Absolutely Recommend!

I am so thankful that Maura was a part of our special day, and I cannot recommend her to enough people. Having her play at our cocktail hour elevated the experience for our guests and so many people have reached out to say how great Maura was. She made everything leading up to our wedding and the day of so easy and effortless. I'm so glad she was recommended to us and having her play was a highlight of our wedding day.

Maura Kropke... Superstar

Maura was the perfect fit for our courtyard ceremony and cocktail hour. She plays beautifully. My mom teared up when she entered the courtyard and heard the music. And when a week before your wedding you ask her if she can possibly learn a couple out of the box pieces for the bridal processional and recessional and her reply is "No problem!" you know you chose the right person. Could not be more happy with how easy she was to work with and how it all turned out. Highly recommend, she was fantastic!

Amazing violinist

Our wedding was in July 2022. Maura delivered on everything we asked for and did a phenomenal job! She played the violin for just our ceremony, and it made everything so much more beautiful, elegant, and emotional. She let me pick all of the music, some of which was classical, and then also some non-classical songs, including Turning Page and A Thousand Years. She was very communicative and professional throughout the whole planning process and the day of the wedding.

There is nothing more important than hiring people who you can count on for your event. When i look down the aisle and Maura looks back at me ... it is that simple to get the wedding processional moving. Music changes and we are underway, always!

I chose Maura to play at my wedding in 2003. She was amazing! She is not only an excellent violinist ,she had a calming effect on my wedding day. Prior to the wedding I was able to meet with her for a trial where she answered all of my questions and played exactly what I requested for my wedding day. Maura is professional and prompt. I recommend her to all brides who want a unique and beautiful wedding experience. Her expertise with the violin was very moving and touched many of the guests at my wedding! Thank you Maura!
