  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.

  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!

  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!

  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).

  Maura was amazing! She helped us pick the perfect songs for each part of the ceremony and played until every guest had gone inside for cocktail hour! Very easy to work with and very talented! I would highly recommend her!

  Beautiful Music & Professional

She was responsive, friendly, and professional and we are extremely glad we went with her - she’s the best in the business!

  Simply beautiful!!

  Maura made our ceremony one to remember. The peaceful serenade of the violin was the final touch we needed to make our ceremony perfect. Absolutely beautiful performance.

  Maura was incredible! Not only is she very easy to work with but she is so talented. I live in NYC and was having a NC wedding. Maura face timed me so I could hear her music. On my wedding day, she played my favorite song, "All of Me" to walk down the aisle to and I will always remember that. Thank you Maura, we highly recommend!

  Maura is an amazing musician and a wonderful addition to our ceremony! When we met with her, she gave us several options of music, and was extremely flexible about choices. My now-husband commented, "Is there anything she plays that doesn't sound absolutely amazing?" We highly recommend her!

  Maura was awesome at our wedding ceremony!! She arrived before the guests and started playing as soon as they showed up. She met with me before the wedding so that I could listen to her play some songs and I was able to choose which songs I wanted played. She did a fantastic job and everyone loved her. I highly recommend her!!!

  Where to begin? From booking to the big day, working with Maura was absolutely wonderful. In planning our wedding, we had a lesser-known musical piece in mind for my walk down the aisle and were not sure if we would be able to find a vendor able (or willing) to play it. We met with Maura over Skype and not only was she enthusiastic about the prospect of playing the unfamiliar piece that was so special to us (along with every one of our other requests), she grabbed her violin and gave us a mini concert right there over our meeting. We worked out a tentative song list for the ceremony, then finalized it at a later date. Maura had no problem traveling to our venue (to Raleigh from the coast) and she was very responsive and easy to reach in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. On the big day, Maura was a consummate professional. She arrived early, warmed up while the chapel was being arranged, and played beautifully while guests arrived and were seated. Her performance throughout the ceremony was flawless, and when the time came for that requested song, she performed it perfectly. That moment will forever be dear to our hearts. Working with Maura was truly a pleasure and we would not hesitate to recommend her services!

  Maura is absolutely AMAZING! She is extremely talented, professional and sweet. Maura played for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour – we received so many compliments (and actually have a friend that booked her right after the wedding!). I met with Maura to pick out music and I could not believe how talented she was – she can play anything!! She walked me through the ceremony and played each piece so I could imagine how everything would go. Everything she played was just beautiful. I cannot say enough great things about Maura and I would recommend her to anyone!! Thanks again, Maura!!

  Maura was amazing! The list of songs she gave me was great to choose from, but she was also open to play absolutely whatever we wanted - and she can really play anything! She was very nice and easy to work with. She played before and during the ceremony, and my whole family said it was beautiful!!
