If you’re looking for a wedding singer who will not only bring your vision to life but elevate it to something truly magical, look no further than Mikaela Kahn. From the moment we ...
first started discussing the plan for our small ceremony and dinner, I knew Mikaela was the best choice. We had very little idea of what we needed music-wise, but Mikaela immediately helped guide us through what the evening should look like and offered advice. She and her husband absolutely delivered beyond our wildest dreams.
As a Taylor Swift fan, it was very important to me that as many of her songs were incorporated as possible and she did it in such a thoughtful way that even family members who were not Swifties mentioned how much they loved the arrangements and Mikaela's takes on some of the biggest hits. She and her husband created the most beautiful acoustic atmosphere for our ceremony. When it came time for the processional, they performed “Daylight” building the intensity perfectly to make my entrance feel so much more emotional and beautiful. Many people said it was their favorite moment. It couldn't have been more perfect.
Mikaela is not only an incredibly talented musician but also a kind, thoughtful, and professional person to work with. She truly listened to what we wanted and brought so much care and passion to every detail. If you’re considering live music for your wedding, I cannot recommend Mikaela Kahn enough.

If I could give a million stars I would. Mikaela and her sweet husband, plus an incredibly talented pedal steel player, CRUSHED our ceremony. As soon as I heard them start to play ...
while I was hiding away before I walked down the aisle I was crying. You can tell that they absolutely just love what they do and I am forever grateful for how special they made our ceremony. Everyone was coming up to me throughout the night to say just how spectacular they were playing!!! On top of that, Mikaela was an ABSOLUTE GEM to work with. She’s kind, listens, and is just the type of person you know you’d be friends with. I’m so glad I found her and enjoyed every second of working together. Again, HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. No one better!!!!!!

My wife and I feel so lucky to have had Mikaela and Jordan perform as our wedding musicians. With a keyboard, guitar, and two incredibly beautiful voices, they provided the soundtr...
ack to the best day of our life.
They played for 3+ hours, starting with our procession (which was outdoors and sound quality was perfect), through cocktail hour and dinner. They also played our first dance, which was a beautiful and jazzy cover of Make You Feel My Love by Adele. During dinner, they also played a piano version of Buy U a Drank that was so amazing and fun- was definitely a head turner for the millennials in the room. We got so many great comments from guests telling us how great they were and how much they added such a unique and charming flavor to the whole event.
Mikaela coordinated directly with our DJ to make sure everything worked together and went smoothly which took a big logistical task off our plate. They are just total pros and it can’t be underestimated how helpful it is for your vendors to make the little things run smooth so you can focus on the other million things you’re juggling leading up to and on your wedding day.
Beyond being super talented, Mikaela and Jordan are just the loveliest people and working with them was a dream. Mikaela met with us months before the wedding to talk through our music and gave us the time and space to make thoughtful decisions (which was amazing because my wife and I had severe musical decision fatigue). She was so so kind, communicative, and genuinely cared about helping us create the right feel for those meaningful moments.
Really can’t recommend Mikaela and Jordan enough. If you’re considering live musicians for your wedding, you’ll absolutely love them!

Mikaela was on the preferred vendors list for my venue and we're so glad we found her. Guests commented that the music made our wedding feel like a 90's rom-com! She has a *very* e...
xtensive repertoire of songs so it was easy to choose our favorites and bring my vision for a pop/folk/motown-inspired ceremony and cocktail hour to life. She helped us plan, was very clear and communicative but never pushy, and was even willing to learn a new song (for a very reasonable fee) which I had my heart set on including. We also had some pre-recorded songs queue-ed up for various points in the ceremony and a couple of musical performances by family members, and she DJ'ed everything seamlessly. I've run many events and I was worried about logistics like moving instruments from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, etc. but Mikaela is a PRO and had already thought of everything so there would be no downtime. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again for any event!

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Mikaela was. From the moment we found her videos online, we were completely hooked—and somehow, she was even better in person. She played...
for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and every single note felt like it was pulled straight out of a romcom. She also helped us choose our processional song (because I was overwhelmed and indecisive!) and ended up playing the most beautiful version live. During cocktail hour, people kept coming up to us saying, ‘Wait, who is this?!’ because she’s that good. Hire her. You’ll cry happy tears and look like a genius to your guests.

Stunning live performance during ceremony + cocktail hour and an absolutely electric dance floor dj set during the reception. Not to mention flawless MC’ing directing guests to dinner, cake cutting, the dance floor, ect. One of the best choices we made for our wedding!!!

Wow. It was an absolute privilege to have Mikaela play and sing at our wedding ceremony. My guests literally said they thought that we were playing a Spotify “cover music” playlist...
when they first walked in because she was truly THAT good. Never did I think the ceremony would be my favorite part of my wedding (we love to dance and eat so we thought the reception would be the highlight). But because of Mikaela, it ended up be my absolute most favorite and memorable part of my wedding day. I can’t say enough good things. She learned my aisle walk song too, in about a week. Her talent is incredible. And her energy is so magnetic too (as if the singing and piano weren’t enough). I got the chance to chat with her after and she is such a ray of sunshine. Anyone who is able to have her, will be blown away.
