Madeleine was an absolute pleasure to work with while planning my wedding! She is so easy to talk to and I knew I could trust her with our big day during our first phone call.
The music was beautiful, and our guests still continue to tell us how wonderful and classic it was. I cannot thank her enough for helping make my vision came true!!

I’ve spent my entire adult life (I’m 59) in the restaurant business. I’ve worked all over the US and in my capacity as a waiter/bartender I’ve attended dozens of weddings. I endured all manner of drunken toasts and misguided musical choices. That said, my wife and i decided to go with a classical quartet. Trick was that my wife and I both have musical tastes that delve into the fray and we wanted a specific, rather obscure song to be the one which she walked down the aisle to. Madeleine immediately assured us that she and her musicians were up to the task of transposing a non-classical song into a format which could be performed by her and her exceptionally talented well of musicians. All correspondence with her went swimmingly and any questions we had were answered quickly and completely. Her upbeat attitude and friendly demeanor made the planning bit easy. The instructions given to her were followed to the letter with all attention paid to detail. The music was lovely and when they played their interpretation of our song there was not a dry eye in the house. Wedding planning is a gigantic pain in the *** and it was so lovely working with a crew that personified courtesy and professionalism. Do yourself a favor and give yourself one less hassle come wedding day and hire Madeleine’s Musicians for your special day.
Any questions?

Most of my life has been spent in the restaurant industry. I’ve worked all over the United States and in my capacity as a waiter/bartender have witnessed hundreds of weddings. (I’m 59). I’ve endured countless drunken speeches and heard all manner of live music at these events. My wife, Cherice and I decided at our wedding we wanted a simple, lovely rendition of a rather obscure song. Madeleine was not only accommodating around our pick but was remarkably enthusiastic about our choice and the challenge of converting our song into a format playable by her ensemble. Each communication with her was pleasant and prompt as she continued to answer our questions and reassure any doubts we had. When the event unfolded, she and her band mates epitomized courtesy and professionalism. As they executed our requested song there wasn’t a dry eye in the house and the band were stunning in their delivery. One of the band members even took a couple of pictures for us so we could get a photo of all who attended. This band was not only perfect musically but with their charm, humor and poise were an ESSENTIAL element of our day. I cannot recommend them more strongly. If you truly want one less thing to worry about around your wedding plans I strongly urge you to hire this gem of a band leader and her cohorts. You will not be disappointed

Absolutely FANTASTIC group of musicians!
I loved working with Madeleine from my first call until my daughter’s wedding! She was so easy to work with and she gladly learned all the songs my daughter wanted for her wedding although the library of songs she offered was extensive!
I would just like to say that the string quartet was just so beautiful, it was everything we hoped for and more. My guests commented on how fantastic the strings were!
It was such a pleasure for me to deal Madeleine and plan the wedding music I was sad when it was over- I miss talking to Madeleine Just a GREAT EXPERIENCE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MADELEINE MUSICIANS!!

Madeleine was wonderful from start to finish! She took the time to speak with me on the phone so I could understand pricing, instrument, and song options. She was very sweet, genuine, and transparent about the entire process. We had a solo violinist, Gino, for our ceremony and the music was so eloquent! He did a fantastic job and we loved every second of it. Thank you so much for making our day so magical!

Madeline was great to work with! She listened to exactly what we wanted and made professional suggestions for any areas we weren’t decided on. I requested a semi-obscure song be included as part of our ceremony and Madeline and her musicians were able to create sheet music for it so that I could have the song included in my wedding. The two cellos added beauty and intimacy to our ceremony that recorded music just wouldn’t have done. My only regret of the day was not being able to listen to them play more!

Madeleine worked with us to create a perfect ceremony and we are so grateful for the care she (and her musicians) put into making every moment beautiful. The breadth of their music choices ensures that you will have a wide selection of songs to bring the vision you have for your wedding to life (they even arranged and performed a Blink 182 song for us!)
More importantly, her musicians were so professional. I had a chance to observe them interacting with a couple of our vendors and they were so polite and kind to everyone they spoke with. About thirty minutes before the ceremony, I was running around tying up loose ends and it was refreshing to see our violinist and cellist already set up at the ceremony site, practicing the ceremony music (I also appreciate that they quietly practiced my wife's entrance song so that our guests and I didn't have the surprise ruined!).
If you're looking to enhance your ceremony with professional and talented live musicians, we cannot recommend Madeleine's Musicians enough!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Madeleine's Musicians perform at our wedding, and their music made the day truly unforgettable. They created a custom playlist for our intimate ceremony and reception, flawlessly performing every song we requested.
From timeless classics like “All of Me” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love” to modern favorites like “Golden Hour” and “Until I Found You,” every piece was beautifully played and captured the emotion of each moment. They even included unique selections like the Bridgerton theme, “Game of Thrones,” and “Uprising,” which added such a personal touch.
Madeleine's Musicians created the perfect atmosphere for both our ceremony and reception, and their talent brought so much life to our day. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful and special performance.
We highly recommend Madeleine's Musicians to anyone looking for beautiful, personalized music for their special day!

Madeleine and her team of musicians (cellist and vocalist) were a dream to work with for my ceremony music. Madeleine gave me some excellent suggestions which helped me flesh out my vision for the wedding ceremony music. In addition to my classical and traditional hymn requests, they flawlessly performed two vocal specials - a modified version of "Sabbath Prayer" as well as "Wedding Song (There is Love)." Many of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed the gorgeous music! I highly recommend Madeleine for all of your wedding music needs!

Madeleine was so amazing to work with for our wedding! She is very knowledgeable, and she went above and beyond to make sure things were perfect. She and the other musicians who played for the wedding, Josh and Ivana, were incredible, and so many guests have complimented the music.

Working with Madeleine was a wonderful experience. She was very thorough, making sure my wedding was exactly the way my fiancé and I envisioned. She took the time to listen to my music requests and made recommendations of songs based on my taste. She even set up a phone conversation to ensure we were on the same page. Her team are incredibly talented and professional. The ceremony was an absolute dream! We received compliments all evening and I cannot wait to hear them again in our wedding video. I would recommend them to anyone!

Madeleine’s Musicians did an amazing job performing at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! For the ceremony prelude and the ceremony itself, I had them play the violin and cello. Then, during the cocktail hour, the violinist and celloist were joined by a pianist. All of the music I heard was performed beautifully. Of course, I was not around to hear them the entire time they played, but I wish I could have been. I was told by multiple guests that they played beautifully and that it was like something out of a fairytale. They also learned a song at my request, which they played during our unity ceremony. They were flexible, and the communication was excellent. I highly recommend them!

It was an absolute joy working with Madeleine.
She was extremely responsive to my messages via email and text. She was very upfront about musical selections (what would work best vs what would not, which I appreciated immensely). I had several songs I requested to be played that were not part of their musical list - she coordinated in finding sheet music and appropriate arrangements. The string quartet executed everything beautifully.
Reliable, professional & an absolute joy to work with - we are so happy to have used Madeleine’s Musicians for our wedding. Cannot recommend enough!

Words cannot describe how special it was working with Madeleine's Musicians to provide music for our little ceremony. My initial call with Madeleine was so lovely, she was familiar with our venue and was able to make recommendations for what kind of instruments work best, and also gave us peace of mind that we would not need to arrange for sound-system set-up time. Gabe and Buddy played our requests for the fantasy vibes (How to Train Your Dragon, Lord of the Rings, Studio Ghibli) as well as some of my contemporary favorites. Best of all, they were so kind to learn a short song for my processional music, and played it so beautifully. Having live music was something I looked forward to most about our wedding day and it was even more magical to actually have it in the moment! If you are looking for talented musicians to play for your special event, do not hesitate to call on Madeleine's Musicians!

My husband and I had a small wedding in September. We were looking for something special regarding our music choice and we got just that with Madeline and Joshua! They played cello and piano and did not flinch when I had some non traditional song choices. They were very professional and I did not have to worry about a thing regarding music the day of. They sounded beautiful and we received complements from our guests all night. I would recommend them to anyone!
