Overview
Hey! I’m Emery Major, a professional singer, guitarist, and songwriter based in NYC.

October 4, 2026An incredibly talented guitarist
Emery was absolutely amazing. He played songs everyone knows but put his own twist on them, which kept the whole night fun and fresh. His playing made our night perfect. He read the room, kept the energy up, and gave us a great mix of background music and songs everyone could sing along to. Professional, easy to work with, and an incredible musician.

September 23, 2026The Perfect Soundtrack
Emery provided the absolutely perfect soundtrack to our wedding day. He was incredibly accommodating and organized in the days leading up, and was able to provide insight on wedding ceremonies (as this was our first one lol) and how we might want to structure the musical elements. We felt incredibly safe in his hands and our guests truly could not stop talking about how talented he is. The setlist was perfect, the execution unreal, and his professionalism was off the charts. Emery is without a doubt, the perfect addition to any event!

September 17, 2026Emery is amazing!!!
Emery was both our officiant AND musician for our wedding ceremony and he was incredible!! He was one of the best decisions we made for our day. He played his guitar the entire time (yes even as he officiated!) which made our ceremony so much more special and intimate. We had several guests tell us how much they enjoyed his music during our ceremony. I cannot recommend Emery enough, he is so talented and lovely to work with!!!
