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.

September 11, 2026Brilliant in every way!
We worked with Madeleine to provide a custom trio for a Celebration of Life and had a 5 star experience from start to finish! Madeline is extremely responsive, cared about all the planning and musical details that we did, offered suggestions of pieces we hadn't thought of and 100% reliable at every phase. She went above and beyond to search for renditions of music that could incorporate a piano, cello and violin and sent us versions to listen to so we could make the final decision. She and her fellow musicians practiced diligently to be ready for our event---learning several new pieces-- and their music was absolutely as gorgeous as some of the original orchestrations. They are all so talented, polished, friendly and professional! Madeleine frequently communicated, was empathetic about our friend who'd passed and committed to making the music a very special part of the event. She also shares her music knowledge of things I asked about and was happy to educate me, which was generous and exciting. She loves what she does, does it with aplomb and plays piano absolutely brilliantly. I highly recommend her for an event as someone who you can rely on and does it with flying colors! Thank you Madeleine!!

September 1, 2026Amazing wedding ensemble!
Madeleine was an absolute pleasure to work with! I spoke with several different small ensembles before landing on Madeleins Musicians and i can confidently say that Madeleine is extremely professional to work with. She was able to accommodate many custom arrangements for our wedding which all turned out beyond amazing!
We hired her for a trip, Piano, Violin and Cello. All of the performers were phenomenal on the big day! As a musician myself, i know what we asked of them was a lot in terms of new pieces to learn (We are nerds and had a very non traditional wedding), and they even played some arrangements that I wrote!
You will absolutely not be disappointed if you decide to go with Madeleine!

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.

June 14, 2026Amazing Wedding Addition
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.
