Beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour music

I hired Ensemble Cascade for my November 2024 wedding and it was so perfect! My planner advised that a string duet would be plenty for the ceremony hall and they did not disappoint! I heard it all the way from the second floor corridor leading to the ceremony space. Every piece was played beautifully and my guests were so happy with it. Ronelle was so great to talk to about my ceremony music. I was particular with the bridal procession and they perfected the mash-up I wanted, starting at the spots I wanted. She also asked about artist/song preferences pre-ceremony and for cocktail hour so it was more personalized. I'm so happy with their service and cannot speak highly enough of Ensemble Cascade!

Incredible Violin and Cello Duet

Ensemble Cascade was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding. After finalizing our wedding date and venue, we began searching for wedding musicians in Banff and came across Ensemble Cascade. Upon connecting with Ronelle and listening to their repertoire, we knew they were the one! Ronelle's attention to detail and genuine care for our vision truly set them apart.

The ensemble added a special touch that perfectly complemented our church ceremony. From the moment guests arrived to the final notes of our recessional, they captivated everyone with their talent and professionalism. We are incredibly grateful to have had them be part of our big day and highly recommend them to couples looking for exceptional wedding musicians in the Banff area. They truly made our wedding ceremony magical.

Beautiful Addition to Banff Wedding

Ensemble Cascade did a truly outstanding job with our wedding. I picked them because they had experience with both classical & Irish string music. Not only are they incredible musicians (I cried when we had our preview together it was so beautiful!), they also collaborated with us so patiently during the wedding planning process. I had a specific vision in my mind for the ceremony music and Ronelle patiently collaborated with me every step of the way. The result was pure magic and more than anything I could have hoped for. They are absolutely incredible musicians. If you're looking for live music, don't hesitate to book!

Amazing touch to our wedding

When I inquired with Ensemble Cascade for our wedding date, Ronelle let me know her husband that she normally performs with would be out of town, but her brother also plays the cello and could be available. First of all, how awesome is that!! Such a talented family.

Working with Ronelle and her brother Graham was such a pleasure. Ronelle was quick in communicating everything we needed to know, so friendly, and her and Graham went the extra mile to learn a couple of songs for us. I can’t wait to get our video from the ceremony back because I want to be able to relive it all as it went by too quickly.

They were so professional, reliable, and incredibly talented. 10/10 I would highly recommend for any wedding music needs. It was the perfect touch to make our intimate wedding feel so special.

Thank you Ronelle and Graham!

Absolutely incredible!

We hired Ronelle & Nigel for our August 2021 wedding ceremony and they were an absolute dream to work with. They were extremely fast in responding to emails, their recommendations for the playlist were perfect, and were accommodating in playing songs not in their repertoire. For my procession I had dreamt of a song that was strictly piano, and their rendition with a cello/violin duet was perfect. Their music made our wedding ceremony, I couldn't have been happier. If you are on the fence about including live music in your wedding ceremony, use this review as a sign that it is exactly what you need and Ronelle and Nigel will absolutely deliver!

Professional, friendly, personable

We hired Ensemble Cascade to play at our small elopement ceremony and were extremely pleased with both their performance and their communication. Ronelle was helpful in picking music choices that best suited our unique tastes, and was more than accommodating when our desired song choice wasn’t in their usual repertoire. Our guests also commented on what a nice addition their duet was to our ceremony. If you are looking for musicians in the Banff area, I would absolutely recommend hiring Ensemble Cascade!

Learned & Played New Songs for Our Day

My husband and I chose songs that were really out of the norm in terms of playing at a wedding ceremony; like Teenage Dirtbag for the Signing of the License. Ronelle and Nigel - although busy teaching at a music camp - were willing to learn 3 new songs for our wedding. We provided them with the sheet music (a week and a bit before our big day) and they played our songs wonderfully. Many thanks, Ronelle & Nigel!
