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!

Wonderful musician!

We had Maura play out our wedding and she was phenomenal! She played as I walked down the aisle and our cocktail hour. I had dreamed about a violinist playing as I walked down the aisle since I was a little girl and Maura lived up to that dream!

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.

An Absolute Professional

I knew I was going to book Maura as soon as I viewed her profile. I held off probably until the last minute, but she showed up for us and is an absolute professional. I think she could probably play weddings in her sleep because she arrived on time, dressed appropriately, played beautifully and remembered to play what we discussed even though the order of events didn’t go exactly as planned on the day of. When other vendors let me down, Maura Kropke was a vendor I could trust, and I recommend her to anyone seeking gorgeous music for their big day! Whatever you pay, she’s worth it!

Great Violinist

Our wedding was very last minute but Maura had no problem stepping up to play our ceremony. I didn't get our song choices to her until days before the wedding but it was no problem for her. She was very responsive, easy to work with, and a great value.

Beautiful music

Maura is very responsive and talented and I’d recommend her for anyone looking to have live music for their wedding ceremony. From the beginning, Maura made it easy to plan her part, which we booked for the guest arrival and wedding ceremony. She has a helpful website and great recommendations. She also played every one of our requested songs that were all of the contemporary variety. And she played beautifully! My only regret is that as the bride, I didn’t hear more of it (we had to wait inside as guests arrived).

Beautiful Music & Professional

Maura is an extremely talented violinist and we could not be happier with having her as our wedding ceremony music! She did a beautiful job with everything she played and set the tone for our special day, giving us exactly what we wanted. Maura was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was responsive, friendly, and professional and we are extremely glad we went with her - she’s the best in the business! If you are looking for an incredible violinist for your wedding day, look no further. We hope we can hire her again someday in the future!

Talented Violinist

We had Maura play during our ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on June 1st. She did a beautiful job and added that special touch we were looking for our day. Our guests loved the music and ambiance she set. We would highly recommend having Maura play at your event.

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!
