Our trio (piano, violin, and cello) was absolutely AMAZING and made our day so special! They played all of the music we requested so beautifully, and our guests loved it. Tony was the best vendor to work with, and was so kind and accommodating. You will not be disappointed!

We loved working with this team! We requested a violinist and cellist to play at our wedding during the ceremony and the cocktail hour. They were able to play every song we requested, allowed us to affordably purchase sheet music for less popular songs, and helped us cultivate a beautiful playlist for our special day. The musicians were very professional and flexible the day of and obviously played beautifully. The music certainly elevated our day and we're grateful we made the investment in live music for ourselves and our guests. Tony was our point of contact and communicated so well - he even set up a virtual meeting so we could fully discuss our vision. They offered a wide variety of musicians and we would highly recommend them for all of your music needs.

A Note Above the Rest went above and beyond for our wedding. Our previous musicians cancelled a week before and we scrambled to find replacements.
Tony from A Note Above the Rest worked with us to provide some great musicians for our wedding and cocktail hour. Many of our guests let us know how nice it was to have live music and how much they enjoyed their music! We were pretty upset at the musicians that cancelled, but super happy we found A Note Above the Rest to help us out!
