After doing quite a bit of research in to musicians for our wedding last fall we decided to hire…read moreRiverview. I emailed back and forth with the musical director a few times (Rebecca) and we settled on a string trio to perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I really had no idea what songs I wanted to have played, and Rebecca gave some great ideas and guidance along with samples to listen to (also on website). Rebecca made the whole process of song selection very easy. The day of the wedding the musicians were at the site early, and they looked professional and kept a low profile. Most importantly- the music was beautiful. We honestly couldn't have asked for more from the performers, and the price was reasonable for the service provided. Highly recommended!

We decided to have a string trio play at our ceremony, which was outside. They did a beautiful job playing before the ceremony as guest arrived, and for the wedding processional and recessional. Rebecca was so helping in assisting us pick out which pieces we wanted played when. I would highly recommend Riverview Chamber Players for any event!

The band had the best energy, song selection, and vocals...it was exactly what we were looking for. Everyone was dancing, from my 2 year-old nephew to my 75 year-old father-in-law. The only thing I regret is not having more time in the night to sing and dance with the band, they were so good. The entire Wilson Stevens team is so professional and wonderful to work with, I highly recommend them!

Day-of, the main singer took the time to introduce himself to us, which we really appreciated. They took our song preferences into consideration and kept the dance floor full all night! Everyone loved them so much that, at the end of the night, a "one more song" chant started and Clique obliged! Our guests kept telling us how great the band was and that it was like they were at a concert. Lastly, they were extremely accommodating when we had to postpone from 2021 to 2022. We are SO happy we had them join us for our special day!

When several years later it needed the neck cork replaced they did it in 20 minutes while I waited for a ridiculously low fee, no appointment required.

The musicians were professional, well dressed and curtious. I had already picked the music selections for the ceremony myself and some of them were not the usual repertoire of the wedding ceremony musicians, but it was not a problem for the Mozart Academy of Music - they found the music sheet and played it perfectly. The coordinator Kady was in touch with me over the emails and made sure they understood what I wanted exactly. If you want a big variety of instruments, flexibility of music choice and reliability, Mozart Academy of Music is the way to go.

And if they don't stock something you need, they'll order it for you or point you in the right direction. Alan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful if I have questions or need advice. When I came in last year wanting to restore my vintage kit, I had no idea where to start, and Alan helped me through the entire process, from cleaning, de-rusting, to finding missing parts. Whenever I have a problem with my kit or something breaks, I always go to Alan first (it's a good idea to call the store to see when he's working!) Often he'll find a way to fix it without having to purchase new parts. Definitely recommend this gem over bigger places like Guitar Center.
