Student, to Team Member, to Bride

In 2011, Madilyn began violin lessons in my studio. It has been amazing to see the talented violinist she has become.

In 2013, my sister Megan moved away from North Carolina, and I needed someone to fill her shoes. Madilyn stepped up to the plate and became the other half of Deans Duets' for weddings! At that time, we were only performing one wedding per day - and only offering violin duets in North Carolina.  Each weekend was filled with weddings at North Carolina mountain venues, or other local venues in Hickory and Charlotte. Madilyn learned quickly, and we rehearsed a lot.  She has been a loyal team member and has gone above and beyond to learn the ropes of becoming a great wedding musician! 


In the fall of 2015, Madilyn went to college in Pensacola, Florida. After so many weddings with me, she was prepared to lead weddings on her own.  She began performing violin solos and string quartets for weddings in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. She was able to perform for weddings on Saturdays while in college.

In 2020, Madilyn had Deans Duets' string quartet in North Carolina perform at her wedding! Our string quartet in Hickory absolutely loved being a part of it.  She had her wedding ceremony in her home church where her grandfather had been the pastor. This church held such an inspiring sentimental ceremony and it was decorated beautifully!

"Be Thou My Vision" was played by our string quartet in North Carolina while the mothers were being seated and it set a peaceful presence in the building as the ceremony was preparing to begin.

For Madilyn's anticipated bridal entrance, the musicians played a tremolo chord to build suspense to "La Vie En Rose". The string quartet in Hickory did a fantastic job perfecting every detail she wanted for her big day!
For "This Will Be an Everlasting Love" I switched from violin to piano to give it a more energetic rhythm when Caleb and Madilyn began the recessional!

Madilyn said, "I chose Deans Duets to play for my wedding day because I knew they would play exactly what I wanted exactly how I wanted it. Being a professional violinist myself, and having worked with the company for years, I knew there was no other group I could trust more. Not only do they communicate with you on a personal level, they also make sure each selection is done with smoothness and precision. I was so glad I hired Deans Duets for my wedding! It made the day that much more special and brought so much beauty and class to the ceremony!"
It has been amazing to see the wonderful woman Madilyn has become! It was an honor to play for her wedding!
