Maura was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding! She is incredibly talented, as well as reasonably priced. She works with an array of musicians (if you want them!), so she can coordinate any music you want. We chose a mix of music that reflected us, including traditional Catholic mass songs, contemporary, Irish music, and Broadway, all of which were done beautifully. You know how good she is, because when you sit down to talk about what music you want, she will start singing on the spot- she doesnt need any accompaniment, shes that good.Beyond the music though, Maura is just such an awesome person! Absolutely no stress, and will work with you to pick the perfect songs to reflect exactly the tone of your wedding. We heard so many compliments on the music at our ceremony, and how much everyone enjoyed it. She also double checked my wedding program to be sure all the music was listed correctly, and emailed me in the days leading up just to ensure me that everything was all set (so nice since I had to reach out to most of my vendors to confirm). We chose to add extra instruments, all of which Maura coordinated and rehearsed with on her own time (harp, cello, violin and trumpet) and gave different instruments the lead on each song. She is AWESOME.
Maura Malloy helped me plan the music for my daughters wedding. Her willingness to advise on music selections as well as instruments (harp etc) was invaluable. The music and Mauras beautiful voice made the wedding mass so beautiful and most importantly memorable. So many of our friends and family commented on how the music at church was outstanding and really enhanced the mass. Engaging Maura was one of the best decisions we made!
I used Maura and Co for my wedding ceremony music and I cannot say enough good things about her! From the start, Maura was organized, in constant communication and flexible. Going into the process of picking out music, I was a little unsure of what I was looking for and Maura was so helpful in guiding me. It made what I thought would be a stressful process very easy! She was honest in what she thought I would and wouldnt need based on the songs we had picked and the music on our special day was just beautiful. Not only did Mauras music play such an important part in our ceremony, but she also organized the entire entrance of grandparents, parents and bridal party, which put me at ease. She made everything from start to finish easy and stress free- just what brides need!
We had an absolutely fabulous experience with Maura. She is stellar is all ways and her voice is absolutely beautiful. She is extremely flexible and gives you accurate information about what music is available in various settings throughout her service area. She was extremely helpful the day of the wedding and helped guide the wedding party to be in the right place at the right time to make sure that things stayed on schedule and went off flawlessly. I would highly recommend Maura without the slightest hesitation.
Maura was awesome. Pre-wedding she was very responsive with comprehensive and helpful details for our day. She gave us great recommendations on which instruments and music to use for our ceremony and cocktail hour. During the event, the music was beautiful and very well done.
I had been to weddings that Maura sang at, so I knew, when the time came for any of my children to get married, we wanted Maura at the church. My son got married this summer so we called Maura this past spring. We met with Maura and she took detailed notes of their ceremony, and was a huge help in picking out just the right music for each portion of the mass. We wanted a harp only and she provided a wonderful musician who was perfect. The day of the ceremony, she showed up early to practice in the church with the harp - it was lovely for any guests that were early. She was elegant, professional, but most importantly, her voice is beautiful!! She made the ceremony so special - I would highly recommend Maura for your wedding!!!
I first met Maura through Father Quinn at St. Johns the Evangelist in Mahopac, NY. My wedding was set to take place at the church and Maura would be coordinating the day and providing music during the ceremony. When I first reached out to Maura, she responded to my email immediately and was ready to chat on the phone about details the very next day. Maura guided me and my mother throughout the entire ceremony process (how many songs, types of songs). She even helped us understand what would happen before, during and after the ceremony. Maura was incredibly flexible in terms of the music we selected. We were able to include some non-traditional songs like Journeys Dont Stop Believing. She suggested including a harp for the ceremony which was the most beautiful addition (aside from Mauras stunning voice, of course!). Maura kept me calm from the moment I stepped into the church until the moment the ceremony ended. To be honest, I wasnt sure what to expect that day, but I am completely blown away by the beauty of Mauras singing and the harp music. Maybe Im a little biased, but it was the best ceremony I ever went to and I truly believe it was the most memorable part of the day.Thank you Maura & Co for making my ceremony so perfect! You will always have a place in my heart when I look back at the fond memories of my wedding day.
The music provided by Maura & Co. absolutely MADE our wedding! I could not believe what I was listening to when I walked into the back of the church waiting for the big moment. We had a countless number of people come up to us both at the reception and days after telling us that it was the most beautiful wedding mass they had ever been to because of the music. It was mesmerizing! Maura was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always on top of our communication and knew exactly what we wanted for the mass. She was honest with what she thought we needed and didnt need based on our music selection. I never had to worry about the music because I knew she was extremely organized and had everything under control! Maura took it upon herself to speak directly with the music director of the church which cut me out as the middle man completely! Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would use Maura again in a heartbeat!
Maura and her musicians (including the wonderful Claudia Wigent) were fantastic - hands down! In an industry where many people can be unresponsive and unprofessional, Maura and Claudia were consistently responsive and incredibly professional. We had quite a lot of music at our ceremony and Maura and her team orchestrated the music beautifully. In addition, we used them for our cocktail hour (as there was a DJ for the reception) and the music was diverse and thoroughly enjoyed by the guests. Maura and her team responded to our emails at all times of the day and were very flexible and accommodating to our tastes.I couldnt recommend Maura and her team more - they were absolutely wonderful!
Maura was a pleasure to work with and helped me coordinate a beautiful church ceremony. Maura sang and we had an organ player. She has a beautiful voice and the ceremony was very moving! Throughout the process she helped answer any questions I had regarding the schedule and program. She also coordinated the bridal party while at the Church and this is exactly what a bride needs. Its the last thing we should be worried about before we walk down the aisle! I would recommend Maura to any of my friends and family.
Maura was a pleasure to work with! I am so glad that we decided to hire her to provide the music for our wedding ceremony in August. She was extremely helpful throughout the planning process: she was always very responsive and provided thoughtful guidance as we were making our selections. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Maura was fantastic! She was extremely helpful with picking out the music and coordinating the musicians, and she was very responsive throughout the process. She has a beautiful voice and made the ceremony very special! She also brought a harpist and trumpet player, and worked with the organist from my parish - they all sounded wonderful.
Maura Molloy is a lovely person and a talented musician. My family and I have been enjoying her music for years at Christmas Eve mass at our parish and I always hoped one day I would be able to have her sing at my wedding. Maura is so knowledgeable and will work with you to create your ideal wedding. She has recommendations for songs that fit seamlessly into each part of the ceremony and is also willing to learn requests. When we were planning our wedding we knew we wanted a traditional Catholic ceremony though wanted to have some of our personality reflected. In addition to the more traditional songs, Maura added an Irish song and learned our special request; her performance of the song did it every bit of justice. She was also extremely helpful putting together the best ensemble of instruments for what our budget allowed. We took her suggestion for a harpist and cannot imagine it any other way. Maura’s talent, knowledge and professionalism exceeded all of our expectations.
Maura & Co. Music: Totally Wonderful! Recently I had the absolute pleasure of working with Maura for the first time. I am a ceremony officiant and ceremony coordinator and needed a violinist to play during a ceremony in Central Park. Maura was a total pleasure for me and my clients to work with and, the violinist she sent us, Victoria Paterson was amazing! Needless to say, I am committed to using Maura & Company in the future!

2022-04-12We hired Maura & Co to provide music at our traditional Catholic ceremony in Oct 2021 after she provided beautiful ceremony music for my sisters wedding the year prior. Maura is extremely professional and very knowledgeable on what type of music and instruments you may want. She listened to me explain what my personal style was and what I was hoping for, and then offered suggestions for song choices, instruments, and vocals. She made the process quick and took some wedding planning stress off my shoulders! The musicians were incredible and I was nearly in tears at the beautifully sung Ave Maria during our ceremony- it was like I was in an absolute dream!!! Multiple guests made mention of the beautiful music following our ceremony. I highly recommend Maura and her team!

2019-12-20Everyone who came to our wedding were so impressed with how talented and incredible the music was at the ceremony, its been almost 3 months and people still talk about it.

2015-08-03Maura was simply amazing. She was super responsive when I first contacted her for ceremony music for my wedding, and we met right away to discuss everything. Her website was so informative and gave me many ideas for music for my catholic mass ceremony. She even has links to hear different songs, instrumentals and psalms sung by herself. She has such an elegant, perfect voice and my family was so delighted on how she sang everything during the catholic mass. Maura and I worked together to add a harpist, organist, and violinist to accompany her singing. They all worked together so perfectly and everything sounded so beautiful, and in sync at the ceremony because of Mauras amazing talent and the musicians she works with. Maura is very professional and super prompt with email and phone responses. My wedding ceremony was perfect musically from beginning to end because of Mauras dedication, adaptability, diligence, and being perfect at her craft. She exceeded all my expectations and gave me beyond what I was looking for for a great price. I would highly recommend Maura & Co for any of your music needs for weddings and special events. If I could give her more than five stars I would!

2016-10-14I highly recommend Maura! She (and her musicians) were absolutely wonderful to work with! We had a trio play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was the perfect personal touch. I had a family friend sing during the ceremony as well and Maura was so accommodating in working with him to develop an abridged version of the original and her musicians and my signer met before the ceremony to practice. The ceremony and cocktail hour were lovely and felt so personal thanks to Maura!
