for our wedding and we couldn’t have wished for anything better. From the very first contact they were professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our requests. On the wedding day they created a magical atmosphere: the sound of the sax, combined with the elegance of the piano, accompanied every moment with emotion and refinement. Our guests were enchanted, and many of them asked us for their details. They perfectly captured the mood of the day, moving from romantic and delicate pieces to more lively moments during the aperitif. Outstanding musical quality and constant emotion. We are truly happy we chose them — they made our day even more special. We recommend them wholeheartedly." 19th August 2026 Anna e Christopher - Private Wedding Photo of Spiritus Mundi Crescentis Spiritus Mundi Crescentis "What a show last night! We're still talking about it at breakfast." 21st September 2026 Adrienne Shulman

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for classical ensembles ranges from $250 to $1,900+, with an average of $800. The main factor is the number of musicians in the group, as ensembles can range from trios to larger chamber groups. Performance duration, repertoire and the experience of the players also influence the cost.

Many classical ensembles offer arrangements of popular songs, film soundtracks and contemporary hits alongside their classical repertoire. This allows the music to appeal to a wider audience while maintaining the elegant sound of acoustic instruments. It is advisable to check each ensemble's profile for their full repertoire.
