Read what some of our clients have to say about their experience with us!

“Thanks for filling the house with music!� May 18, 2008
Bill and Linda McCartney, CEO of Indium Corporation

"We were in a major pinch when I contacted the Academy. The musician we had hired through the church had cancelled just weeks before the wedding! The Academy was more than accomodating to our needs. We were given an immediate appointment where suggestions and design of appropriate song selections were provided. It was also very helpful that the organization took care of contacting the priest to coordinate placement of music. Finally, we received many compliments throughout the day about how beautiful the ceremony was and how lovely the music was. Thank you so much for everything!" May 2008, St. Anthony's Church, Inlet, NY
Mary Lynn & Jonathan Donohoe, Inlet, NY

"From start to finish, the Academy's professionalism and talent far exceeded our expectations. We would hire them again. Thank you so much." August 10, 2007, Munson- Williams Proctor Institute; Fountain Elms
Congressman Michael Arcuri & Sabrina Deon Arcuri , Utica, NY

"Your knowledge on how the violin and viola complimented each other was right on target! Their sound was exactly what I dreamt of. We appreciated all the insightfulness and thought you put in to planning the music for the ceremony and you being there to ensure that timing and design was carried through. The music and inspiration it provided added so much to our ceremony and reception." August 4, 2007 Vernon, NY
Neil Robinson & Jennifer Sanborn-Robinson


"Working with the Academy was a pleasure. We trusted them with all of our very difficult pieces of music. The Academy went beyond our expectation, both with writing the songs and also performing the music on our wedding day." June 22, 2007, Turning Stone
Nicole Tomaselli/Johan Norbrandt, Blackwood, NJ
