Mnax Music Studio

Mnax Music Studio is a wedding musician service in Raleigh, North Carolina. Owner and operator John Philip Mullinax plays piano across traditional, classic and contemporary styles.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Mnax Music Studio is LGBTQ+-owned. John also offers guidance in designing a ceremony filled with love, life and music, which helps if you are not using a traditional wedding script and want to decide what happens, and when, for yourselves.

Music and planning

John provides a list of preferred songs for weddings and special occasions, and you can choose from it or submit your own request. He will arrange your chosen piece for the piano or the organ. The studio also provides music for the entrance of the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

• Piano for ceremony, in traditional, classic and contemporary styles
• Arrangements of your own song requests
• Organ where the venue has one
• Entrance music for attendants
• Help designing the ceremony

If you want two processions, a joint entrance or no processional at all, say so.

Practical questions

Confirm whether you need to provide an instrument or whether the venue has a piano, since a keyboard or a church organ changes the plan. Ask about setup time, sound check and any amplification.

Send your song list early so that arrangements are ready ahead of the rehearsal. Ask whether the studio can also play during the cocktail hour.

Based in Raleigh

The studio is in Raleigh, North Carolina. Contact John to confirm availability, venue travel and the length of music for your ceremony.
