Maureen Christine, Vocalist

After our ceremony musician backed out with only 2 weeks to go until our wedding, I reached out to Maureen Christine, and she did an AMAZING job as the vocalist at our Catholic wedding! From the first communication we had, Maureen was warm, calming, and easy to work with. We met to choose songs, and she played and sang songs I wasn't familiar with to help me pick. I ended up with a set of songs for our ceremony that was exactly what I wanted. She also recommended a great pianist to serve as her accompanist. When the wedding day came, I could not have been more pleased. Maureen and her accompanist were early and set up in time to sing when guests arrived. I heard all of the songs we picked out, and Maureen's voice was absolutely beautiful. I heard so many compliments after the ceremony about our lovely music. If I had to go back and do again, I would definitely book Maureen Christine!

Maureen was absolutely amazing! Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but she is incredibly helpful in music selection. She spent time with my husband and I singing through songs to help us choose what we wanted for our ceremony. She also worked very well with the music director at the church. I absolutely trusted Maureen with the music for the ceremony, and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. She's wonderful!

I was SO LUCKY to find Maureen Christine last-minute to be a cantor for our Catholic wedding. She had every other weekend booked except mine - and it's easy to see why! From the beginning, she offered to reach out to my ceremony musicians and planned the whole liturgy for the mass. I didn't have to do anything! Maureen goes above and beyond to ease any stress for planning your ceremony. She provides recommendations, and outlines everything you need for your programs (if you have them). Cannot recommend Maureen enough. She is FANTASTIC!

Maureen’s beautiful singing of The Prayer & the Ave Maria were truly moving. All the songs she sang at the wedding seemed especially heartfelt, and connected the whole ceremony together in a seamless and meaningful way. Maureen’s voice really made the whole service incredibly special.

Maureen was our vocalist for our wedding ceremony this past December and we could not have made a better decision! Her voice was amazing and so were the violinist and pianist she arranged for us! From the beginning, she was so great to work with and responded so quickly with many suggestions to help create the ceremony of our dreams. We also received many great compliments from our guests who absolutely loved her voice and the musicians! We highly recommend Maureen!

I cannot say enough about Maureen!! She and her accompanist sang/played at my wedding and completely made the ceremony exactly what I had wanted. Her voice is just amazing and made the day that much more beautiful! She was wonderful to work with, helping me to pick out the songs with ease. She made the experience so easy and fun! I would definitely recommend!

I could not be more pleased with Maureen Christine’s singing at my wedding this January. From the initial contact Maureen seemed excited to be a part of my vision for the wedding ceremony, yet also understanding that I needed help with choosing some of the songs. She quickly sent me several sound clips of her singing various songs and I knew right away I wanted her to sing for my wedding. She suggested I consider hiring flute and piano. Michael Bazan played the flute and it sounded really nice on the recordings. I admit at first I wasn’t sure how much the flute would add overall but I trusted Maureen. After all the compliments I received from family and friends about the music I felt really good about my decision. Maureen’s voice and Michael on the flute really added so much to my wedding ceremony. Definitely worth it!

Maureen's voice was more than I expected! Honestly I'd describe it as magical. Perhaps it was Maureen's amazing singing along with the flute, violin and the piano against the backdrop of the church with all Christmas decorations and Poinsettias but it was so perfect our guests couldn't stop talking about it. Maureen's voice is kind-of a cross between Celine Dion, the emotion of Adelle, Barbra Streisand (according to my uncle) and even a little Julie Andrews. I don't know exactly lol. What I do know is that Maureen along with Micheal on the flute and the other musicians was the best part of my wedding! Maureen was also easy to work with; I made some last minute changes to the music and she handled all of it with the other musicians. Plus I was so grateful that she kept trying to calm my nerves so I wouldn't be worried. I couldn't have been more pleased.

Maureen gave a lovely performance last Saturday 10/10/15 at my daughters wedding ceremony. Her singing, the music and the violin and piano was spectacular. We could not have been more pleased. Maureen was very helpful with choosing songs and placement of music. She did an outstanding job and we are continuing to receive compliments on the music from friends and family. I would not hesitate to refer her in the future!

Maureen and Michael are amazing! I wanted something different for my entrance and Maureen's beautiful voice singing our song along with Michael's wonderful flute playing was exactly what I wanted. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, it was great. Then, we had them do a jazzy cocktail hour at the beginning of the reception, and they did some fun jazz songs, and even some more main stream hits like Adele! I honestly couldn't be any happier with their work, and at least one of my friends is already wanting to book them for her wedding!

Maureen sang for my wedding March 14th and she was truly amazing. Just before my entrance I could hear Maureen singing the special song I requested for my mom “You Raise Me Up” and it was much more beautiful that I imagined it would be. Not only did Maureen’s amazing voice add so much to the ceremony but the other musicians: the violinist she arranged for us plus her husband Michael Bazan on flute, were fantastic too. So many of our guests told us what a wonderful vocalist we had and how impressed they were with the music and we we couldn't agree more. Maureen also helped us with the preparation of the music selections and was really invested in helping us choose songs that reflected my husband and I.

My fiance and I wanted something for our wedding that a DJ or the usual wedding band could not deliver; unmatched elegance, class, and a voice that could do justice to the love and joy overflowing from us on our special day. When we reached out to discuss having her sing at our wedding reception, Maureen was very personable, organized, and easy to work with. She instilled in us a sense of calm and comfort that helped us come to our decision to hire her. Not only was her voice one of the best and most memorable that I've heard, but she has the business knowledge and talent to work with clients that made her the best choice possible. She helped us to select the songs that best fit with our wedding day and the tone that we wanted to set. She has selected musicians to work with her that are talented and a great compliment to her singing. She allowed us to listen to some of the different musicians that she has worked with in the past to make the best choices to create the perfect ensemble. My husband was especially pleased with the violin, flute, and trumpet players. On our wedding day, hearing her voice filling the ballroom as we had our first dance as husband and wife was unforgettable. She is truly gifted. I was not the only one (thankfully so) with tears filling my eyes. Her voice has a truly breathtaking quality that is part sheer talent, and part natural beauty; this voice was bestowed upon her to bring joy to others and she has done just that. I cannot begin to describe the volume of the applause that filled the room after she sang her first song. The band was fantastic as well. Our guests were absolutely floored with her talent, as was I. I know that I absolutely made the right decision.

This isn't a review for my own wedding, but it was a renewal ceremony/reception that I coordinated for my parents from about 1200 miles away. I just could not be happier with everything Maureen Christine did for us at my parent's 50th wedding anniversary (vow renewal and reception). Not only was her voice lovely and the music beautiful, but every detail was taken care of. Frankly, I don't think I could have done it without her. Because we live in Maryland and my parents live in Illinois, it was a especially hard for me to get everything organized from so far away. Not only did she make good song recommendations, but she handled many little extra things for me (talking to the priest, and even working with the hotel manager who had forgotten something). The musicians were wonderful and the song that she did with the violinist made everyone cry. I recommend her highly.

Maureen made our wedding everything I hoped it would be! While a few of the details of my wedding day were a blur, I distinctly remember holding my husband's hand as we listened to Maureen sing "Grow Old With Me," during our wedding ceremony. Maureen truly has the most beautiful voice. I was also pleased with the flute and pianist we hired thru Maureen, and I'm glad we had them play for the cocktail hour as well. We had a friend play the Ipod for the reception so it really added that "something special" to have live music for some of it. Also, my ceremony started a little late and Maureen sang extra songs for the guests while they waited for the ceremony to begin. Maureen went "above and beyond" to make our wedding beautiful and magical. So many of my family and friends have mentioned Maureen's singing to me, and my husband and I could not have been more thrilled.

I was thrilled with Maureen Christine and her incredible voice. The wedding ceremony music was very important to us. The nerves I felt prior to the ceremony were calmed when I heard Maureen sing for the Seating Of The Parents. I whispered to my fiancee during the Ave Maria "She's awesome" and he whispered back "Best decision we made." I am so glad we were able to have Maureen sing at our wedding, and her piano accompanist was great too.

I knew the music for my wedding ceremony had to be awesome. I looked at others, but hired Maureen Christine and three musicians to sing and play before and during our wedding ceremony. They were AMAZING! Maureen was so helpful with the details, and was very willing to learn two new songs, one of which was a surprise for my husband and his guests, so I knew it had to be good. Maureen sang all of the songs so beautifully. My only regret is that we choose not to video our ceremony. Looking back I really would have loved to hear the music again. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. Many were brought to tears. I cannot thank Maureen enough for all she did, and for her beautiful voice. The music truly helped to make our wedding day PERFECT.

If you are looking for a singer for your wedding ceremony Maureen Christine is definitely the way to go! She is a very talented singer and fit in seamlessly with the rest of our music group on our wedding day, all of whom she had never performed with before. She is very prompt at returning emails and helping you choose the perfect selections for your wedding day. Additionally, she contacted the pianist and other musicians on her own to ensure that everyone was using the same composer and version before the day of the wedding. She had all the details covered from start to finish leaving me with nothing to worry about, kind of like a mini-wedding planner which was great! We are still getting comments from our friends and family on how gifted she was. I would recommend her without hesitation to any one looking for a wedding singer.

Maureen is an amazing vocalist that makes every song sound amazing. She worked directly with my string quartet and I was totally hands off once the music was selected. She does however want to stick to the songs on her "list" so caution if you have a dream wedding song she might not sing it. But everything the day of my wedding everything was perfect!
