Wedding Musicians in Raleigh

I absolutely loved working with LaShaundra and Integrity Strings. They were the most professional and reliable vendor we had at our wedding. We worked together to create the perfect playlist for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They played beautifully and I got many compliments about them from guests, even those who aren’t classical music fans. Very reasonably priced for what they offered. Would definitely recommend!!!

I could not recommend Laura and her team more!! They were absolutely incredible and made our ceremony so special with a classic feel. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing they sounded. Great communication, incredibly professional, and very talented!!! 5 stars!

Polly with Elegant Violin was the perfect addition to our big day. Lindsay was wonderful to work with. They have an extensive song list to choose from, and you even have the option to request songs that are not on the list for a reasonable fee. The guests adored her, and the violin invoked a serene feeling during the ceremony and cocktail hour. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Hiring Will Faust to play guitar at our ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! I found Will after doing extensive research online and loved his entire song list. Will was so great and easy to work with leading up to the day, and went above and beyond by creating a custom arrangement for our processional and learning new songs that we requested to walk down the aisle to. We felt confident after having watched many of his YouTube videos and reading so many positive reviews, but were still blown away by his talent the day of. We received so many compliments from our guests, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a solo guitarist!!

Corda entertainment created the environment for both our ceremony and our cocktail hour. I absolutely loved walking down the aisle to the live song of my choosing, and guests kept telling me how much they loved listening to them play before the ceremony. Both parts outdoors and they had no problems with that. Would highly recommend them, additionally they are budget friendly and very easy to communicate with.

We hired a cellist and violinist to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was beautiful and they matched the vibes perfectly. Very professional and nice people. They even picked up hints during our vows that Star Wars was important element of our first date and incorporated that into cocktail hour without asking! They were amazing!

The musicians were awesome and added so much elegance to our wedding reception at Hope Valley Country Club in Durham, NC. Guests raved about them and they were so easy to work with. I am so glad we added Udeshi and her team to our wedding.

Elegant Ensembles did an excellent job performing for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I was so impressed by the string trio's talent. They truly created an elegant, sentimental atmosphere. Mark was very easy to work with from day 1. His prices were among the best I found in the area. We got to choose all the songs that were played out of their extensive repertoire. They even offered to learn a Jewish song to play after the breaking of the glass ("Siman Tov, Mazel Tov"). Sometimes it was difficult to communicate: about a week before the wedding, my emails had not been answered for a couple weeks and I started to worry, but I was finally able to reach Mark by phone, so in the end it wasn't an issue. I was also concerned about timing since they weren't present for the rehearsal, but I shouldn't have worried at all because they were absolute pros and knew exactly when to play what based on the timeline I'd created in their online portal. Everything went off smoothly and beautifully! All in all, I'm very happy that I went with Elegant Ensembles!

I am absolutely thrilled to share my glowing review of MNAX Studio and its incredibly talented owner, Phil. Having known Phil for over 17 years, our journey began when he served as the Music Director for our church. Since then, his musical prowess and exceptional character have only continued to impress and inspire me. When it came time to plan my two sons' weddings this past year, there was no question about who would provide the music for these special occasions. Phil was my first call, and as expected, he delivered performances that were nothing short of magical. As a seasoned and accomplished pianist, Phil has a unique ability to envelop you in his music, infusing deep emotion and feeling into every note, no matter the genre. For the weddings, although Phil is also an exceptional organist, we chose to have him play the piano. His extensive repertoire and versatility shone through as he seamlessly transitioned between the very different musical selections chosen by each bride. One bride opted for the gentle, flowing melodies of Yiruma, a style often described as "contemporary classical." Phil’s performance was so moving and ethereal that it felt like the music was telling a beautiful love story. The other bride’s music choice was a collection of lively, fun-loving showtunes. Phil’s vibrant and energetic playing brought a joyful and celebratory atmosphere to the wedding, captivating all in attendance. The way he performed these contrasting styles with such finesse and passion was truly awe-inspiring. Both weddings were graced with music that perfectly reflected the unique personalities and tastes of the brides, all thanks to Phil's incredible talent. Beyond his musical abilities, Phil is an absolute joy to work with. His professionalism, warm personality, and genuine enthusiasm made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. He listened carefully to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. His dedication and love for his craft are evident in every performance. I cannot recommend MNAX Studio and Phil highly enough. If you are looking for a musician who is not only accomplished but also deeply passionate and a pleasure to collaborate with, look no further. Phil and MNAX Studio will exceed your expectations and leave you with unforgettable musical memories. Thank you, Phil, for making both of my sons' weddings so extraordinarily special.

I had my heart set on a string quartet for our wedding ceremony, but sadly, could not find one that fit into our budget...until I spoke to Ri-Shea and decided on a trio! Not only was she quick to respond, but I saw that her repertoire already included a number of songs I wanted to use. She was also open to playing special requests...some of which I provided her music with, some of which she transcribed herself to fit all 3 parts of the string trio. We elected for a violin, viola, and cello, but they have different combinations including a stand-up bass. They did a wonderful job, were priced very competitively, and I have nothing but great things to say about them! They traveled over an hour and a half away to our ceremony location and were there on time to entertain the guests with prelude music.
