About Ambience Live

Ambience Live

Founder

Ambience Live is a collective of NYC-based musicians trained at The Juilliard School and other top U.S. conservatories. We've performed at Carnegie Hall, The Met Museum and The Frick Collection, and now we bring that same world-class musicianship to your wedding. We offer soloists, duos, trios, quartets and larger ensembles, featuring strings, guitar, voice, flute and more. Everything is tailored to your taste, from classical and jazz to timeless favorites and Bridgerton-style covers of modern pop songs. Not sure what you're after? Just tell us the vibe and your budget. Ceremony packages start at $750, with discounted rates when you book music for multiple parts of your day. We'd love to help make your day memorable, special and seamless!

What makes Ambience Live special is how personal we make it. Every performance is shaped around you, from the genre and repertoire to the instruments themselves. Whether you love classical, jazz, pop covers, or something in between, or you’re dreaming of a specific pairing like flute and cello, we’ll make it happen. Behind it all is a roster of young, conservatory-trained musicians who play at the highest level and are eager to share what they do.

    Excellent

    From the moment we started planning, Ambience Live made everything simple with their prompt and clear communication. They understood exactly what we wanted and worked with us to make sure every detail was perfect. During cocktail hour, their live music set the ideal tone for our guests to relax and enjoy themselves. The wuartet’s performance was excellent and truly elevated the entire evening. We were blown away by their professionalism and how seamlessly they executed our vision. If you're looking for music that delivers top-class entertainment, Ambience Live is absolutely worth booking.

    Wonderful addition to our engagement party!

    Musicians from Ambience Live performed at our engagement party in May of 2026. We requested a string quartet to play background classical music for the "reception" portion, and that was all the information they needed, performing the perfect soundtrack for the event. They were a fantastic addition that elevated our event - super organized and on the ball. I couldn't recommend them enough!
