Why hire Elegant Ensembles? What makes us different?
There are several things that make Elegant Ensembles different from other regional ensembles and student groups. We hope that the difference is made obvious with the information on our website. Here is a list explaining how we achieve superior professionalism and quality of service for our clients.
1. Professional Quality - Elegant Ensembels is comprised of a small set of dedicated, professional musicians. All of the musicians that perform are degreed professionals that perform on their instrument for their livelihood. Beyond this, these musicians also have many years of wedding experience. Weddings inherently have unique needs and details during the ceremony that require the upmost care. Our musicians all respect the importance of your special day and work to perform and act accordingly. We do not use student musicians or put together ad hoc ensembles. The musicians each know each other and have performed together on many occasions.
2. Repertoire - Elegant Ensembles has one of the largest sets of music from which to choose in the area. We have classical selections, tangos, pop tunes, jazz, and broadway music. If we don't have the music you need, we will work to find or arrange the music for your event. Preview our Reportoire
3. SamePage - SamePage is a communication tool to literally insure that everyone is "on the same page" regarding details of your event. Read about SamePage.
4. Organization - Elegant Ensembles has a unique method of organization to insure that the music for your event is performed in the correct order and efficiently during the service. Ask us how we make this "simple" so that musicians are not fumbling around looking for the Wedding March! We also realize that outside events present unique challenges and we have several methods to deal with wind, insects, and heat.
5. Experience - We have performed at over 800 weddings during the 11 years of direction and organization by Mark Snow. This amount of time has led to an efficient process and time to learn what works best for music at weddings.
6. Ensemble Variety - We can perform as a solo instrument or as a small chamber orchestra. Most weddings call for at least a duet. Trios and quartets are effective to provide sufficient volume and musical texture for weddings of more than 50 guests.
7. Fast Service - We anwer request for quotes within 24 hours and in most cases many simple questions are responded to within minutes from you sending an email. We believe it is important for you to have the answers you need to help make your overall planning go smoothly.
8. One Contact - You will work exclusively with Mark Snow to organize your event. We do not "sub" out your event to another ensemble or pass the organizational aspects to other musicians. All of the musicians that perform are experienced at weddings and have been performing for many years. SamePage keeps everyone informed and on track as well as updates and 48 hour pre-event checklist reminders sent by Mark Snow to all musicians.
