Miss Musique won The Knot Best of Weddings 2012!!

We are proud to announce that Miss Musique is a winner in The Knot Best of Weddings 2012!!  The Knot Best of Weddings 2012 provides a “by brides, for brides” guide to the top wedding professionals across the country, and is a must-have when it comes to selecting the best-of-the-best wedding resources. From New York florists and Seattle bridal salons to DC makeup artists, engaged couples will find detailed feedback on local wedding businesses reviewed by thousands of newlyweds who had great things to say.
It is a very prestigious award, and we are so excited to be a part of the elite wedding professionals from around the country.

As this award is based upon client reviews submitted to The Knot, we received this award largely because of all the nice things former clients have said about us.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to write such nice reviews!  Also, this award definitely wouldn't be possible without the talent and professionalism of the musicians.  They are the real recipients of the award, and deserve most of the credit!  Without the wonderful musicians, there would be no Miss Musique; so thank you to all the musicians--this award is for you!!!

More Pittsburgh Weddings!

This post is a little overdue, but I'd like to write about a fantastic wedding I played for my friends Kelly Burk and Andrew Rowland, who got married on 10/15/2011.  The ceremony was at the lovely Park Presbyterian Church in Beaver, PA.  We had a string quartet serenade Kelly and her dad with Cannon in D as they walked down the isle, and Vivaldi's beautiful 'Largo' from The Four Seasons was played as Kelly and Andy lit their unity candle.  The recessional music was Handel's 'Hornpipe' from The Water Music Suite. Thanks for playing, Melissa, Matt and Mike! 

The ceremony was perfect, and it is obvious that there is so much love between Kelly and Andy.  As always, crying and trying to play was a challenge, but totally worth it ;) Thanks for the honor of having Miss Musique perform at your wedding, Kelly and Andy! 

3 For 3!

This past weekend was our biggest success story so far.  We had THREE events on Saturday!! One of our events was at the GORGEOUS Oakmont Country Club, for the wedding of Cara Spisak and Dan Smiczek.  Our violin and cello duet played a breathtaking ceremony, with "Clair de Lune" as the bride's processional.  It was perfect!  Thanks, Becky and Paula for being fantastic!!


Another fabulous event was a wedding ceremony in beautiful Raccoon Township. We had a string trio performing, and Juan, JJ and Mike were flawless. The groom, Buddy Smeltz, very creatively requested "Yellow" by Coldplay for the recessional, and it was a GREAT idea!  It sounded beautiful and everyone loved it!  Congrats Buddy!


Looking forward to the event next weekend!!  More details to come; stay tuned!

Expansion to Philadelphia!

I'm proud to announce the official expansion of Miss Musique to the Philadelphia area!  Most of the expansion work had to be done in the Miss Musique website.  This meant redoing the SEO so that the website could be recognized in Philly, and adding a bunch of keywords specific to the Philadelphia market.  We also added two pages of SPAM to the website!  I was stunned to learn that this was something the site needed, but apparently it's not for anybody to read, just for the search engines to pick up. So if you see two pages of what looks to be junk information, (hopefully only the spam pages will look like this!) just ignore it and proceed onto the good stuff!

Now that we're located in Philly, I'm looking for more musicians to add to my roster.  Philadelphia is a BIG market that will offer lots of performance opportunities, so if anybody knows a musician who is interested, please send them this way!  Miss Musique will also be embarking on new advertising campaigns for the Eastern side of the state; check back soon for updates!
