The Booking/Planning Process: During booking, we'll discuss relevant details and your musical preferences. If you're not sure where to start, I can provide recommendations for you to explore. I am also happy to more fully customize your event by learning favorite pieces/songs to play at your event!
The Performance: You can expect professional, engaging performances that will perfectly complement your special occasion!
Outdoor Event Requirements: Adequate protection from water (rain, drizzle, snow, etc.), direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures must be provided.
We'll work together to determine the musical selections for your event! A set lists will be curated based on your preferences, and the tone you'd like to set for your particular occasion.
I perform fully acoustically, so I don't have any power requirements. Other than that, I require one armless chair. I always bring my own music stand & any other gear I need for your service.
