    Wedding Ceremony

    Having a violin a harp at the ceremony was the perfect touch and a dream come true. Karen was the best to work with. Thank you for everything.

    Amazing musicians!!

    Karen and her team were incredible!!! We had them play at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and they sounded absolutely amazing. Karen was so accommodating (I struggled to pick some songs), and she helped me figure out what to play and offered some suggestions. I debated on even having live music, and I am just so glad that I did. It made our ceremony and cocktail hour so much more romantic, intimate, and upscale. I would recommend Karen and her team to everyone, and if you’re not sure whether or not you want live music for your ceremony, GO FOR IT, and hire Music for the Moment! They are so amazing.

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Chelsea,
    Thank you so much for the amazing review!
    You and Patrick looked so excited to be getting married! It was a pleasure playing for your wedding and hearing about your love story.
    We wish you a long and wonderful life together!

    Amazing musicians

    We hired Karen and her team for our wedding in Liberty House, NJ. From the onset, she was patient and flexible to hear our preferences. On the day of, she performed exactly as expected playing the songs for our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour. Everyone commented how nice of a touch it was to have her team and we're so glad that we chose her. Would highly recommend!

    Kevin and Christy,
    It was a pleasure working with you both to make your wedding music special for you! Planning a wedding when you live far away can be a challenge but you made it look easy! Best wishes to you both!

    Amazing String Trio

    We went with the string trio with Music for the Moment for our wedding ceremony as well as our cocktail hour, and they did a fantastic job! They were so easy to work with and had a great library of songs to choose from and were even willing to learn new songs for us, which they did and performed them perfectly. Karen was our main contact, and she was so nice and a joy to work with and drew rave reviews from all of our guests. We would definitely recommend Music for the Moment for other couples!

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Thank you so much for this lovely review!
    It was our pleasure to play for you and Billy at the Manor. As your pastor said, " You were made for each other!" The love and joy of your family and friends will always be with you as you embark on this new phase of your life . We wish you every happiness in your married life together!

    Breathtaking!

    Breathtaking! We had the honor of having Music for the Moment perform at our wedding ceremony. I believe their music made a world of difference. The string quartet was so sophisticated and skilled. Not only in music, but also in aiding the movement of our wedding procession. Their timing was on point! Karen was wonderful to work with. Correspondences with her were always professional and pleasant. I requested somewhat obscure songs from Japanese animation movies, from Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle, and how magically transported they made me feel! They played Concerning Hobbits so joyously as my parents and I walked down the aisle; it truly added a little pep in my step. I reveled in them playing Gershwin’s Summertime and ever so romantic songs from West Side Story. I am so grateful for all the hard work they put into preparation for the event and I highly recommend them!

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Jessica,
    Wow! Thank you so much for this amazing review! We enjoyed your music selections, they were so well chosen for your special day! Thank you for having us play. Best wishes to you as you begin your married life together!

    Awesome musicans & very flexible!

    I reached out to them via wedding wire and they responded promptly to my messages. We spoke the rest over GMail and on the phone and Karen was very responsive. They are very friendly, reasonably priced, and played well at the wedding! We had a list of songs that we wanted specifically, from both movies and Anime, and they were very well knowledgeable for songs they were already familiar with and ones they hand not heard before. Love this vendor and definitely recommend!

    Erika,
    Thank you for the review! We enjoy learning new music for our couples. It's part of the joy of making music! I appreciate the details you put in the review!

    An Excellent Choice!

    We had Music for the Moment do the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, and they were great! They also accommodated us and played an untraditional recessional for the ceremony. Ms. Kamp was great to plan and work with. Super responsive and kind.

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Gabriela,
    Thank you for the review! My team was very pleased to play for you.
    We wish you and Albert a long and happy marriage!

    Amazing music!

    Karen was the best! She was so easy to work with and very responsive. She helped me with the processional music process. She was also able to get the music for one of my songs! She sounded amazing!

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Thank you, Alexandra! Finding special songs is one of my favorite things about this job. I find new music that I love and can offer to other couples.
    Best wishes to you as newlyweds!

    What can I say about Karen!!!!! She was so amazing and professional! I was the last minute bride for everything and I booked them 2 weeks before the wedding. She was so polite and understanding with everything! I love the music they played. If you are thinking about booking them, please do it now! You will not regret it!

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Thank you for great review, Nicolle!
    Even though you were as you said, a lady minute bride, you got it done. Your ceremony was lovely and you pastor was very kind, calming and helpful. We wish you and your new husband a life of happiness and joy together!

    AMAZING! The best vendor ever!

    Karen was the absolute best and the perfect vendor needed to make my husband’s and I wedding day even more special. Karen ensured me that everything was going to be fine, and did so through being detailed, well knowledgeable, and super helpful as the great violinist and business woman she is. We spoke for a while on the songs my husband and I wanted and I truly appreciated her input as well. She kept her promise in making sure everything was seamless and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We truly do appreciate Karen’s quick response to our inquiry, her kind demeanor, and her approachable and helpful personality. It made me feel so relieved as a bride during such a stressful time. Karen, you are awesome. Please, do yourself a favor and hire Music for the Moment for your wedding or event! ❤️

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Oh My Gosh! Thank you Tyra for this amazing review!
    It was a joy to play for you and your new husband Carlos!
    Your love shone through in all the preparations and the way your pastor spoke of both of you to me beforehand and during the ceremony. I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Meadow Wood Wedding

    Karen and Music For The Moment, we’re extraordinarily professional and extremely talented. We truly appreciated the flexibility with moving their orchestra outdoors, despite the threat of rain and potential damage to their equipment (thankfully the weather held out). They were very amenable to our needs, thorough with preparation and courteous throughout. I would solidly recommend them!

    Such a nice tough

    I worked with Karen as a violinist for our ceremony and cocktail hour. She was incredibly nice, responsive, going above and beyond to get us an obscure song we requested. She had a large catalog of songs to offer if you aren't sure. The music was so delightful in person and well worth the experience. It really made our event extra special.

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Thank you for the lovely review! It was a joy to play for your wedding and cocktail hour! I was so pleased that you danced while I played your special request. So happy to be a small part of your romantic moment! Congratulations on your marriage! I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

    Single Violinist for small reception

    Karen was so wonderful to work worth! She was able to play all the songs of my choosing and it was absolutely beautiful. She was very responsive and communicated with me for weeks leading up to the ceremony so I was 100% comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.

    Sweet Violinist

    Karen Kamp is a brilliant violinist. She has shared with me once on the phone about the history of how she became the owner of Music For The Moment and it is truly admirable. She sent my husband and I a list of songs to choose from and I felt that she was very organized. She is willing to work with you when it comes to prices — she was even willing to play for our traditional church wedding last minute although she was hired for the cocktail hour. She is such a sweetheart on the phone, via email and last but not least in person. She provided me constantly with words of encouragement and when hiring a musician for your wedding she is the kind of violinist you need. I just wish I could’ve hired a couple of violinists to play alongside her with her as the lead of course ;) 

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Thank you for the lovely review, Glenna! I was so happy to meet you in person right before your reception. It was so sweet of you to take the time in the middle of your wedding! My best wishes to you and your husband on a happy marriage!

    Wonderful to work with!

    Karen from the Music for the Moment team was wonderful to work with, very knowledgable, skilled, and flexible. We had two other musicians playing for our ceremony who had no relation to one another, and Karen was able to tie the pieces together flawlessly. She was readily available and responsive, and played beautifully during our wedding ceremony. I'm so grateful we had her!

    Music for the Moment's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! One of the best parts of being a musician is meeting other musicians, we understand each other even if we have never met before. It was a pleasure playing with them for your beautiful ceremony!

    Music for the Moment - Wedding Renewal Music - April, 2022

    Hi Just a few words about Music for the Moment.
    We had a string trio for my daughters wedding and a piano player for the cocktail hour.
    We loved it and all the guests enjoyed every minute of it.
    Music for the Moment was on time, very professional and super easy to work with. They have a very extensive list of songs to pick from. Whatever type of music you like they have. They are very knowledgeable and talented and would be great for any occasion you are planning.
    Thank You….Music for the Moment….. for a Wonderful Day!

    Simply fantastic!

    Deena and her team were such a pleasure to work with! They offered an extensive set list and were able to help us narrow down the songs that were appropriate for our special event. Deena and her team were very professional and did a fantastic job, in fact, exceeded expectations, which was validated by multiple guests approaching us raving about how good Deena and her team were. Bravo!
