ceremony musicians

can anyone recommend a decent budget friendly ceremony musician / group?  We'd prefer either a flutist, violinist, or harpist, or some combination thereof.

Thanks so much!

    Check out the Capriccio Emsemble. They have all sorts of combinations you can book and were affordable compared to the other musicians I looked at.

    Ditto this. They are great! If we had money left in the budget we would have booked them. But, alas, we didn't. But they are impressive!

    I love the idea of a harpist but what I am finding is they are very expensive. Would you mind sharing her fee?

    If I remember correctly, she was either 250 or 300.  She was worht every penny though!  I met with her before the wedding and she played for me, we went over a bunch of music and she would get a feel for me, what speeds I liked, etc.  She also would have played my cocktail hour but we just used the piped in music for that.  she was wonderful and I loved loved the harp.  It was worth every penny!

    I also commend Capriccio Ensemble.....

    Natalie was wonderiful to work with and it was probably the most beautiful and 'unique touch" I had at my wedding to have them play during the ceremony. When I watched my video, I couldn't believe how beautiful the music was.  I am so glad we chose them instead of an organist.
