Simply incredible. Paul and Kerena were easy to work with from the start; they were willing to learn Welsh folk songs for our wedding, and didn't charge extra to learn it. We sent them the sheet music, and they did the rest. We had so many compliments on their performance, and now having seen our wedding video the processional music they played was incredibly moving.
Their price is $450 for one hour of ceremony music, and I can easily say that it was money well spent. -

Exquisite. We chose an assortment of contemporary music for our November wedding, including two songs that Paul and Karena learned at our request. They came to our rehearsal which helped me feel more confident and they were able to adjust things on the spot as a result.
And then....we forgot the money to pay them at our wedding!!!! Were they upset? Nope, they just asked that we send it when we could. Talk about classy and kind. I can't say enough nice things about them or their talent. Hire them now. -

Moeller Music performed a lovely repertoire of personally chosen, contemporary pieces at our October wedding ceremony. In the months leading up to our big weekend, any requests and questions we had were quickly addressed. On the day of the wedding, Paul & Kerena showed up right on time and got started with our list of prelude music.
My only piece of advice to brides-to-be: if you don't have a hired wedding coordinator, take a moment to connect with Paul & Kerena before the service starts (or send someone in your wedding party) to get on the same page about the start times of the processionals. I didn't have any hired help and in all the hustle and bustle leading up to getting married, I totally forgot what song I was supposed to walk out to. Since no one was there to tell me when to go, I just went! I ended up walking earlier than I should have and I keep replaying that mistake in my head!
Some of the wonderful arrangements they played included:
*I Will
*What a Wonderful World
*Chicago
*Blackbird
*Isn't She Lovely
*Forever and Ever Amen
*I Say a Little Prayer
*Can't Help Falling In Love
*Happy Together
*My Girl
*Someone to Watch Over Me
*The Book of Love
*Here, There & Everywhere
*God Only Knows
*You're Nobody 'Till Somebody Love You
*I've Had the Time of My Life
*Maybe I'm Amazed
*I'm a Believer
Other than my huge mistake, we were so happy with the service they provided. Since our wedding, guests have gushed about the fun elegance they added to the ceremony.Listed in: Nuptial Bliss

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!

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. -

Moeller Music provided the ceremony music for our December 11th wedding, and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for moving, beautiful music for their event.
We wanted secular but emotional music for our ceremony and made the right choice with Moeller Music . They went above and beyond to learn new songs for us to add to their already expansive repetoire, and our guests could not stop complimenting the unique aspect this provided our wedding ceremony. We ended up with a mix of contemporary rock (Smashing Pumpkins, The Police) and classic rock (The Beatles, John Hiatt) that made all the parts of our ceremony very "us."
The Moellers were extremely professional and easy to work with through the entire process. A few days before the wedding Kerena had to leave the country to visit a sick relative, and Paul found a replacement for her right away and was very professsional and reassuring about informing me - it was no problem at all and the music was absolutely beautiful! -

So beautiful - Paul and Kerena Moeller are a guitar and cello duo, and were just perfect for our outdoor wedding ceremony. They played a mix of current (Coldplay) and traditional (Pachelbel's Canon) songs, and were truly lovely. They have an extensive song list, but also had no problems with the personal requests I inquired about. Very reasonably priced and easy payment via PayPal!

Amazing! They provided the music for our outdoor wedding ceremony and they were perfect. We got so many compliments on the music (mix of classical and popular (e.g., Beatles; Jeff Buckley) They were flexible and reliable (and easy to work with since we live out-of-state). Highly recommend!!
