Refined. Effortless. Unforgettable.
Elegant Cello Music for Weddings in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Beyond.
The easiest “yes” of your entire wedding plan
Looking for live music that feels intimate, elevated, and stress-free?
​
I’ve played for over 100 weddings since 2018 — from backyard ceremonies to luxury venues — and I’ve developed a planning approach that gives you full personalization without overwhelm.
From your very first message to the last note of your ceremony, you’ll feel guided, relaxed, and understood.​​
The Ceremony Experience
What you’ll get:
A powerful live cello performance that elevates your ceremony
​
A proven planning guide (it’s short, beautiful, and feels like a gift)
​
Personal song choices, or just a vibe you want me to follow
Additional cello requests available
​
Crystal-clear communication and a detailed agreement
​
Ceremony mic included (if needed)
Music Timeline:
I begin 45 minutes early, welcoming your guests with beautiful ambiance. I pause for key moments, then close with the recessional song (plus a few surprises, if the moment calls for it).
Reception Music Add-On
Want live music for cocktail hour? Dinner? My most popular add-on is a relaxed, joyful one hour set that bridges the ceremony and celebration. The schedule is flexible, and the energy always feels right.
$200/hour
You can decide before or after booking — no pressure.
​​
Ceremony Planning Made Easy
I’ll send you a short, elegant planning guide that gives you full control — while saving you from back-and-forth emails.
Your job? Just pick the songs (or genres) you love.
My job? Everything else.
Most couples simply send me their plan — no endless discussions, no micromanaging.
“Guide me to guide you.” That’s the idea. And it works beautifully.
Music For People Who Feel Something
I’m not the right fit for every wedding — and that’s okay.
I focus on delivering a personally meaningful experience to each couple, which sometimes includes creating a few songs by request.​
Couples who hire me tend to be excited about this unique music and trust my experience, creativity, and dedication.

"Ryan was amazing. Easy to work with, even from a state away. The music was so perfect, well-composed and well-played. He really made it special. He was worth every penny we spent and then some. I'll never forget walking down the aisle to the perfect song played live by this lovely artist."
