Weddings

Wedding ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour piano solo music. Ceremonies - I develop the program with the wedding couple and review the music with you in my studio. I use the Wedding Menu below. This helps you decide what music you want by listening to recordings of me playing. If you also need me to be there for your wedding rehearsal...no problem. For references, please read my reviews at the bottom this page.

If you want a piano/cello duo for ceremonies or cocktail hour I play professionally with a cellist -->samples of piano/cello duo.

For cocktail hours I recommend the Tom Robinson Trio --> samples of Jazz Trio for cocktail hours or reception

The Wedding Menu

There are many different types of ceremonies. I illustrate some below. Most importantly I can learn and play any music - so if you have any questions, just email me and we can discuss how you want your ceremony to work. I have provided links on many of the pieces below so that you can hear a short sample of the music. These are actual recordings of me playing on the equipment that I use for your ceremony. Unless there is a good, well-tuned piano on site - I always bring my own equipment - so don't worry if there is no piano on site

All standard Ceremonies (Prelude, Processional, Recessional, Postude) are $150; this includes travel, set up, tear down. If you need me to learn new music, there will be a minimal extra charge.
