Madeleine's Musicians - Solo and Ensemble Music for All Occasions
Overview
I’m Madeleine McEntire, pianist and founder of Madeleine’s Musicians. I’ve never loved the typical “About” section—degrees and credentials matter (and yes, I have them), but what matters most is delivering excellence. After years of teaching and performing, I wanted to create something intentional: a collective built on artistry, reliability, and care. When my dad passed away, it changed how I viewed my work—this business grew from that purpose, bringing music to life beautifully and seamlessly.

June 22, 2026Elevated our wedding experience!
Madeleine and her musicians helped make our daughter’s wedding day absolutely magical. The live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour were just beautiful and created such a lovely experience for us and all of our guests. From start to finish, Madeleine was quick to respond, helpful with suggestions and recommendations and kind and flexible when we were indecisive about what music to include in the ceremony. I would easily recommend Madeleine’s Musicians to anyone and look forward to having them at future family events.

Madeleine and her team are top notch! From the first phone call, I knew my wedding day was in good hands. Madeleine is an excellent communicator, superior in her craft, and highly organized. I’d recommend this team to anyone looking for musicians for a special event! You won’t regret It!

May 30, 2026Piano and Violin for our Wedding
From our first conversation, Madeleine's Musicians showed they truly cared about making our day special. Madeleine took the time to learn a specific song for my walk down the aisle and even nailed the exact part of the song I wanted to enter to, which meant the world to me. Her communication was prompt and responsive throughout the planning process, and she was so willing to work with us on customizing our music to fit our vision. The talent on display during our reception was incredible, and honestly, our guests couldn't stop raving about the piano and violin. We felt completely taken care of, and Madeleine's Musicians played a huge role in making our wedding day feel exactly how we dreamed it would. I'd recommend them to any couple looking for musicians that truly listen and deliver.

April 20, 2026Obsessed with them!
I can't say enough great things about Madeleine's Musicians and her team. It started with the quoting process. She spent time with me talking through my vision and dreams for my wedding, all their capabilities, and she was very transparent and upfront on pricing. Through the whole process, she was easy to work with and a very prompt communicator! Madeleine made my life so easy and took the stress off by taking a small Spotify playlist and using it as inspiration to curate the day's vibes. She even helped me with picking songs for special moments during the day.
The day of, Madeleine's musicians were timely, so kind, and so insanely talented! It was the talk of the wedding as we had them play through the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. It set the whole ambiance perfectly, and I would hire them again and again!
If you're even considering it, talk with Madeleine. I promise it's so worth it!

January 31, 2026Piano Trio for Smoky Mountain Ceremony
Madeleine and her crew did an amazing job performing at our ceremony. From the first interaction meeting Madeleine, I knew it was the perfect fit for our wedding. She was so responsive, respectful, a joy to work with, and made sure the songs, playlist, and overall flow were perfect for the vibe we were looking for. We went with the piano trio with violin and cello and it was stunning! They were so excited to play Jurassic Park and special film soundtracks that made our day so special. It was the perfect addition to our day and I’m so happy we partnered with Madeleine. I would recommend them to anyone looking to add live music to their event. Truly an incredible experience.
