    Music lovers pay attention!!

    I wish I could give this team a MILLION stars! My husband and I hired them for our ceremony and cocktail hour music and they are PHENOMENAL. I chatted with Megan ahead of time on what songs we wanted to play, and as me and my husband are both varietal music lovers who love all kinds of music, we loved that they had pre-made playlists of not only the classics, but pop, rock and even 90s grunge! Cannot say enough great things about them!

    Carolina Music Planner's reply:

    Oh my goodness, this is the sweetest. Thank you so much for being such a blast to work with. We love when our clients really put thought and care into the musical selections (and your set was fun to perform!). We wish you both a world of happiness and hope our paths cross again soon. XO

    Also, I love these photos!!

    Elevated Everything!

    We were blown away by the quality and performance Carolina Music Planner provided for our wedding. We loved getting to choose the perfect songs for our ceremony and they truly elevated everything to the next level. Highly recommend!

    Carolina Music Planner's reply:

    I'm so happy to hear! I heard a few video clips, and everything looked magical.
    I love seeing all of the pics! Any good images you get of the harp trio, please feel free to send them my way.
    Huge congratulations to you both, again. Thank you for trusting us with this piece of your special day!

    A magical ensemble

    The Carolina Music Planner ensemble was a true highlight of our ceremony. From the moment they began playing, their talent and professionalism were evident. The musicians displayed exceptional skill and precision, creating a beautiful and harmonious atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the entire event. The selection of music was diverse, ranging from classical pieces to modern hits, ensuring that there was something for everyone to enjoy. The ensemble's ability to adapt and seamlessly transition between songs was impressive, keeping the energy and flow of the celebration at its peak. Not only did they provide a wonderful backdrop for the wedding. The ensemble truly elevated the overall experience, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended. They were truly a spectacular touch for our ceremony.

    Professional and lovely

    The orchestra did a great job playing the ceremony and then running over to do the cocktail hour immediately after. Great variety of music, and they made all the disney melodies very apparent even with just a violin and cello!

    Great to work with & Wonderful Music

    Our wedding planner recommended Carolina Music Planners to play the instrumentals for our wedding ceremony. They were great to work with and played beautifully at the ceremony! We had a "get to know each other" meeting early on and they were super accommodating and happy to help us work out what would fit our ceremony best. They have a huge variety of instrumentals that they can perform which made even picking our music fun. Once we picked our songs out, they even found a special version of a song for my wife to walk down the aisle to. After we had our songs picked, they helped us cut our music down so that it would fit the amount of time that we had and the music they played during our ceremony was perfect. You could tell what each song was and the instrumentals sounded beautiful!!

    We loved using Carolina music planner- they made all of the coordination very easy and gave great advice in picking ceremony songs. We would highly recommend them- we loved that we had them as part of our wedding day!!

    Wonderful!

    We booked CMP early on in the wedding planning process and enjoyed working with them! They did a custom arrangement for our ceremony, which turned out so beautifully. We loved the mix of setlist options they had available for ceremony and cocktail hour — from rock and roll to pop to Disney, and everything in between! Very professional company with excellent service. We would highly recommend.
    Amanda & Brandon

    Carolina Music Planner's reply:

    Amanda, thank you so much for this kind review. You guys were a blast to work with and I truly wish you a lifetime of happiness. I love the way the custom arrangement turned out, too! (One of my new/previously unknown favorites)
    Congratulations again!

    Amazing Wedding Musicians!

    We had a fantastic experience with Carolina Music Planner for our Asheville wedding! We were in a pinch last minute to find musicians after an original plan fell through, and Megan helped put our minds at ease and put together the most amazing duo ever for our special day. We had a cello & violin duo and they were perfect. We loved getting to personalize our music selections with the options on the website and have them play both the ceremony and cocktail hour at The Farm a Gathering Place. I strongly recommend working with Carolina Music Planner if you want high quality and low stress for your wedding music needs!

    You NEED Carolina music planner at your wedding!!!

    I’m SO glad I had Carolina music planner at my ceremony. They created the most beautiful ambiance & everyone told me after the wedding how great they were. I walked down the aisle to Love Story by Taylor Swift and it could not have been more perfect. I was nervous at first that it would be too upbeat but they worked their magic and it sounded so good!! We also had a bit of a rain scare but they were flexible with us and performed after the rain went away. If you’re on the fence about having live music for your ceremony I say it’s absolutely worth it.

    Carolina Music Planner's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kaylee!! It was a pleasure working with you. Your kind words mean the world. Love Story is one of my personal favorites. Our string arrangements were familiar to me before I was a big T Swift fan and that has changed (I love her now!).
    Congrats to you both! Wishing you the very best.

    Love Music? Hire Carolina Music Planner

    I'm the girl who didn't dream about her wedding dress growing up but DID dream about her ceremony music. I always had a vision of what I wanted, including specific songs and vocals, and fulfilling that was high on my priority list. Megan with Carolina Music Planner, and Hannah Kaminer, our incredible performer, absolutely blew me out of the water. Hannah put together a great pre- and post- set, and absolutely blew us away with each of our specific song requests for the ceremony. My husband even cried (he never cries). Megan was super easy to work with and patient despite our multiple reschedules (covid), and I never worried that any details were missed. They are incredible professionals and incredible artists!

    Great Music, Great Musicians

    Loved how easy it was to work with this vendor. Very creative playlists and although we did not get to preview our specific musicians we trusted that they would be professional and they absolutely were. This company took all of the stress out of finding/hiring quality musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

    Execeptional

    Carolina Music Planner was recommended as one of the vendors for the ceremony music for my wedding from my planner. Our wedding was on the front lawn at the Biltmore Estate, so we chose a 9 piece ensemble. Carolina Music Planner had an extensive amount of songs to choose from, which can make the decisions of what to play somewhat hard for me. After a phone call with Megan, I created my own list of songs I liked and she pieced together what would flow best while adding some additional options for flow. It was absolutely amazing and the range of music the musicians can play is very very impressive. All the guests were commenting how great they were! We played anything from Metallica, oldies, and pop!

    Perfection

    Carolina Music Planner absolutely killed it for us. Planning, payments, communication- everything was just so easy. We have received so many compliments on how absolutely incredible the ceremony and cocktail hour music were and I honestly could not imagine that day without the gorgeous music that we had. We did a cello/violin combo and they were perfection on the songs we chose. Hearing my friends giggle from the other room when Zombie by The Cranberries came on while my dad and I were getting lined up was the best- I knew everyone was enjoying it. Dad and I walked out to Bittersweet Symphony and it was absolutely stunning, and my husband and I walked out to Kiss from a Rose. During the cocktail reception, I kept hearing people go "Wait is this Metallica?!" and so on was the very best. The playlist was just so great and it truly made the more formal parts of the day better than I could have imagined.

    Amazing Musicians!

    We loved having Carolina Music Planner as a part of our wedding! We chose to have a violin and cello play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. The music sounded amazing and there were tons of songs for us to chose from! Additionally, the pre-established setlists were very well-crafted! We highly recommend Carolina Music Planner!

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

    Megan and her team provided music for our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony. They took the time to gather information on the style of music and individual songs we wanted, as well as offering suggestions when we weren't quite sure. The musicians have a wide range of music in their gallery, ranging from the most classic wedding songs to today's rock and roll and everything in between. This group was very professional and I would not hesitate to use them again. They were a major part of making my daughter's wedding a huge success.

    Best Part of the Wedding! Not kidding!!

    Words cannot describe how happy we are that we hired Carolina Music Planner to be apart of our special day!! Everyone was blown away with Megan and Michelle's talent and how much it added to the ceremony, cocktail hour and our dinner. The entire hiring and planning process was so easy! They worked with us on the playlist, and we were able to make some very special requests. Most of our songs were not conventional, and Megan and Michele made them sounded so elegant. At one point during dinner, I noticed they were playing one of my all time favorite songs and it made my tear up! I had to run up and give them a hug afterwards. All of our guests loved them, and they really went above and beyond for us! By the end of the night, we had made two new best friends!!
    We could not recommend them enough!
    Thank you Megan and Michelle!!! We will forever cherish the songs and memories you created!

    Absolutely perfect in every sense. Megan was SO helpful and nice during the planning process, and Patrick and Chelsea were phenomenal. As I was taking pictures during cocktail hour, I didn’t get to hear them perform but I heard raving reviews from my guests.

    Wedding and Reception Music

    Carolina Music Planner was a Godsend! My husband and I planned our wedding remotely and did not have any music connections in the Greenville area. I was referred to Megan by a vendor I found online that was already booked. I was immediately impressed by how organized and easy the process was. Since CMP was performing for both the wedding and the reception, I went through the online playlists thoroughly and sent in my selections. Megan was delightfully responsive with suggestions to make the music fit the occasion perfectly. The weather the day of the event was clear but cold. The musicians were very flexible and adapted to the weather and the venue. The music turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Many guests commented on enjoying the variety of the music played. The whole process was easy and the results perfect.

    excellent band

    Our wedding band was AMAZING!!!! Under the Sun - with Carolina Music Planning. They totally brought down the house, learned crazy custom songs for us, and did fantastic renditions. Such talent and personal touch. We would recommend them to everyone - so versatile and worth every penny!

    Carolina Music Planner's reply:

    Hi Cat! We unfortunately didn't book "Under the Sun", but we did handle your ceremony + cocktail hour musicians. I'm so glad to hear that your reception musicians were incredible, and hope that you felt the same re: the ceremony music. XO

    Huge congrats to you!!

    Talented and Versatile

    Planning with Carolina Music Planner was a breeze. Megan was prompt with providing details and answers to my questions. We loved they variety of music that they provided. We love many traditional songs, but also were able to include more modern pieces. Our only disappointment is that we (the bride and groom) did not get to listen to them more because we were taking photos! We were super pleased with their performance and professionalism, and it added a special touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you!
