Wonderful from start to finish!

Jennifer was so open and communicative with us for our ceremony, learning songs, finding arrangements, really being the perfect partner. She played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and all her choices were wonderful!

What to expect

"She drove all the way from Portland, set up and played with no help from me (which was a life saver in wedding chaos), played exactly how we discussed, and even learned and arranged a song that was originally for piano for me to walk down the aisle to. She took cues from the ceremony, and it was the perfect touch to the short but sweet event." (Hannah T., wedding client)

Set list

With a versatile repertoire, I aim to create a memorable and enchanting atmosphere that perfectly suits your occasion. My set list includes a blend of timeless classical masterpieces, including Handel's Water Music, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Bach's Air and Arioso, and Schubert's Ave Maria, and many more. I also specialize in popular and contemporary music by artists such as Beyoncé, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Sleeping At Last, and others. This diverse selection allows me to cater to a wide range of musical tastes, ensuring that every guest experiences a memorable performance.

I'm also delighted to accommodate specific song requests that may not be currently listed in my set list. If there's a particular piece you have in mind, I'll do my best to find an arrangement online to make your vision a reality!
