A Note Above the Rest

I was genuinely in awe when the string quartet began to play at my daughter’s wedding. The music was quite possibly the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. The addition of the strings to an already stunning venue created the perfect atmosphere. I cannot express enough how pleased I was with their performance. During cocktail hour, Tony (the owner of the music company) played piano; he played with such skill that only is seen with one that has an innate musical gift. I was so impressed with the variety of music he played. Many guests came to me throughout the night expressing their enjoyment of his music and the string quartet. Tony is responsive to questions and very accommodating. He and his string quartet were extremely professional and kind. I 100% recommend hiring A Note Above the Rest! You will not be disappointed.
