Music for the Moment was wonderful to work with! Karen Kemp was very responsive and accommodating to all the requests my Husband and I made leading up to our special day.
We sent her examples of specific songs we wanted, and during wedding day they sounded the same if not better than our examples.
The prelude music really got our guests into the spirit of the wedding, and highlighted our love in such a beautiful way!
I cannot recommend Karen and the team enough! Such a talented group of individuals that truly made our event so special.
Thank you , Thank you, Thank you!

Karen and the entire Music for the Moment team were wonderful! Booking was a breeze, Karen was very responsive and answered all my initial questions before we booked. I dreamed of walking down the aisle to a string quartet version of "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles and Karen let me know that Music for the Moment would make it happen. Their Youtube channel was a great resource for us when deciding on additional music selections. My husband and I had a consultation call a month before the wedding to go over all the final details and discuss the song lists. On the day of the wedding, the string quartet arrived on time and played beautifully. We requested a selection of 2000s/2010s music for guest arrival. Strawberry Fields sounded exactly how I always imagined on my wedding day and I loved walking back down the aisle after our "I Do's" to "When I'm Sixty-Four." We requested a selection of Beatles/60s/70s songs for the cocktail hour and had so many of our guests come up to us and compliment the quartet. If you are looking for that perfect added touch for your wedding, I would absolutely recommend Music for the Moment!

Karen was so easy to work with, she helped us pick the music we liked and we were all set. The day of, she arrived with time to spare and the quartet played beautifully.

We had the pleasure of having Music For The Moment String Ensembles perform at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From the very first note, they set the perfect tone for our special day, creating an enchanting atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. The musicianship and professionalism displayed by the entire ensemble were truly top-notch.
The owner, Karen, worked closely with us to select the perfect repertoire, including our favorite songs, and even arranged a special piece as my father walked me down the aisle. Their versatility and skill in transitioning between classical pieces for the ceremony and more lively, upbeat selections for the cocktail hour made the entire experience seamless and memorable.
Every musician was incredibly talented, and their performance added an elegant and sophisticated touch to our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect musical backdrop. Music For The Moment exceeded all of our expectations, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their event. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!

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.

We booked Music for the moment for our May 2023 wedding and did they deliver!!!! A few months before our wedding we decided to do a string quarter as opposed to our planned trio, and Karen was extremely understanding and accommodating! Our ceremony felt like a true dream, it was everything I pictures but better! They all sounded so lovely and were so easy to work with, I also loved the modern songs we choose on string, it was perfect!!! Highly recommend Karen and Music for the Moment!🩷

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.

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!

I hesitate leaving a bad review because I understand this is a person’s livelihood. With that said, I would not recommend this vendor for a wedding. I contracted for the violin only for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. After a quote was received and I accepted the amount, I received a contract in the mail for signature and submitted my deposit with the final balance due a month before the wedding. It was straightforward and I was impressed. A week before my wedding Deena reached out to me for my music selections and she sent me a list of songs she has. We spoke briefly on the phone and she told me to either call or email her back asap with my selections for the processional, sand ceremony, and recessional. I emailed her my selections and thought everything was good to go. The morning of the wedding as I’m waiting for the guest to arrive, she comes to the bridal suite and asks me what I want her to play. I told her I emailed her and she said she never got it, so I told her the songs and she said she doesn’t have the sheet music with her. I was very upset, but I didn’t want to take that negative energy into the ceremony. I look through a folder she has and just picked a song. She played the song for the processional and sand ceremony fine. For the recessional after the pastor pronounced us husband and wife, we turn around and wave to our family and friends and wait for her to play. We wait and nothing. Finally we just start to walk, and we’re practically up to the second row before she starts playing. We didn’t have a first look so we took photos during the cocktail hour and didn’t hear the music. My dad told me after the violinist sounded horrible and I should have just let him play the piano. He said this without even knowing my above experience with her. Maybe this was just a one off as there are a lot of great reviews, but my experience was not good.
Vendor response 06/25/2019
I had not heard from the bride until I emailed and called a few days before the wedding.I ...
looked for the email with the music selections and it never arrived. I usually respond that I received the email.
The pastor told me that he was going to introduce the couple and I waited to hear him introduce the couple. There was a lag and the pastor finally introduced the couple and I played the recessional.
I have never been told that my performing at a cocktail hour was horrible. I received many complements from the guests.

Planning and coordinating with Music for the Moment was a really smooth experience. Deena was responsive to our emails and questions in a quick and timely manner. She provided guidance and was helpful in our music selection. They offered a lot of variety and continue to grow their music list. It was such an effortless experience, we are so grateful to Deena and her ensemble. They also play so well and beautifully, we highly recommend!

We used music for the moment on my wedding at the Olde Mill Inn 10.22.17. I had a violin and cello duo that played classical music for our ceremony and contemporary, modern songs for our cocktail hour. I was told by a friend that there is always one thing that a bride cannot go without. For me, that was walking down to pachelbel canon and I am so glad that my dreams came true with music for the moment! I remember hearing the music and walking out to meet with my husband. It was a dream. The music was loud enough for everyone to hear outdoors and everyone enjoyed the contemporary music they played for cocktail hour! Working with Deena was an absolute pleasure. She is very responsive to emails and phone calls. Pricing was reasonable as well. If you also have dreamed to walking down to live string music for your wedding, this is the company for you!

We were married on October 22, 2017 and Deena provided the music for the pre-ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour. We had the most beautiful string music. She had a great selection of songs so we were able to personalize the ceremony with songs. Deena also helped with selection of the number of songs we needed for the ceremony. She was professional, courteous and very nice. Everyone at our small intimate wedding loved the music. Thank you again for being a part of our special day!

Deena is very willing to adapt and learn new songs, if you want something that isn't already on her extensive list of available pieces. We chose her fairly last minute, so we couldn't have her do anything off-menu - but she had plenty to choose from and we were thrilled that she was able to work with us with only a month or two notice. (Our wedding was a weekday, so the date wasn't as much of an issue as it could have been.) She is quick to respond to her emails, easy to work with, and affordable. Would recommend to everyone! I opted for a violin-cello duo for my wedding ceremony and the additional cocktail hour performance added on at a low fee. Worth it!!

Music for the Moment performed at our wedding on July 3rd 2016. For the ceremony we asked Deena if she could play Pas de Deux from the Nutcracker. Not only did she learn it, she played a beautiful version of it during the ceremony. Their music was a great touch, and the Deena and her team were professional and played everything that we could have asked for. My wife and I are musicians (so we know music) and Music for the Moment is worth the investment. They will go above and beyond on your special day. On a final note, my wife and I accidentally over-payed for their services. Deena alerted us to the over-payment and returned our payment on the day of the wedding.

I had originally booked another string ensemble vendor for my wedding. To my dismay, they canceled just a few short months before the wedding. In a panic, I quickly read some reviews, then reached out to Deena Leff and explained the situation. She quickly confirmed availability of her musicians for my date and time, and assured me that things would run smoothly. I selected the string trio for both my ceremony music and cocktail hour. Deena provided me with a list of musical selections from which to choose, and then used her expertise to help me refine the selections to best suit my ceremony and the size of my wedding party. On the day of the wedding, the string trio performed beautifully, and the music was lovely. Our guests were so impressed with our choice of live musicians and their vast repertoire, particularly during the cocktail hour. Not only that, I have Deena to thank for my officiant! I didn’t know where to begin to find one, and one of her recommendations, based on her experience and observation at many weddings, turned out to be the perfect choice for us. In hindsight, the day my original vendor canceled on me turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because I otherwise would not have booked Music for the Moment, and we would have missed a wonderful experience. It is with the utmost sincerity and pleasure that I highly recommend Deena and her musicians for your event.

Deena was great and easy to work with, we told her what we waned and what songs or what genres. After that there was nothing left to do other than enjoy the beautiful music on the day of our wedding. I had violin/ciello duo for the ceremony and then a pianist for the cocktai hour, they showed up early and did an amazing job. We highly recommend them!

The experience wasn't that great. I booked way early in advance. Being a musician I picked out all my music well ahead of time and sent it over to Deena almost 4 months in advance. She said she received it and all was okay but I apparently owed more money because it was a mass (which I could've sworn I mentioned) and it may run over time. She said they would play all songs since they are there for the mass anyway. She assured me through many emails that all was okay. I had a music director for the church try and get in contact with her as he was the organist and they would be working together. 2 days before my wedding my mom called her to confirm and she claims she had no idea what music we were doing even though she confirmed the email with the songs 4 months prior. She was aloof and shrugged it off that "it would all work out." I tried to reach her as I obviously was in a panic and I was told by a man she would call me back. Instead of a call I got an email saying everything was fine. Yes, they showed up and yes, the music was beautiful so they get 3 stars. But they did not play any songs during the mass (Basically just played music before the ceremony and when I walked down the aisle and when we lit the unity candle) and I honestly think it was completely outrageous for the price I paid AND to have to pay extra for a mass when they didn't even play. Could have been a much better experience.

I found these guys through the knot, and am so glad that I went with them! My husband and I got married at Neshanic Reformed Church in Neshanic Station, and having the string quartet just added to the beauty of the ceremony. Working with Deena was such a joy! She is quick in following up with phone calls and emails. She was able to provide suggestions based on what is used frequently as well as the type of ceremony that we were having. I am so glad that I listened to her advice! So many guests have complimented us on how great the church sounded with them. I only wish that I was able to hear more of them! (I was outside of the church until I walked up the aisle).
Thank you for your professionalism and affordability! It really made our day great!

We had our wedding in October at The Breakers in Spring Lake, and Deena and two other lovely ladies (the string trio) played during the ceremony and reception. From the beginning, Deena was extremely responsive and accommodating. After I sent her the initial email, she called me that very afternoon. I told her that my kids, who are both musicians, wanted to sing a few songs during the ceremony and asked her if she would be willing to work with them long distance since they both live out of state. She said no problem. After that, she communicated directly with them and worked everything out. I love show tunes, and Deena asked me to send her a list of my favorites. She had them all. The music was so beautiful. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you very much Deena for making our day even more special! Michele & Tom

This is the second time I have used Music for the Moment for an event. The first time was for my Civil Union, 7 years ago and the 2nd was for my wedding just a few weeks back. Both times, I used her for the cocktail hour and the ceremony. There is nothing quite like a string trio of musicians setting the mood for the wedding party and the guests. Deena was very accommodating with my music selections which combined classical and popular (Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Carole King). When the trio began the ceremony with "Let it be me", there wasn't a dry eye to be found. Everyone loved them and my cousin hired them for her daughters wedding.

Deena Leff of Music for the Moment was incredibly courteous and quick to respond to any email correspondence I sent her regarding my music preferences for our June 28th nuptials at The Bernards Inn.
Within an hour after reaching out to Deena via email one evening, she wrote me back explaining that she'd be able to accommodate my request for a cello and violin duo on our wedding date, describing what services would be provided and at what cost. Within three days I'd received our contract in the mail along with a sample CD of all the music that could be played at the wedding/cocktail hour.
Deena contacted me shortly before my wedding to ask for what song to play during my walk down the aisle, during the unity candle/handbinding/insert ceremonial gesture here (if we were having one), and finally what to play for the recessional.
While I could only enjoy Deena's musical compositions for a short while (we were rushed upstairs for pictures while our guests enjoyed our previous musical selections), I was VERY pleased with her work - start to finish!
Thanks so much for making our wedding that much more special, Deena!

We used Music for the Moment for our wedding in May, and were extremely pleased. We had a quartet for the ceremony & cocktail hour, and then doubled the musicians to an Octet for the reception, as we were in a large ballroom with 150 guests. It was just lovely for an afternoon wedding -- our guests are still talking about it! Thanks!

Music for the Moment did a beautiful job playing classical string quartet music for my wedding in April. I evaluated music samples of several string quartets before deciding that Music for the Moment had the best quality music (confirmed by a friend of mine who is a professional classical concert pianist.) Deena Leff was my point of contact, and she was always professional and responsive whenever I had questions. She had a calming presence and a great sense of humor, and made helpful suggestions for music selections in the process of planning my Catholic wedding ceremony.

Music for the Moment made my wedding go from good to AMAZING!! I must of had at least 50 people (this is an understatement) tell me after the ceremony how incredible the music was. Deena was great from emails to phone calls to picking songs pre-ceremony to the ceremony...she got everything we wanted. It was perfect!!!! This will make the future brides and grooms wedding complete. Book them asap and have no worries.
They were true professionals...the sample CD does NOT do justice to how amazing they sounds in real life. I had them perform Jason Mraz "Im yours" and my heart melt when I heard it as I walked down the aisle. I can not wait to see them again at my friends and families weddings. I know I will see them in the future. We will forever be in debt to Music for the Moment!!!

Deena worked with us to arrange several songs that would important to us for a less traditional wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests are still talking about the variety of music (Disney, Beatles, Beach Boys, Broadway, etc.) that the trio played. As bride and groom we wished we could have heard all of it, but the day flew by! Thankfully we have a video of the ceremony that includes the background music we carefully selected with Deena's help. They are wonderful and a great value.

Deena and her quartet members did an amazing job! They had a wide range of music to choose from and were open to specific requests. I had a traditional church ceremony and the sound of the quartet in the church was breathtaking. It really added a romantic element to the ceremony. Unfortunately the ceremony started 30 min late and they handled the additional time playing very professionally and we received numerous compliments from our guests. I would recommend Music for the Moment to anyone looking for an outstanding musical ensemble.

The quartet that we had for our ceremony and cocktail hour was very professional and sounded great. They played a variety of songs and were a hit at the wedding! A little bit pricey though.
