What to expect

With the 101 things you need to worry about for your wedding day, I make sure music is not one of them. I will meet with your months in advance of the wedding day, attend the rehearsal dinner, and be there for as long as I am needed on the Wedding Day!!

When we meet for the first time, we will discuss all the obvious aspects of music: processional(s), recessional, first dance, mother-son dance, father-daughter dance, etc... as well as the fine minutiae, aka the musical elements people most often forget about: song for the seating of the grandparents, prelude, background music for any special elements you may have in your ceremony, etc. No stone unturned!!

If you choose to work with me, you won't be disappointed. I cannot wait to connect with you!

About

Hi! Thank you for considering me for your special day!! My favorite part of being a wedding musician is my ability to anticipate the needs of the bride and groom day of.

You could say music is my life... and you wouldn't be wrong:

I am self-starting entrepreneur with 10 + years of experience in composing, music theory, performance, directing music, choral conducting, leading contemporary bands, and teaching private lessons. I have a self-published and self-produced album of music. I also have a comprehensive knowledge of classical, jazz, and pop music.

Additional booking notes

Nothing major required as I have most of my own equipment! What I need depends on what you want for your day! Don't worry, I can talk you through all of the fine details!

Set list

Oh anything you want... truly, anything. With two masters in music and as a New York musician, I can play it all :)

Setup requirements

Piano (I can provide an electronic one if no acoustic piano is available! Whatever you prefer!)
