Joan Lenahan-Bernard of Take a Bow Music provided a terrific set of night-themed compositions that she put together and made for a lovely evening for our museum event - The Art of Night. She was pleasant, professional and easy to work with. I will look to her again for future programs. Highly recommended.

What to expect
I will work with you to capture the mood you want for your event. I can tailor my playlist for your wedding and move to cocktail hour and/or dinner.
I can provide my own stand and light. I request a chair is available for me. For outdoor venues, I will request cover from direct sunlight and rain.
For weddings, the standard is 15 to 30 minutes of prelude, ceremony and 10-15 postlude as guests move from the ceremony area.
For events that are more than 1 hour, I will take a 10-15 break each hour, then resume playing until the contracted end time.
About
I am sought after to play weddings, parties, and special services such as Christmas and Easter. I can play a range of styles and special requests. I can play solo or with several players I rehearse with on a regular basis.
I have played in orchestras across the country. I had my own string quartet and string studio.
Additional booking notes
For outdoor venues, I will have cover from direct sun, rain and high winds.
I will need a chair for the venue if it is longer than 30 minutes.
