My core principal is to make you and your guests happy. We're not playing for our ego. We're playing to fulfill your vision of a wonderful event. If you want the music slower, we do it. If you want it louder or softer, we do it. If you have special formats or requests, we do it.

Weddings
Music must be compatible with you, the guests and the venue. It is the paste holding your event together. It allows one segment to flow to the next. It gets people in the mood for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

Pre-Ceremony
Your guests are entering the Chapel, Temple or ceremony site. They're talking and sharing news and renewing acquaintences. Consider subtle, quality background music like a keyboard, strings, guitar, your preference.

The Ceremony
Let your spirit fly! Do what moves you! Imagine live music on the beach with crashing surf; or on a deck with trees, water and a glowing sun for a backdrop. Consider a keyboard with many sounds including organ, or real classical strings, or a harp, or guitar. There's no limit.

The Cocktail Hour
Your guests are chatting, laughing, renewing old acquaintances, catching up on family news. They're communicating. Consider having simple, sophisticated Background music that fills in the voids, doesn't compete, relaxes people and prepares them for the Reception. Consider a piano or keyboard playing the Great American Songbook including Sinatra, Beatles, Billy Joel, Bocelli, show tunes, etc. Other possibilities are a jazz combo, strings, harp, guitar and more.
