Paul and Kerena performed at both our ceremony and reception cocktail hour and they were a pleasure to work with. I asked them to learn a specific song (and sing it also) for my processional and they did so beautifully. They were responsive and easy to work with and we really enjoyed having them be part of of our wedding. I would definitely recommend them!

We were so pleased with Paul and Karena. They took the time to learn some songs that had special meaning to the Bride and Groom and performed them flawlessly. Our guests were amazed at how beautiful all of the music was.

Paul and Kerena were absolutely fantastic. They were very open to our choice of songs and even suggested some that fit within the theme we were going for. They were responsive to emails and a pleasure to work with. Most of all, their performance was gorgeous. My guests were blown away and I was moved to tears. I would absolutely recommend The Moeller Cello and Guitar Duo to anyone getting married in the Chicagoland area. If I had it to do all over again, I would hire them to play both the ceremony and the cocktail hour!

They were awsome. I sent music from our church 3 weeks prior for the ceremony and it was beautiful. They needed no instructions. We showed up and they were there performing. They created the atmosphere.

Without question, one of the best decisions that I made in planning my wedding was selecting Paul & Kerena Moeller to perform at my ceremony. The combination of the classical guitar and cello was absolutely breathtaking. Their music added such a romantic and emotional element to our ceremony. We have received too many compliments about them to count. I could not be more grateful.

I was married on September 4th and they graciously agreed to play for my outdoor ceremony. Needless to say, I was absolutely blown away. I am so grateful for their flexibility and dealing with my horrible absent mindedness. I was so busy with everything that I forgot to make a playlist for my ceremony. Paul and Kerena were more than helpful and took care of the music choices for me that very day. I was not disappointed at all. I will definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a perfect addition to their wedding!! Thank you so very much!

We hired Paul and Kerena to perform our ceremony and cocktail hour music.

Before the wedding the two were very responsive within 24 hours of emailing any questions we had. They both were helpful in picking out music selections that would coordinate with the type of wedding we were having: classic, formal, and a bit of a modern twist.

They were phenomenal, I couldn’t believe that it was my own wedding I was hearing such astounding classical music. The classical music tied in with our venue at The Armour House. Everything was on point, they arrived prompt before the ceremony and played each musical request we selected at the correct given point during the ceremony. The unity portion of the ceremony was transitioned very well from start to finish. The sound system they used is clear and was excellent for our outdoor ceremony.

I would advise if you can pay the extra have them continue to play during your cocktail hour. It is worth it. Our guests gave us many compliments in regards to Paul and Kerena.
Just another happy bride!

The music was really beautiful!! I could not imagine my wedding ceremony without it!!! Highly recommended.

Paul and Kerena performed at my wedding ceremony on 7/23/11 and they were absolutely wonderful! The combination of acoustic guitar and cello was simply beautiful. So many guests commented on how great their music was. I highly recommend them!

Just beautiful! We loved their more unique sound- still a strings sound, but not a traditional string quartet. They have a lot of songs available to hear on their website of them playing, and will also assist you in choosing which songs to play.Their music was just as beautiful in person on our wedding day, and we got great comments from our guests. I would definitely recommend Paul and Karena!! They play beautiful music, for sure!!

Paul & Kerena are phenomenal musicians and really great to work with.

Their repertoire is extensive. I was trying to avoid the overdone ceremony standards, such as Pachelbel's Cannon and Wagner's "Bridal Chorus." Their seating music was a combo of jazz, pop, and showtunes (which I can't wait to watch the wedding video, I'm sad I missed it due to being in the 'green room'). They played Leonard Cohen and Beatles for our processionals, and took the time to learn "Do You Realize?" by the Flaming Lips for our recessional, at no additional cost.

They are also very nice people. During some post-ceremony photos, they took the time to say how beautiful the ceremony was.

They are amazing musicians at a great value, and play music for all tastes.

Paul and Kerena performed beautifully at our outdoor wedding ceremony. The cello and guitar combination was exactly what we were looking for...casual and romantic, but not overly so. We selected " I can't help falling in love," and "what a wonderful world," for our processional, and "here comes the sun" for the bridal entrance and recessional. Thanks to Paul and Kerena, everything flowed wonderfully. Here comes the sun still. Rings tears to my eyes. It's one of my favorite memories of that day!

Paul and Kerena were fantastic. They made our daughter's wedding even more special by listening to all of our requests. Their music was beautiful and they were warm and professional at the same time. Thank you, Paul and Kerena! Mary and Bill Simmons

Paul and Karena were absolutely wonderful! They played at our ceremony and then outside for our cocktail hour. They were so helpful in picking the music and flexible with the times. The most wonderful thing about them, however, was the incredibly beautiful music that they played. Walking down the aisle to them playing Ave Maria is something that I will never forget. The coupling of the guitar and cello was astounding. We had SO many guests complimenting them through and after the ceremony. I am so happy that they were able to play for us...their service really made our day such a dream come true!

Our wedding coordinator recommended Paul and Kerena and I am so glad I took her advise. As soon as I heard the music on the website I knew that they would be perfect to play at our wedding. The guitar and cello together is beautiful! We had them play at the ceremony and the cocktail hour. They were wonderful!! I got many compliments on how beautiful they played and the wonderful music they selected. They were so easy to work with from the very start. I would definitely recommend the Duo for any special event. They defiantly made our wedding extra special!!

We hired the Moeller Cello & Guitar Duo for our June 2011 wedding after hearing their samples on their website and falling in love with their sound. We only needed them for the ceremony, but I wished we had hired them for the cocktail hour as well because we got so many compliments on how beautiful the music was during the prelude and of course we didn't get to hear it! What we did get to here (the processional, lighting of the unity candle and recessional) was so beautiful and we were so happy that they were our choice. We communicated with them entirely through email and that was enough...they did exactly what we wanted and everything went perfectly. I would definitely reccomend the Duo for any special event, but especially for a wedding were you want that extra special touch to your ceremony or reception.

The Moeller's were so great to work with and their music is so beautiful.
They played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and we have gotten so many compliments from our friends and family. We loved working with Paul and Karena and would recommend them to anyone looking for live ceremony music.

Absolutely beautiful & total professionals. They played the music for our ceremony and even sang one song during it. Then they also played the music for our cocktail hour. They were perfect and many people have commented on how lovely the music was.

Moeller music performed for both my ceremony and cocktail hours. They were very easy to work with and professional throughout the planning process. MANY complements were directed towards them from the music lovers at my wedding! I would highly recommend working with this wonderful duo!

Paul & Kerena performed for our ceremony and cocktail hour, they were incredible!!!!!!! Actually, that's an understatement! From the first time I heard their samples on their website I knew they had to be the ones that played the song when I walked down the aisle. The moments that their music creates is beautiful! I cannot express in words how thankful we were to have them give us that different kind of emotion truly needed on a wedding day. The cocktail hour was outstanding... everyone loved them and we couldn't have received anymore compliments about their performance. These compliments are coming from a family full of musicians! They truly outdid themselves, and made our day that much more amazing! I would not hesitate at all to recommend them for any occasion! Great job you guys! Hope to have another event so I can hear your wonderful music again!!!!!! : )

I definitely recommend Moeller Music!! They provided the music for our wedding ceremony, and I coudn't have been happier with their service. The music was absolutely beautiful, and we received many compliments from our guests. They were also easy to deal with, professional, and reliable.

Thanks so much to Paul & Kerena for making our ceremony special!

Paul and Karena are amazing. They were the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony. They were very flexible with song selections and working with me to get exactly what I envisioned. We were able to blend the Church music with more modern day music for the mass ceremony. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event. We received so many compliments about the music. I wished I had booked them for our cocktail hour.

Paul and Kerena are AMAZING! They are phenomenal musicians, very professional and accomodating and made my ceremony absolutely perfect. I received compliments from almost every guest in attendance at how beautiful they played and how wonderful the music selections were. I would recommend them to anyone. They made my ceremony better than I could have imagined!

I cannot thank these two enough for all that they added to our big day!

We had an outdoor wedding, and their music added such an element of romance and elegance.
They are great to work with, offer a long list of songs they can play, and their musical abilities are spot on.
I highly suggest these two for your wedding!!

It is with great pleasure to recommend Paul & Kerena. They are consummate professionals and a delight to work with. It truly was an honor to have them a part of our special day - Paul & Kerena were a classy, elegant addition to our wedding.

Their repertoire is extensive - from classical to classics, Beethoven to Broadway, Paul & Kerena seamlessly blended all our requests. Their rendition of the "The Wedding Song" was simply beautiful...if you are a Beatles fan request "Hey Jude." Our guests continue to sing their praises, as do we.

Our sincerest Thank You to Paul & Kerena for providing such exceptional service.

Our wedding simply would not have been the same without Paul and Kerena. We found them online and enjoyed listening to their music on their website throughout the entire ceremony planning process. Our officiant, who had worked with them many times before, positively beamed when we told him that we had hired them for the wedding. And when we told our guests that we had hired a "guitar-cello duo" for the ceremony, they all responded, "Oh, that sounds lovely." It was. Their music was so beautiful that at one point during a pause in the ceremony while they were playing, I looked at my groom and whispered "They are so good!" In addition to their musical talents, Paul and Kerena were a true pleasure to work with. They helped us feel confident in the music selections that we had made and were always easy to contact. So many, MANY thanks, Paul & Kerena, for all you do! You made our day wonderful!!

Other than our cake tasting, this was our favorite appointment :) They played beautifully! We live out-of-state and they were fabulous with working with us via email. They helped us to design a custom wedding music program from processional to recessional. Also, they were so wonderful at adding in songs that weren't on their official list and fitting into the rhythm of the wedding (without needing any kind of run-through) which is especially important for us since our wedding party consisted of 26 adults and 10 kids - so we had no idea how long it would take people to get down the aisle. Plus, we heard from tons of people about how lovely the music was. My cousin asked for their info for her wedding!

We booked these two very last minute because I did not realize that our church "donation" did not come with a pianist. I was so thankful to find Paul and Karina, they had sound bytes on their site and they were an easy choice. They played beutifully together.

Paul and Kerena played amazing! I was able to give them a special sheet of music I wanted played while I walked down the aisle, and it was beautiful! They were very prompt at answering any questions I had and returned emails right away. My outdoor wedding was everything I dreamed and we are so happy we had Paul and Kerena play there. No regrets, loved them!

THANK YOU!! My son and daughter-in-law were going to just use the DJ for their ceremony music. I then found your website on the internet and thought what a wonderful gift your music would be. My daugher-in-law was so excited that you knew all of the songs that she choosen. We had so many complements from family and freinds on both sides regarding your performance. Thank you again for making their day a very memorable one.

Paul & Kerena were great! We were a bit nervous at first about not having met them in person (though that was an option, we just didn't have time), but with their excellent communication prior to the wedding and willingness to learn new songs to accommodate my requests, we were put at ease. And they did such a beautiful job with the songs for our ceremony! Great with timing, very watchful of when to start or slowly end songs, you can tell they are seasoned pros; the music was yet another aspect of the day that brought a tear or two to my eyes!
When many women talk about their wedding day, they say they've been picturing the dress, or the venue, or some other part of it, since they were little girls. Well when I was a little girl and dreamed of my wedding, I thought about the music - Paul & Kerena helped make the ceremony as lovely as I'd hoped it could be.

Thanks!

Paul and Kerena played beautifully at my wedding. I am so glad we found them. Many of our guests commented on how well they played. Paul and Kerena were very easy to get a hold of whether it was by email or phone and were very responsive to my inquires. They were very helpful when I needed suggestions on selecting songs for the ceremony. I had a very small wedding (just a maid of honor and best man) and some of the songs I selected were a little too long. They were able to adjust the length of these songs (and still kept them sounding beautiful) so that there were no awkward moments in the ceremony. I highly recommend them.

Paul and Kerena were the perfect choice for our wedding reception in the Hancock Building! My husband and I were thrilled to find that they were available to perform during the cocktail and dinner hours of our reception, considering their impressive resumes and enthusiastic word of mouth recommendations. They were extremely friendly and responsive in their e-mails, which made it very easy to work out the logistics for the evening. My husband and I were looking for musicians who would bring elegance and class to our wedding reception, and the beautiful music of Paul and Kerena Moeller accomplished that perfectly.

Paul and Kerena's music was perfect for our wedding - when they say they can play anything, they mean it! Our family and friends had so many nice things to say about their music. They are professional and were very helpful when we needed a little direction for a few of the songs, too. I had thought when we first started planning that we should hire a music student or maybe have recorded ceremony music - and I am SO GLAD we decided to go with Kerena and Paul. They're the best. Thank you!

Hiring the Moeller Cello and Guitar Duo was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. They were responsive, professional and there music performance was flawless. I was so happy to have chosen them to play the music at my ceremony.

Perfect. We absolutely loved Karena and Paul and would recommend them to anyone. They're very talented and diverse in their musical knowledge.

Our wedding was whimsical and funny, so during our ceremony they played some Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Dean Martin and even Africa by Toto after our kiss.

Everyone was so excited about them and told us they were the perfect touch... making them feel relaxed and happy. During our ring warming ceremony, they filled in the silence so the air wasn't so still and it really made the ritual feel surreal and wonderful.

I highly, highly recommend these two. :)

Perfect music, affordable prices.

Paul and Kerena did a wonderful job performing at our wedding. They learned a song specifically for us and it turned out better than we could have hoped, and the other songs were beautiful too. We have received several compliments from friends and family about the great choice we made, and we completely agree! We would recommend The Moeller Duo to anyone looking for exceptional music for their wedding.

I just recently had my wedding and was luck enough to have Paul and Kerena play music for my ceremony and cocktail hour. Before going into the beauty of their music, I wanted to comment on their level of professionalism. They kept in contact, answered any questions I had, had wonderful communication, and showed up in a timely manner. Before I even walked down the isle the coordinator at my venue came up to me and asked me who they were..she thought the guitar and cello duo was so beautiful she wanted information to add them to her vendor reccomendation list that she distributes to brides. The music was beautiful, we got SO many compliments from the guests. One even was wondering where he could purchase a cd. It is a unique sound that is simply beautiful. I would give them an A+..you are truly a lucky bride to have this couple play at your wedding. Thank you Moeller's for making our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour wonderful!

I loved there music so much.....my whole family loved them ...it was very romantic and they were on top of it all....great people to work with and it was everything i had hoped for on my wedding day ......thank you so much Paul and Kerena .......Aaron and I Loved every minute of it.....thanks again

My husband and I were so pleased with our ceremony and cocktail hour music provided by Paul and Kerena. They are two of the most amazing musicians. Our wedding guests could not stop raving about them. I would recommend Paul and Kerena to every bride. I am looking forward to watching the video again just so I can hear the beautiful music. Thank you for making our day truly memorable!

We had been undecided about ceremony/reception music up until 3 months before the wedding, which is when we contacted Paul and Kerena Moeller. They played for our ceremony and cocktail hour at the reception site and they were fantastic!! We listened to about 3 of their examples on their website before sending an email immediately. They were so easy to communicate with, and very flexible throughout all of the planning. They were great about the special musical requests we made, and their musical abilities were so beautiful that our grandmothers were brought to tears! We received so many compliments from our guests that we made sure to give out their website information. In terms of cost, this was worth every penny and definitely a key highlight of the day. They are 100% professional musicians and as we look back, we cant imagine the day without them. If you are considering The Moeller Cello and Guitar Duo, please listen to their song examples on their website to get a feel for how much talent they have, but keep in mind it sounds even better in person. We highly recommend them!!

The Moeller's demonstrated the utmost in professionalism and quality. I asked the Moeller's to provide the music at our dessert reception at Naper Settlement. The Moeller's were available to meet prior to the wedding to go over the music to play and timeline of the reception. They were easy to get ahold of, wonderful to work with, and amazing to listen to. Some of our guests didn't realize there were live musicians and thought the music was piped in it sounded so beautiful. The moment I heard the Moeller's music, I knew I wanted them to be a part of my wedding day. They have versatility in their music genres from classical to blues to pop. Our reception was in a small area at Naper Settlement, and the music was loud enough to fill the rooms yet soft enough to not overpower conversations. I consider their music one of my favorite parts of the wedding. I thank them for sharing their gifts and talents with me, my husband, and our families - it was perfect!

I found Moeller Music on wedding wire and contacted them after I looked into their website. They were the only instrumental duet that I could find that interested me, since all there seems to be available is a quartet. The reviews that I read from their website along with the visual and acoustic samples of their highly talented performances gave me high hopes that they would be available for my wedding date. Paul and Kerena responded to my questions and concerns with professional sincerity that sealed the deal. As a wedding vendor myself, and all the experiences I've had with other wedding industry vendors, there was no doubt in my mind of their professionalism. Their website was very easy for us to use and to pick out music and no meeting with them was required. All of my guests raved about them and the day would not have been as memorable without their profound performance. They are highly experienced and were able to harmonize with any last minute changes in the ceremony with no practice necessary, yet making it all look rehearsed. The ceremony music was very important to us and they exceeded our expectations. I can not say enough about Paul and Kerena Moeller and I highly recommend them for their musical performance at your event. Our experience with them was nothing but great and we only have wonderful things to say about them!

They were always quick to respond to my e-mails. We recieved many many compliments about them. Though I didn't really get a chance to hear or see them, they were very well recieved and what I did here was beautiful.

Paul and Kerena's music was beautiful--I wished I remembered it more since I was in a blurr with all the other activites going on. Everyone complemented on the choice and the cello/guitar combo is unique but classic at the same time.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. The Cello and Classical Guitar combination is the most stunning sound. While looking through this website I saw the high ratings this couple received. I decided to check out their website, the music samples alone brought me to tears. I had an outdoor wedding and I feared that maybe their sound would not carry and would be too soft. I spoke with the couple and they assured me they do outdoor weddings and wouldn't have any issues. On our wedding day, they were perfect. They sounded wonderful. They are truely gifted and I'm honored they played at my wedding. Thank you!

We couldn't be happier with having Paul & Korena Moeller play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Our trolley driver kept getting lost and everybody was late to the church, but Paul and Korena were thankfully there early to play as our guests arrived. Paul and Korena not only sounded beautiful at both venues, but provided grace and elegance to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The Moeller Duo really made our day special and memorable, and we are still getting complements as to how great they both were!

Moeller Music was amazing! Paul was great to work with – quick response to my emails and very helpful when it came to picking out music. They accompanied our soloist who said that they were very personable and nice.
I just wish I had been able to hear all the prelude music, but the music I got to hear was absolutely beautiful – I would highly recommend them!

We were very pleased with the Moeller Duo. They have a wide repertoire and perform beautifully.

Paul and Kerena did a fantastic job at our wedding. We hired them to perform music during our ceremony (although they also can perform during cocktail hours). They arrived early just as they'd said. They were very accomodating to our requests and allowed us to choose all of our music. They were flexible even to my husband's last minute request that we change a song. They knew when to start and stop, how fast to play, and we didn't have to worry about them at all. They were very professional and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone. We loved that they offered a unique option rather than the typical string quartet. They are quick to respond to emails, which is extremely important to me. Very reliable, talented, friendly people.

Paul and Kerena are a beautiful couple and are so talented. They are also ultra friendly and accommodating. They learned two songs just for us, and even allowed us to come to their house to hear them play before the wedding. My only regret was that I didn't get to hear them play more than I did, and don't have a recording of their performance. It was really, really great.

I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for someone who can deliver beautiful, classic harp music as well as more modern, recognizable songs.The beauty of her music ability was appreciated by all at our small, intimate wedding ceremony.We loved her!

They played our ceremony music. We had an outdoor wedding and we wanted more contemporary music made beautiful- they are a cello/guitar duo. For processional songs we chose “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “Time After Time” and “I’ll Stand by You” and they came off wonderful. We also had a major shuttle delay which delayed our ceremony and put them into overtime. They were very gracious and never said a word. After the fact, I contacted them and they only charged us minimally. We got lots of compliments- highly recommended. www.moellermusic.com.

Paul and Kerena provided beautiful cello and acoustic guitar music for our ceremony. They sent me a sample CD of popular songs they could play, most of which I included in my ceremony. They know all the classics, as well as some fun ones by other "modern" artists like the Beatles.

I honestly didn't hear them at all on the wedding day since I was paying more attention to walking down the aisle as they were performing. I'm really looking forward to the video so I can hear more of their beautiful music!

Paul always responded to my emails, although it would be a few days between messages. I sent them a song list before the wedding and they did exactly what was expected!

while i would like to give the duo 5 stars, given their great attentiveness pre-wedding, flexibility in adapting popular songs to the format, and the quality of their music, i have to mark them down in professionalism, as they were late to our ceremony, meaning we did not have pre-ceremony music as planned, and they left before we even had a chance to say thank you. it was disappointing. however, the music itself was beautiful.
