Hiring Noteworthy Music was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding day. Paul's beautiful music warmed the hearts of every guest during the ceremony. He played our custom song requests with absolute perfection and stunning emotion. Communication before the big day was smooth, professional, and completely stress-free. I give Noteworthy Music my highest recommendation to any couple looking for unforgettable wedding elegance.

We are extremely happy with the services Paul provided for our wedding ceremony earlier this month! We had a vision of a violinist/cello duo performing for our ceremony, and then for our cocktail hour, and it was nothing short of amazing! Paul was very attentive and played many songs for us live via Skype after we hired him, and it truly helped us decide what music we would like played for our wedding. He was extremely flexible and learned many songs we wanted outside of the large array of music he already had available, and we are truly grateful for that! Very affordable, and professional from start to finish. Thanks again, Paul!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

Hello, this is Paul Huppert with Noteworthy Music, thank you for your interest! I do play a lot of solo violin for events both indoor and out. Playing everything from classical, to modern day popular songs. Electric Violin, enables me to play wedding ceremony favorites such as selections from "La La Land" "Viva La Vida" "One Thousand Years" “Perfect” and many others, with backing tracks. In addition to ceremonies I frequently perform for cocktail segments and receptions playing jazz, hip hop, pop, rock, Celtic and much more! Violin and guitar is a combination that works very well for medium sized gatherings, being that the guitar is amplified, and the violin can be as well. For examples of my playing you can either Google my name, or find me on YouTube, (also Vimeo). LGBTQ friendly. Noteworthy Music, based in Collinsville, IL, offers premier wedding music services.

Lastly, this is an important part for me, Paul was very quick to respond to every email, text, and call that was made to him. Can't wait to work with him again in the future.

Response from Noteworthy Music on 10/10/2016

I think the best part of providing live music for events is seeing the parts come together...

into a kind of seamless whole. Always nice to put people at ease when a situation arises, I try to keep in mind that an occasion that I provide live music for is very special and important in the minds of the people hiring me, and always try to do my best!

Choosing to hire Noteworthy Music was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. Paul was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond anything we expected ...

from live musicians. He met with us before the wedding to go over song choices and demonstrated each song so that we could hear the music before we made our decision. He was wonderful to get ahold of and answered any questions promptly. We loved the music at the wedding and it made the whole ceremony feel like a dream. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to everyone!
