FAQ's
What's included in ceremony music service?
Music will begin up to an hour before your ceremony. From experience, early guests are likely to arrive 45 minutes before the ceremony. Treating them to live music is a beautiful way to welcome them and set the tone for your day. Also included in ceremony music is unlimited ceremony songs, expert guidance to make your experience personal, flawless and easy. Also, the option to request any song(s) in the world. After your ceremony, the music will continue playing during your recession and as guests exit. For wedding ceremonies, I typically play about 20 songs to give you and your guests a high class, emotive, unforgettable experience.
Booking process and price?
Lock in your date with a $200 deposit + signed agreement. The remaining amount will be due two weeks before your wedding. I make everything easy, and this includes reserving the whole date for you so that you can create your wedding day timeline without concern for my availability.

Do you provide a sound system?
Yes. A quality 2-speaker PA system, fit for weddings of all sizes and settings, including off-grid. You're welcome to use this system (and a microphone I'll provide) for your officiant and vows. And if you'll be having me for cocktail hour, I'll set up a separate PA system (beforehand) for a fast transition.
Have you performed at our venue?
I've played at most of the major wedding venues in New Mexico. I'm confident working in any venue or setting, and have all the equipment needed for weather or off-grid performances. You can see a list of venues I've performed for weddings here.
Planning process?
To supplement the enthusiastic, helpful support I'm known for, I've created a guide to eliminate guesswork on your end. Browse song suggestions for each ceremony moment, as you listen to YouTube recordings of the actual songs. You can't beat this method for helping me create the atmosphere and storyline you'll love!
