"To Whom it May Concern:
Having known and collaborated with Ms. Natalie Kriegler and the Capriccio Ensemble for several years now, I highly recommend the Capriccio Ensemble for any event requiring fine music.
The Capriccio Ensemble plays an eclectic assortment of styles from sacred, to classical to contemporary. They have performed in various settings - in churches, in concert halls, outdoors, etc., and excel with whatever repertoire and whatever venue in which they are asked to perform.
I highly recommend the Capriccio Ensemble for your next event or service. You will not be disappointed with them.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Capriccio Ensemble. They seriously were on of my favorite wedding vendors to work with. I had always wanted to have ceremony musicians for our wedding ceremony but wasn't sure we could afford it. I inquired with Natalie about what we wanted for our ceremony and she quickly responded to all of my phone calls and emails. After meeting with Natalie, hearing the music samples and given a quote, we knew right away we wanted Capriccio Ensemble to play for our wedding. I basically only knew what song I wanted to walk down the aisle to and left a lot of the other songs to Natalie's expertise and couldn't have been happier.
As the wedding day approached, Natalie contacted me to confirm all the songs and when the wedding day came, the musicians were on time and played absolutely beautifully (We had a duet: cellist and violinist). Family members still rave to us about how beautiful Capriccio Ensemble played. Being that we were getting married in a Catholic Church, only classical/religious songs were allowed. However, my husband and I loved the song "Bittersweet Symphony" for when we exited the church. Natalie came up with an idea right away and cleverly transitioned a classical song into the "Bittersweet Symphony" song for our exit that not only sounded beautiful but also simply flowed from one song to the other. We were thrilled at how perfect it sounded!
I highly recommend Caprricio Ensemble for your ceremony musicians. They get 5 stars all across the board!!

Capriccio Ensemble made our wedding day so unique and special! Natalie was amazing to work with - she's so kind, thoughtful, and really passionate about her work. She also is very professional, yet personable, and answered all e-mails promptly (even on weekends!). She is also incredibly talented! We wanted a solo violinist for our outdoor ceremony of about 120 people and the result surpassed all expectations. My husband and I had a blast sampling all of the songs on Capriccio's user-friendly repertoire template that we used to choose our favorites. Each song we selected was truly special to us, and when I heard Natalie play them during the ceremony, it gave our ceremony that extra dream-like element.
Natalie was there every step of the way helping us to customize our ceremony to our liking. She remembered every detail, arrived early, and even coordinated with our officiant. I highly recommend Capriccio Ensemble!

Capriccio Ensemble made my wedding dreams come true! I used to play cello as a girl and the sound of classical music always made me happy. Close to the wedding day, I realized I wanted the beautiful sound of violin and cello to play during the ceremony. Capriccio Ensemble's talent exuded the love and romanticism that my husband and I have for each other. They truly made our ceremony perfect. Walking down the aisle with my dad, I was overfilled with happiness as classical music filled the chapel. Thank you, Capriccio Ensemble, for all of your hard work!

From our first conversation with Natalie, we knew that Capriccio Ensemble would be the perfect addition to our wedding. We had a 3 piece trio from the Capriccio Ensemble perform during our outside wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They traveled a great distance from their location to be a part of our wedding day, and we are so glad they did! Whenever we talked with Natalie, we really felt like she was listening to our needs and visions for our wedding day. The whole process was easy and comfortable. She sent us multiple music samples and suggestions that helped in making our decision to work with them a simple one. We always felt like we were in good hands and that our stresses over wedding planning could be directed elsewhere. She was quick to get back to us, whenever we contacted her, and she made us feel like her top priority. Natalie worked with us to help create a contemporary yet classic playlist that reflected both our tastes and vision for our day. Her expertise and professionalism is unmatched. Natalie and her team truly made our wedding day complete. Thanks, Capriccio Ensemble!

OMG Natalie was the best. I had so many people rave about them and think it was so awesome my bridesmaids walked down the aisle to Guns n roses November rain. I walked down to a thousand years. It was just perfect. I didn’t really get to hear them in the cocktail hour as I was so insanely busy but I heard they were amazing. They just added to the wedding and made it more perfect. Like I said we really had the dream team of wedding vendors.
