I have over 10 years of professional experience playing clubs, cafes, private parties, weddings, and business meetings. Regardless of the setting, music makes everything better. The consistent compliment I get is that I have “something for everyone.” My typical song list draws from Bach, Spanish Romantic era composers, the Beatles, Neil Young, jazz standards, Bossa Novas, and some of my own originals. But no “Freebird”!
Ranging from intimate, scenic, Northwest outdoor gatherings of less than ten people, to more elaborate ceremonies with a Gothic cathedral, I have done the full spectrum of wedding varieties. What I have found is that people seeking me to play their wedding usually fit neatly into two categories: those that know EXACTLY what they want, and those that have absolutely NO IDEA! I am glad to work first hand with the bride and groom to discuss and suggest possible music selections. I have a vast repertoire of traditional wedding songs, as well as more modern pop, folk, and jazz tunes. I also welcome any request granted I have enough time to learn, or prepare my own arrangement. Any professional wedding planner will tell you experience counts. I have done enough ceremonies over the years to know what questions to ask ahead of time, ensuring things run smoothly. But some might still feel better if I came to the rehearsal. I am glad to do so for a small fee. I want those that hire me for one of the most memorable moments in their life to rest easy. I come with solid references, professional equipment, proper attire, the experience, and the skills to set the perfect mood for your special occasion. My usual wedding package consists of playing up to 30 minutes prior to the ceremony, the ceremony itself (consisting of up to 4 requested songs), and another 20 minutes following as people disperse. Please contact me at least a few months ahead of time, as my schedule gets pretty full during the spring and summer months. I hope to work with you soon.
