Beautiful music for our big day!

Maureen Murchie is a dear friend and colleague of mine. She plays beautifully! We hired her to play music for our wedding ceremony and she picked all the selections and performed them beautifully. I know lots of violinists, but Maureen Murchie is my favorite player. If you want beautiful string music for your wedding--you've come to the right place. FIVE STARS!

Amazing all around!!

Murchie Music Services played for my sister's wedding, and as one who was also heavily involved in the planning, I can honestly say that they blew me away with their professionalism and skill. Punctuality was never an issue, nor was preparation or musical skill. With their wide breadth of experience with classical, pop, and so many other genres of music, we were able to put together a beautiful and tasteful wedding service, as well as a reception that featured many songs from the bride and groom's childhoods, making it particularly personal and memorable. On a day when every detail and timing matters, and when the stress to get it right is so high, it was truly a relief to know that the musicians were not something we needed to worry about in the least. In fact, they knew exactly how to anticipate transitions quietly and unobtrusively, which helped us avoid some awkward silent moments while waiting for the bride and groom to arrive to the reception, for example. I'm so glad we went with Murchie Music Services and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding, a funeral, or anything in between!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
