    10/10 Recommend!

    Udeshi is amazing! We actually did not plan to have a violinist for our wedding, but we heard her at an open house and she was memorizing to listen to and watch. We looked into other violinist just to make sure we wanted to book Udeshi and in our opinion, it was a night and day difference between and others. Her and celloist played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Unfortunately, we did not hear her too much that day due to pictures and such, but our guests loved her! Would 100% recommend.

    It was so wonderful to work with you for your wedding, Rebecca. Thank you for your kind words. Your wedding day was beautiful!

    Absolutely wonderful

    Words cannot express how wonderful Udeshi was to work with for my daughter’s wedding. Not only was her playing spectacular, she is an absolute joy to be around. We unfortunately had the wedding during a tropical storm but this did not deter her at all. She was the utmost professional and all our other musicians just loved her. She took the time to get to know us and assured us that everything would be ok in light of the bad weather. Choosing her for our wedding music was one of the best decisions we made. I will always be thankful for her presence and support

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Carol. It was wonderful to work with you. I'm so glad the tropical storm did not completely interfere with your daughter's special day! It was a beautiful wedding!

    Highly Recommend Udeshi Hargett Ensembles!

    Udeshi Hargett Ensembles was the perfect addition to our wedding day! My mother really wanted to incorporate a string quartet into our ceremony and the moment we heard the ensemble's sample music we knew we had to book them. Udeshi was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the planning process. We had multiple phone calls to discuss our vision for ceremony music and she really tailored the music to fit our taste and style. During one of our initial conversations she found out we were doing a Sri Lankan wedding ceremony and immediately offered to learn and play some of the traditional songs to accompany our ceremony. When we found out last minute we wouldn't have access to a microphone for the ceremony Udeshi went out of her way to coordinate one for us. On the wedding day Udeshi and her team were punctual and professional. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the ensemble even came dressed in saris! Their music was the perfect touch to our ceremony and many of our guests raved about their performance to us. Udeshi's strolling violinist act was such a big hit at our cocktail hour that our guests were singing and dancing along to her playful tunes! It was thoughtful touches like this from dedicated vendors like Udeshi that really made our wedding day so special and unique. I highly recommend Udeshi Hargett Ensembles for your wedding music - you will not regret it!

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Natalie, thank you so much for your kind words. We loved playing at your wedding, it was so lovely and exciting to see the mixture of cultures creating a beautiful union. Best wishes to you in your marriage.

    A fairytale wedding

    Udeshi played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We heard her at an open house and knew we had to book her for our wedding. She is so talented and we would totally recommend her for any wedding!

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Hannah, Thank you so much for your review and kind words. I'm so glad that you heard me play and wanted to work with us. (:

    Amazing team of musicians

    We loved having Udeshi Hargett Ensembles at our wedding. They played an important role in creating an elegant atmosphere and a memorable experience for our guests. They also attended our wedding rehearsal and played during the rehearsal dinner. Having them at the rehearsal was very helpful to our wedding party, as we got to run through the ceremony with music. The quartet was amazing and they played during our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. Udeshi helped us greatly with every detail of planning our music. It was absolutely magical, and we highly recommend them.

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    It was a pleasure to work with you, Ryan. I'm so glad that you found the rehearsal to be helpful! It is always nice to have extra reassurance that everything will go as close to plan as possible.

    So elegant and classy!

    I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed Udeshi Hargett’s music at our wedding. It made the wedding feel so elegant and all my friends really loved it too. She was very professional and so lovely to work with. We can’t wait to hire her for other family events in the future.

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    You are so kind, Charlotte and wonderful to work with. Your wedding was so beautiful. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

    Wedding duet

    My daughter was married in May of 2023 at The Cornelius Properties in Goldsboro. We hired Udeshi Hargett Ensembles to play at the wedding. Udeshi was fabulous to work with from the beginning stages of planning the music to the very last of the decision making. The music was beautiful and I highly recommend this professional group of musicians. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give them a perfect 10!

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Deborah. Your wedding was beautiful and such a joy to play at.

    Amazing, elegant!

    Hiring Udeshi and her group for our wedding was absolutely the best decision! She was incredible and helped us select pieces for our ceremony (cello and violin together) that worked with exactly what we wanted for our day and sounded so beautiful. She also used our preferences and thoughts to pick certain pieces for cocktail hour. All of our guests raved about how wonderful she was and how fun it was to have her walk around during cocktail hour! So talented, kind, approachable, organized, and easy to work with! She was excellent in every way and I cannot say enough great things!

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Amanda! It was a pleasure to work with you to pick out music that would help make your special day just the way you wanted it.

    Udeshi was great!

    We decided on a single violinist for our ceremony and cocktail hour and we were so satisfied with our decision to hire Udeshi. Not only was she amazing, but it was also her birthday! So thankful she decided to share her birthday with us to help make our day perfect. I knew most of the songs I wanted to be played during the ceremony but whenever I was unsure of some songs, she gave great recommendations. If you’re unsure of having a violinist for your wedding, I promise you won’t regret it!

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Erin, Thank you for writing such an impressive review for me. It was such a pleasure to be a part of your gorgeous wedding on my birthday. I will cherish those memories forever.

    Top Shelf!

    Top shelf! Udeshi, Jaimi, Audrey & David delivered. worked with them for over a year. Udeshi took my 14 page handwritten list of a combination of traditional, classic and contemporary music and created a fairytale and elegant atmosphere for the prelude, ceremony, postlude and cocktail hour. we had approximately 145 guests A special treat was during the cocktail hour where while the trio entertained guests under the tent, Udeshi entertained other guests around the venue with her signature strolling violinist. Truly a magical evening. thanks Udeshi Hargett Ensembles! 5 stars from the Castleberrys and Cannons!

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    I appreciate you taking the time to write a wonderful review for us, Elaine. It was such a pleasure working with you! We will always remember your beautiful wedding.

    Amazing violinist!

    Udeshi helped to select the pieces that set a very elegant atmosphere for our wedding. She saved us time and energy from having to research music. She collaborated with the pianist and rehearsed together to provide the best possible result. She attended the wedding rehearsal to give everyone in the wedding party an idea of the music for each processional. She entertained the guests during the prelude, ceremony, communion and post ceremony. Udeshi gave us a piece of mind knowing the music was taken care of, so we can focus on our big day!

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Christy, It is a pleasure to have you write such a wonderful review for me. The experience of working with you was delightful. My memories of your gorgeous wedding will last a lifetime.

    Incredible!

    Udeshi did a wonderful job! Starting from the first call with her after she was recommended by a friend she helped so much with making the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour what we wanted. When I didn’t know what songs to use she was quick to give recommendations from my description of what I wanted the day to be like. All of her options for the ceremony itself were beautiful and exactly what we wanted. She also played for the cocktail hour, which was a special way to continue the music before the reception. I’m so glad we were able to have Udeshi at our wedding day because she really helped to make it everything we wanted it to be.

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Stephanie, It is a pleasure to read your kind review. I enjoyed helping you pick the music that would be meaningful to you on your special day. Your wedding was so lovely and memorable!

    Highly recommended!

    We are thrilled that we were able to hire Udeshi Hargett Ensembles for our wedding. They came highly recommended from our planner and other vendors we met. Udeshi was great to work with and made the music selection process so easy. We had the string quartet play for our church ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was breathtaking and created a magical atmosphere. All the musicians were very professional and so nice. The music was a highlight at our wedding and our guests are still raving about it. We highly recommend Udeshi Hargett Ensembles.

    Excellent trio and traveling violinist service!

    Udeshi and her team were amazing, responsive and well received! She even let me reschedule not once not twice but three times finally landing on our 12.11.21 wedding! I was thrilled with their music ranging from our favorite musicals to classical to the Beatles - I only wish I had gotten to hear more, but as the bride, I wasn't around for Udeshi's fabulous traveling playing at our cocktail hour -- I heard great things though! Highly recommend!

    Udeshi is worth it!

    Live music is indescribably powerful. 10/10 would recommend Udeshi, and I wouldn't change a thing. If you're questioning hiring her, DO NOT HESITATE. You won't regret it.

    Udeshi and cellist David captured the essence of our relationship and turned it into a literal tearful event of emotion on our special day. I (the groom) was in tears even before walking down the aisle with my groomsmen at the sound of the violin and cello.. and again when my bride walked towards me (there's video proof).

    She was very flexible, despite the craziness of COVID restrictions. Udeshi and David also studio recorded every song played, specifically for us to use in our wedding video and to keep forever.

    Udeshi Hargett Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderful review. I am truly thankful to have had the chance to witness such a beautiful celebration of love and commitment. Playing at your ceremony and for your wedding video will always be a special memory for us. I'm sure you have lots of wonderful memories that will last a lifetime from your wedding day.

    Top notch!

    We had a great experience with Udeshi and her musicians. Our guests raved about their music. The whole team was a dream to work with. We are so happy that we found them (several people recommended them) and they exceeded our expectations. You are in good hands with Udeshi and her team. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much Udeshi and team for making our dreams come true!
