Weddings, Parties, & Special Events

All beautiful, elegant, special events, wedding ceremonies and receptions will have “live” music; music sets the tone for your day and your guests will notice. After all, a celebration without music is only a meeting. J

As a professional pianist and wedding musician for over 22 years, I have been a significant part of hundreds of celebrations that included “behind the scenes” negotiations, phone discussions, music selections, rehearsals, etc. and I’d like to share suggestions in how to ensure that your special day be memorable, beautiful, and special.  Go to my resources page for a step-by-step guide to choosing your wedding music and musician(s).

I have a full repertoire of wedding music including traditional favorites as well as a variety of contemporary, country, new age and some unknown 'gems' that I have discovered. 

I will guide you in selecting the perfect music for your day and will work with you on deciding how the music will unfold with each aspect of the ceremony, event, or celebration.

I can provide piano music for your entire day, from refined classical selections to jazz and popular selections with smooth musical transitions.

A typical evening's music may contain a mixture of:

• Cocktail jazz/swing standards (George and Ira Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Cole Porter, Harry Connick)
• Classical (Mozart, Debussy, Chopin, Vivaldi, Rachmaninoff)
• Popular pop/soft rock selections 50's to present (Bruce Hornsby, Beatles, Paul Simon, Sting, Elton John)
• International Music (Jobim, Edith Piaf)
• Light contemporary jazz (Norah Jones, David Benoit, Larry Carlton)
• Film music and show tunes ("Theme from Somewhere in Time", selections from "Phantom of the Opera")

Whether performing Beethoven's exquisite "Moonlight Sonata", the sophisticated, romantic, "Unforgettable", or favorite selections of Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, and Duke Ellington, music is designed for your successful event. Looking for a jazzy, fun cocktail hour? Quiet ambience for an elegant or romantic dinner reception? Music conducive to conversation? Have a request? Look no further.  I look forward to making your event an exceptional event!
