Piano, Violin, and Cello Trio Perfection

Tony was wonderful to work with! I had some very specific pieces of music I wanted for my recent ceremony and he was able to create arrangements for the piano, violin, and cello trio we booked and they were nothing short of flawless. They have a tremendous amount of options for musicians/instrument types which was incredible because I had never even thought that a trio such as we booked was even an option. Highly recommend connecting with Tony and A Note Above the Rest for your ceremony or any other event!

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.
