We hired Maura & Co to provide music at our traditional Catholic ceremony in Oct 2021 after she provided beautiful ceremony music for my sister's wedding the year prior. Maura is extremely professional and very knowledgeable on what type of music and instruments you may want. She listened to me explain what my personal style was and what I was hoping for, and then offered suggestions for song choices, instruments, and vocals.
She made the process quick and took some wedding planning stress off my shoulders! The musicians were incredible and I was nearly in tears at the beautifully sung Ave Maria during our ceremony- it was like I was in an absolute dream! Multiple guests made mention of the beautiful music following our ceremony. I highly recommend Maura and her team!

Maura and her team were amazing at my wedding! Maura was very quick in her correspondence and her team learned the different songs we requested for our ceremony. They continued to play during our cocktail hour and the music was absolutely beautiful. I only wish I wasn't so busy greeting people and taking pictures to have been able to listen and appreciate the music more!

Maura was so wonderful to work with. She walked us through everything and gave us many recommendations along the way. We ended up having a cello, piano, and violin trio which was incredible! They played for our ceremony and throughout cocktail hour and we received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you Maura for making our wedding so special!

Working with Maura was such an easy, fun, and enjoyable experience! She helped me create the perfect trio for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. My guests were in awe of the musicians and I got so much praise for how amazing they were! The bagpiper actually had my family in tears! He was definitely a show-stopper! I am so grateful that I worked with Maura and her team as they made my wedding day unforgettable. Thank you so so so much!
