Carolina Music Planner

at instruments might sound best and Megan was extremely helpful and responsive in answering all my questions and guiding us in the right direction for the sounds and vibe we wanted to achieve. We ended up going with a solo pianist, and Tayler, our pianist sounded MAGICAL. She added the perfect backdrop to our mountain wedding. And my husband surprised me with a song he had learned and memorized on the piano and Tayler so generously and kindly let him play it on her keyboard. If I had to do this all over again, I would absolutely book with Carolina Music Planner again, and you should too!

We had several custom choices and those pieces made the ceremony extra special!

ere and I received so many compliments on choice of music. Our venue was a country club lodge so it was the perfect choice to go with the venue to really set the mood and ambiance.

t in any of their set lists and they played them all beautifully! Megan was absolutely phenomenal with giving recommendations and was so invested in making our vision happen. If you want live music at all in your ceremony please consider them! We couldn’t recommend them more!

unication, showed up on time and was a beautiful performance!

flexible, even when the groom was 10 minutes late!

y first played the "Wedding Stars & Rings" and "Sweet Carolina" set lists for the prelude prior to our wedding ceremony. They then had a few Hindi songs they played for the processional. They then moved onto "Tonight's Gonna be a Good Night" and "Viva La Bruno and Ed", 2 hip hop, R&B and pop set lists, which were a huge hit! Finally, they did an impromptu collaboration with a tabla player (indian musical instrument) for 2 more Hindi songs. We could not be happier with their performance and broad musical range. And Megan was amazing to coordinate with (super responsive and helpful in selecting music)!

uch grace and offered us a range of options to choose from. Her quick responses to our queries made everything so much easier. One special touch we requested was seamlessly incorporated into the arrangements, adding a beautiful and personalized element to the event. The trio she provided for the music was simply fabulous. Their performance exceeded all of our expectations and truly set the perfect atmosphere for the day. We are so thankful for her expertise and the beautiful music that added such a special touch to our daughter's wedding day. Megan's dedication to making everything just right truly made a difference and contributed to a memorable celebration that we will cherish forever.

ed to learn custom pieces for the wedding, they were very professional and sounded incredible. I cannot recommend them high enough!

ing was excellent. Carolina Music Planner exceeded all of our expectations.

o an already incredible day. 10/10 would recommend.

ve received nothing but compliments from our family and friends. If you are considering a string duo for your wedding or event, I absolutely recommend them.

e!

ated everything to the next level. Highly recommend!

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!!

had them as part of our wedding day!!

ry apparent even with just a violin and cello!

flexible with our questions.

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.

hat 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!

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!

d they absolutely were. This company took all of the stress out of finding/hiring quality musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

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.

ng. It made our wedding feel incredibly classy and beautiful.

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!

were tons of songs for us to chose from! Additionally, the pre-established setlists were very well-crafted! We highly recommend Carolina Music Planner!

the day without the music from CMP for the more formal portions of the day (ceremony and cocktail hour). Hearing people recognize and react to pop/rock songs on strings was the very best and I am so thrilled that we had them at our wedding. 11/10 recommend!

nal and so talented. They followed all our little nitty gritty requests and even played some songs for us not on their set lists by special request. Their booking/invoicing was very intuitive and easy and their questionnaire really helped us plan in the early stages. They were great at communicating, showed up early, and without needing any instruction from us did everything we wanted. Love them and would highly recommend to anyone!

us. The ensemble was talented, professional, and spot on. We heartily recommend them!

ndor 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.

t 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 sound so elegant. At one point during dinner, I noticed they were playing one of my all time favorite songs and it made me 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!

ly talented and the team was easy to work with throughout the planning process. We would absolutely recommend Carolina Music Planner to other couples!

any 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!

d lovely for the ceremony. Can't recommend enough!

Such talent and personal touch. We would recommend them to everyone - so versatile and worth every penny!

, I didn’t get to hear them perform but I heard raving reviews from my guests. I am so happy that I made the decision to have Carolina Music Planner as my music!

sicians and they were an awesome addition to our special day. I would highly recommend!!

usic Planner. Megan Johnson Barnes and her talented associates provided the music for both our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We chose to book the harp quartet and all I can say is that the music was stunningly beautiful! From our first contact, Megan was so helpful and informative. She was always prompt in returning emails and always so patient towards the bride and her mother in regard to just about everything: music selections, set list options, special requests, and even music tempos! An absolute professional and A+ caliber musician right here in the heart of North Carolina. Carolina Music Planner is a MUST HAVE if you are planning a wedding. These talented musicians made my daughter’s wedding day extra special! Our guests are still talking about the beautiful music!
