September 18, 2026Ben provided the music for our wedding ceremony and was truly a joy to work with. He was professional, and gave suggestions where he felt applicable. He was able to skillfully transition through moments in the ceremony and improvise cleanly along with the timing. It was truly a huge addition to our event.

September 18, 2026That's the kind of guy Ben is. Someone who, even for a (mostly) stranger, would be willing to step up with Julia (his woodwind-playing cohort) and write arrangements, perform, and still be professional and joyful for an occasion like my wedding.
Ben is easy-going, but still a hard worker. He was easy to communicate with and was willing to share in the vision for my wedding. His arrangement for "La Vie an Rose" for my now wife was incredibly well-done, and his piano playing was perfect. Even hearing Ben and Julia practicing before the ceremony was calming for my nerves, knowing that I had made a good decision to choose them for the ceremony musicians.
Choose Ben, and you won't be disappointed!
