Michele was by far one of the most attentive vendors we got to work with for our wedding. Our ceremony was at the chapel in the historic Allaire Village and Michele was an expert ...
in all of the finishing details of our ceremony that added to the perfection of our day. We had a few phone conversations and detailed emails leading up to the big day and Michele even went out of her "norm" and practiced and performed one of our favorite country songs while I walked down the aisle. Bridal Music added such a classic and romantic touch to our ceremony, led by an owner with the sweetest heart.
They are the best!!! We had our wedding in September 2023 and we were blown away how great they are. We highly recommend them. The wedding service was so much better because of ...
the beautiful music they made.

I was married in the chapel at Allaire last July, and Michele provided music (flute and violin) for our ceremony. It was magical and beautiful! Michele was easy to work with, had s...
o many helpful suggestions, and added many nice touches throughout the ceremony. I highly recommend her if you want to add a special whimsical touch to your special day! Thanks Michele!
We are so glad we chose Michelle and Bridal Music for our ceremony! We knew we wanted something different from the ordinary wedding music. We asked if she could do a duet of Elton ...
John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" while guests were entering the Chapel. Michelle told us that they would start working on it right away and boy did they deliver! Wow, wow, wow! Guest were ranting about their beautiful music all throughout Cocktail Hour. Their presentation well exceeded our expections. What the guests did not see was behind-the-scene... Michelle's dedication to reaching out to Father Michael to make sure they were on the same page as well as letting us know her every move. We were given exactly what we were promised which made our day that much more special! So many thanks to Michelle and Alinah for the beautiful music!! We will never forget that day and would recommend Bridal Music to anyone looking for beautiful music and excellent customer service.

o her beautiful music felt truly magical. All the little bits played throughout our ceremony were truly special. We spoke on the phone about what I was looking for and she emailed me samples of what I might like which really helped come to final decisions. They even came outside after the ceremony to continue playing for us and our guests as we walked out to our flower toss. I will always remember this day as one of the best days of my life. It really was so beautiful! Thank you so very much!!! Highly recommend!!!

t we didn’t want anything over the top and that we just wanted something simple, sweet and quaint. She helped with the beautiful Autumn decor ideas. She had a lot of suggestions and ideas that helped us, but she was never pushy. Just like Reverend Anthony, she always said “it’s your day, I’m just here to suggest and give ideas”.
They played such lovely music. They played “Moon River” and “Dancin in the Moonlight”.
You purchase a contract through Allaire and it comes with Bridal Music and Reverend Anthony. I definitely recommend that route. Both were fantastic!! Thank you for making our wedding day so lovely!!

I can promise you that you choosing Michelle to perform at your event is the best decision you can make. Our entire family was so touched by her talent and effort to make our service perfect.
Michelle, was an absolute gem to work with. From the first day she took us under her wings and made it magical. Not only did she bring elegance to our beach wedding she supplied ...
us with so many whimsical ideas. Coming up with and intimated shell toss with the wedding party, throwing shells into the waves with our names and date in then for added luck. Thant we did find on the beach a few weeks later. To helping us stage the alter on the beach with he beautiful props. She made it extremely a unique and stunning and made all our worries melt away. Without her we wouldn't have had so many special memories to cherish forever. She definitely is a blessing in disguise. for not only did she play magnificently she took candid shots of our ceremony that we will cherish always. And we would highly recommend her especially if your looking for your special day to be one to be magical and memorable. For we are very grateful that we had her to help us create the dream wedding we always wanted.
My daughter planned a beach wedding, for family, on a Monday evening, the first day of Summer. She wanted just a small music venue, as she was having her vow renewal and reception...
in October of the same year. We interviewed many vendors. Bridal Music was a perfect fit. Upon conferring with my daughter, and Bridal Music, both classical and modern music were chosen. The ocean breeze did not hamper the quality of the music, and the songs chosen for pre-ceremony, pauses in the ceremony and after, were absolutely beautiful and so personal to the couple . Our guests were mesmerized by the talent shown by Bridal Music, and to this day, when we are together, they continue to talk about how lovely the ceremony was. To say that we were happy with the music for her wedding would be an understatement. 10 stars to this vendor! (continued in October) For their Vow Renewal and Wedding Reception in October, we were once again able to procure the services of Bridal Music. It was a small (65 Persons) reception, but, again, the time taken to insure it was exactly what was wanted, and the quality and quantity of the music, lived up to the standard Bridal Music had set for the first Wedding Day. Should you choose Bridal Music for your Wedding Ceremony, you will NOT be disappointed. They are the BEST!!!
Michele was absolutely amazing!
Throughout the whole process she was constantly in communication and very reassuring of how well things would turn out. Her years of experience made...
me so confident in her help with music selection for my ceremony! The overall emotional experience walking through the chapel was everything I imagined it would be!
Thank you sooo much!
Michele was absolutely fantastic from the start!! I originally inquired about ceremony music for our 2020 wedding, but it was eventually postponed to 2021 due to Covid. Throughout ...
all of the uncertainty, Michele was SUPER responsive and flexible. She had so many wonderful suggestions on music, as well as generally for the ceremony, but ultimately was so respectful of our final decisions. I would definitely recommend the flute and violin duo to anyone looking for ceremony musicians!

You can tell Michele puts 110% into every wedding she does, and will help you plan out every detail whenever you need her. She was so responsive, caring, and an integral part of our day. You would be silly not to book her! ❤

the ceremony. She gave great ideas and suggestions not only for music, but for ways to carry out the ceremony so it was just perfect. Michelle was easy to work with and had great communication skills. I told her what type of ceremony I was looking for and she suggested various types of music along with clips for me to listen to. She worked with my officiant to insert music just at the right times. Bridal Music arrived on time and stayed after to play a little music while we were taking pictures and guests were talking. 10/10 stars!
Michele was an absolute dream to work with! We had our ceremony at Allaire Chapel in June 2021. Michele was very efficient and timely in her communication with me. She even sent me...
a whole guide of tips and suggestions for planning the ceremony specific to Allaire Chapel. She was so professional and helpful throughout the whole process. In addition to this, the music they played was absolutely beautiful and perfect. They are able to play different styles to cater to your specific wants. They even came outside and played after the ceremony while we were greeting our guests. I 100% recommend Bridal Music for your wedding.

I got married on 10-10-2020. We got engaged on March 4th right before quarantine started in our state. With the shut down we were really worried that we wouldn't be able to have ...
our wedding. When things did open up enough we were definitely behind the 8-ball with time to get all our vendors in. The site for our wedding gave us a list of suggested vendors, but we were really unsure of what to do. Should we just have a traditional organist or should we try for other types of entertainment? I am so glad I reached out to Michele at Bridal Music NJ! Not only was she super prompt in every message, she was thorough and very upbeat. Even with impending shut downs, she was there cheering us on every bit of the way. She had suggestions for music when we were unsure, but was understanding and really supportive when we created a musical repertoire that fit our wants and needs. Although we had our ceremony in a church, we wrote our own ceremony, thus incorporating music that had sentimental value to us. Even when there was a song they weren't sure could work, they diligently worked with us and ended up finding the sheet music that worked for what we wanted. We had a floutist and a violinist for our ceremony and what a great decision! Their talent and wonderful personalities really impressed our guests. Even 2 months later we are still getting compliments on our music. And wow! The reverb of their sound against the chapel walls was so amazing! Our music could be heard outside of the church and passers-by would stop to check it out (we had our ceremony in an 1800's historic church located in a local state park). I could even hear it while waiting in the limo. What a great asset to our wedding! Whatever you do, HIRE THEM!!! You will NOT be disappointed!

Michele was positive and warm, and working with her was a dream from the hiring process through her duo’s magical performance.

d a little research and I opted for the duet (violin and flute) because it sounded so beautiful together. Michele didn’t disappoint at all and as a matter a fact besides the fact that she played angelic music on the most amazing day of my life she actually helped me a lot organize the ceremony. She shared her previous experiences with me and she gave me some wonderful ideas on how to proceed with our ceremony. I didn’t had a wedding planner but having Michele was like having one for my ceremony. I know how scary and overwhelming it is as a bride to plan the best day of your life! Michele helped a lot and therefore future brides I recommend her with all my heart! My wedding day was just magical!!! Thank you Bridal Music.
