Incredible!

Music for the Moment was amazing to work with. Karen and the cellist did a lovely job at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. So professional and sounded incredible. I received many compliments from my guests on their skills and beautiful music. The day wouldn't have been a success without their help!

Lovely music

In my search for the perfect musicians for our wedding, I found Karen Kamp/Music for the Moment who was by far the most responsive and had the widest selection of songs on her website. Karen and her team played during the ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was played so beautifully throughout the wedding and our guests really enjoyed it. The string trio added a dreamy ambiance to our wedding day. Thank you!

Live violinist and cello during wedding ceremony

Karen was absolutely amazing to work with! She had a large selection of music to choose from, but also was willing to learn and play different music not on her list. We had a couple of phone calls beforehand to go over my vision for the day, and she was incredibly patient and professional. Overall the music on the day of was absolutely beautiful and walking down the aisle to her rendition of “Turning Page”, which is one of my favorite love songs, was just as magical as I had imagined. I would definitely recommend her and her team for any event.
