A Wonderful Quartet and Administration

The quartet's music was exquisite. The director of the group, Paloma, was responsive to what we wanted to quartet to play, gave us suggestions, and both ordered music, with the help of the music librarian, in addition to their excellent repertoire. We couldn't have been happier with the atmosphere the quartet provided. The music was an integral part of our rehearsal dinner.

phenomenal, beautiful music

Martha Long played flute for our wedding ceremony, and she was spectacular. She was incredibly flexible with meeting our needs for custom songs - and she played flawlessly. I would recommend Martha without reservation, she is phenomenal!!!

We had the flute trio for the ceremony and cocktails. Absolutely loved the music, classical and elegant for a beautiful summer afternoon in a garden.

The Utmost Professional Company

We hired the Melagari Chamber Music Players to play at our son's wedding. We even requested a couple of special arrangements. They were so amazing and made our son's wedding even that more special! Easy to work with, communicate with and they were very attentive to our needs. We 100% recommend them!

Love the group. Made our day so very special!

We loved having the Melegari Chamber Players at our wedding. Having live music for the pre-wedding, ceremony, and cocktail hour made the day so special. Our guests continue to rave about the quality of the group and how unique it was to have them there. Very affordable for what you get, and worth every penny!

Sarah and all the ladies at Melegari Chambers were wonderful to work with! They were very accommodating to specific requests and the contracts and payment were completed easily. I would recommend them for anyone looking for live music for a wedding and/or any event they are hosting!

My family hired the Melegari Players to play a 90th birthday party. They were superb from every possible perspective. Beautiful music. Deep repertoire. Excellent communication. Effortless flexibility. Good-tempered understanding of crowd and party dynamics. We would hire the Melegari Chamber Players again in a second.

Havig Melegari play at both our wedding ceremony and reception was one of the best decisions I made in preparation for our wedding; the joy they brought to the day through their music defined our wedding day. Paloma was absolutely fabulous to work with. She asked great questions to understand what we truly wanted, always responded quickly, gave excellent recommendations, and had great solutions to make it all cost effective. The music selections we ended up with just personalized our wedding so much and made the music about us and our families. Even though our first dance song was not on their repertoire, they learned it quickly and played it perfectly for one of my favorite and most joyful moments looking back at our wedding. The string quartet playing the father daughter dance was also just wonderful and brought happy tears to our eyes. I can't say enough for the entire group and am so grateful I found them. Thank you!!!

Sarah Roth was my contact person for arranging for music at my daughter's wedding.
She was very helpful during the process leading up to the wedding and the music on the wedding day was
lovely. The live music before the ceremony gave such a welcoming feel to our guests, the ceremony music
was beautiful and the music during cocktails continued the joyous feeling of the day. It was a pleasure working with Sarah and the Melegari Chamber Players.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the pleasure of working with the Melegari Chamber Players this summer at Zenith Vineyards in Salem, Oregon, and I was highly impressed. For both the quartet that played at the reception and the larger ensemble that played during the ceremony, the amazing sound quality and the obvious talent of the musicians were unsurpassed by any live music I've witnessed during many years of photographing weddings. The group was prompt and professional and both the couple and their guests enjoyed them immensely. Well done!

Collage Music Collage Music Wedding Musicians

I have had the pleasure of working with a number of individuals who are part of Melegari over the years (as part of Collage Music or in other classical music engagements). They are highly polished, very professional musicians and wonderful people too!
