Elegance...

​

Careful planning to choose songs for both the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour that "fit" with the occasion is the most important aspect.

Each song has been chosen specifically

to set a mood and to enhance this special day.

Experience...

​

Approaching 25 years of performing music in general, including weddings.

Time flies! I have done wedding ceremonies in Churches, on the beach, lakeside, backyards, halls, restaurants,and more venues then one can remember! With that experience comes a growing library of songs and

knowing how to work with the bride, groom, and wedding planner,

both before the big day AND the actual wedding day.

This alone is worth so much in my opinion.

Assurance...

​

With experience comes assurance that the music will beone less worry for you. Power is not a problem, as I have battery operated sound gear, as well as conventional sound equipment. Also - Punctuality is a must for the music. I arrive extra early, just in case of anything unforeseen.I use a simple contract when booking, so everyone has the exact dates, times, and any special instructions,

in writing,on that contract.

No surprises for either party.
