  • Seamless language transitions within single performances

  • Experience with both religious and secular ceremonies

The perfect vibe for every occasion

Wedding Ceremony

Wedding music sets the stage for your most unforgettable moments. Like a movie soundtrack, the right music creates an emotional atmosphere that pulls at the heartstrings of everyone in the room. I’ve had parents and guests wiping away tears before the ceremony even begins, simply because of the powerful mood the music evokes.

For a truly unique touch, I’ll craft an instrumental version of your favorite song, giving you and your partner a one-of-a-kind aisle moment. Walk down the aisle to music that no one has ever heard before—just for you.

Cocktail Hour

The celebration begins the moment you say “I do.” As the champagne flows and conversations spark, live music takes the experience to the next level.

Your guests will be captivated by a performance that blends rhythmic guitar, smooth vocals, and a dynamic mix of pop, jazz, R&B, and international favorites. Spanish classics? Korean ballads? Acoustic twists on chart-topping hits? I bring a sophisticated yet energetic vibe that makes your cocktail hour feel like an intimate concert.

Reception

Live music during dinner creates an air of refinement, romance, and intimacy. But what if the music could be more than background ambiance?

I offer a completely personalized musical experience, including a custom song composed just for you—based on your love story, inside jokes, and special moments. Imagine hearing your own love song for the first time, performed live at your wedding and memorialized in a professional recording you’ll cherish forever.

Your wedding music should be as exclusive and unforgettable as your love.
