    Exceeds expectations

    After reading reviews and listening to demo music I was confident that the music for my daughter’s Wedding Mass would be special. Their performance exceeded my high expectations.

    Allegro Chamber Players's reply:

    Thank you Kathleen for reaching out. Your daughter's Nuptial Mass was beautiful and your guests were most gracious. I am glad that our service met your expectations. It was an honor performing for your family! Best wishes, The ACP Team

    Phenomenal

    Allegro Chamber Players played our wedding and cocktail hour.

    Michael Monte went so far above and beyond for us, it made everything so magical. The team worked with us with a unique song to walk down the isle to. They sent us a demo CD for us to review and sample. Michael even helped wrangle all of the wedding party they day of to ensure everyone marched with the music!

    Without this team our day would have been so much less than it was. They are professional, highly communicative, respectful wonderful people and excellent musicians to top it off.

    We completely recommend and if for some reason you are on the fence, don't worry. This is the team you want for your wedding.

    Mike and team are amazing!

    Allegro Chamber Players made my wedding a hit!! I was so surprised with how many guest contacted us after the wedding to say cocktail hour was there favorite part of the day. Mike was able to mix in some of my favorite pop/r&b songs with a touch of classical music, and that's what we wanted our guest to experience. From the first day we connected Mike was attentive willing to educate and offer recommendations. He and his team are truly talented. If you're thinking of booking them, do it!! You won't regret it.

    Can't recommend enough!

    Allegro Chamber Players were amazing to work with and added a beautiful touch to our special day! We had done ample research with other vendors and Michael's musical passion, eagerness to respond, and warmth surrounding the importance of our day made it an easy choice to move forward. They have a great, large variety of options within their repertoire. On the day of they added zero stress and extra beauty! Afterwards they even sent a letter, which was a really special touch to an already great service.

    I can't recommend them enough!

    Musicians for ceremony

    Everybody at my wedding loved the Allegro Chamber Players. They did a great job with the music for my wedding ceremony. Michael Monte talked with me multiple times and made sure that I had everything I wanted for the ceremony music. I loved the song choices they had. The music sounded beautiful. I am so glad I had live music!

    Style, class, elegance.

    Michael Monte is a personable, affable, likeable man. And that’s just where it starts. In June of 2021, my fiancé and I began to assemble what indeed became a dream team of vendors for our May, 2023 wedding on Aquidneck Island. One of the first calls we made was to Michael Monte of Allegro Chamber Players. He had worked my parents’ 50th Anniversary in 2002, where he made an impression to be remembered for its class, fineness, and affordability. Relatives who attended that event two decades ago were excited to learn that ACP would be here once again to provide the perfect musical context for our own ceremony. And perfect it was. Thirty minutes beforehand, our guests began arriving as Michael’s professional and gifted musicians performed lovely selections that we had chosen mindfully on our own and also from ACP’s endless repertoire. Under sunny blue skies and ideal temperatures, ACP charmed an already dignified atmosphere on the banks of the Sakonnet River into a musical picture of grace and elegance befitting the celebration. Afterward, the trio transitioned seamlessly to providing a splendid melodic backdrop throughout the cocktail hour, and our guests continue to compliment us on the wonderful ensemble. If you’re searching for a way to turn your wedding into a thing of extraordinary beauty through music, reach out to Michael Monte and his Allegro Chamber Players.

    Allegro Chamber Players's reply:

    Good morning Jeff, Thank you so-much for the review! It was so nice to see you again after 21 years. Your ceremony was endearing, your guests were gracious, the setting was amazing, and the weather was perfect. We are truly honored that you chose us to perform for your most important day. Congratulations from the ACP Team.

    The Allegro Players plus a trumpeter provided wonderful music for our daughters wedding ceremony outside and the cocktail hour.

    Michael was great about getting in touch and communicating to set the music for the ceremony. He and the other players were punctual, professional and very pleasant to deal with. They also played beautifully! We wanted live music and they were perfect for the venue at Linden Place. I can’t recommend them enough.

    The perfect addition to our cocktail hour!

    The Allegro Chamber Players performed at the cocktail hour of our wedding on 11/04/22 in Newport, RI. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and their performance was beautiful! Planning with Michael was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed each phone call I had with him leading up to the wedding. While we had a DJ for our reception, we knew we wanted an element of live music during the evening, and ACP was the perfect touch. I can't recommend them enough!

    Best part of our wedding!

    Working with Michael Monte and the Allegro Chamber players had us looking forward to our wedding day the most! We loved dealing with experienced professionals. Michael worked with us on the phone for hours helping us perfect our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. The music was everything we dreamed of. I had family members in tears because the Chamber Players were able to play Irish Eyes are Smiling. We absolutely loved working with the Allegro Chamber Players and hope we can work with them again soon! We highly recommend them for any wedding or event!

    Truly memorable!

    From the beginning, Micheal was easy and most helpful to work with. His guidance and knowledge of music made making our music choices for our ceremony and our cocktail hour enjoyable and without stress. He assisted us with coordination the day of our wedding and assured everything was organized and completed timely.. A pleasure to work with and the talent of he and his musicians was more than magical. A Peaceful and loving atmosphere was accomplished with their art of music.

    Amazing! So easy to work with and BEAUTIFUL music!

    My husband and I are so glad that we found and hired Allegro Chamber Players for our wedding this year! They were extremely professional and communicative from the early stages of wedding planning and were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. On the actual wedding day, our guests were able to enjoy the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour with beautiful music performed by ACP. Thank you for making our day so special!

    Top notch wedding music experience!

    The Allegro Chamber Players came highly recommended to us from our wedding venue and we are so happy we chose them for our wedding day! Michael was so easy to work with and provided a detailed overview of everything from our first conversation. He made sure the entire process was seamless and it was one of the easiest parts to plan with his assistance. ACP are a a group of talented musicians that played beautiful music for our chapel wedding. Can't speak highly enough about them! If you are looking for classy/elegant music for your wedding, they are the group!

    Such a lovely group!

    We found ACP through a third-party booking website, by submitting an inquiry. At the time, I didn’t know it, but my church required that we use their string group instead. Michael from ACP called me in response to my inquiry, and I was so impressed by our detailed phone conversation that I was saddened to report to him that we weren’t allowed to book him. After a situation arose that allowed us to ultimately book an external vendor, I called Michael back immediately and was so excited they were still free! We hired them for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. Michael was so great to coordinate with for the ceremony because he himself is a Catholic, so he knew each part of the mass by heart and had great experience with which songs to play when during the mass. When we’d talk on the phone, we’d have such lovely conversations about the beautiful pieces they were going to play. We decided to also book them to play some more contemporary pieces during our cocktail hour, and they even arranged a song for us that they hadn’t played in the past. We got so many compliments from our guests about their talent and professionalism, and we were so happy we hired them! Thank you ACP!

    5-Star Ceremony Musicians!

    My husband and I hired the Allegro Chamber Players for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We were referred their services from our venue, Aldrich Mansion. They came highly recommended, and we loved that they specialized in Catholic ceremonies as we were married at OLP chapel on-site. Michael was our point person. He is extremely through and detailed, and as a very organized person myself, I very much appreciated this. He helped us select the perfect musical accompaniments to our ceremony. At cocktail hour, we asked that more modern pieces be played for our guests, and everyone loved recognizing all their favorite songs. These musicians are experienced, talented, and professional. They were a beautiful and timeless additional to our day. I would be happy to recommend their services to anyone!

    Best decision I made for my wedding

    I initially discovered Allegro on a recommended vendors page for the venue we booked (Aldrich Mansion, also 5 stars). We knew we wanted to have a DJ for our reception but we also wanted live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We gave Allegro a call and they send us a lovely collection of demo recordings. Obviously, we decided to book them for our wedding.

    Michael was in contact with us throughout the planning process, offering advice and smoothing the entire experience. On the day of the event, they were on time, played beautifully, and were generally fantastic! I highly recommend for any events where live classical musicians would be appreciated!

    Excellent experience.

    Absolutely beautiful music! Highly recommend. Beyond the music, Michael is a true professional and an absolute gentleman. He cares about his clients and took hours on the phone with us to ensure we were educated on the important parts of the Catholic mass, what our options were, and even coordinated with the church organist to take something off of our very long “to do” list. This is a rare find in today’s world, especially the wedding industry. I’m confident if you choose to speak with Michael you will be convinced that the Allegro Chamber Players are the right choice for your wedding or event.
