About Us

Before streaming, CDs, tapes, or albums, a common way to enjoy music was to make it in the home (i.e. the parlor), resulting in a festive live performance. This authenticity was the inspiration for Parlor Lights, to personalize, enrich, and make more memorable the experience for you and your guests.

Parlor Lights consists of a variety of musicians and instrument combinations to deliver a trio for your event, including violin, cello, trumpet, clarinet, and piano.

Personalized Wedding Prelude - Monica

Tom Palof arranged/composed some music for my wedding prelude. Using what he knew of us as a couple, he put together not just music that enhanced the day, but added to the personal connection we felt for each other. I received vast compliments on the music, and it helped my husband and I emotionally prepare for the ceremony.

I have a recording of the music and often listen to it. It feels so special and intimate to us that day. It was a gift I will cherish forever. Tom’s experience and adaptability make him the perfect performer. Not only does he play with excellence but with passion. Cannot recommend enough!
