Your love story is beautiful.
Let me help you celebrate.

WHY CHOOSE LIVE MUSIC?
Live music transforms a wedding from a beautiful day into an unforgettable celebration. From the moment guests arrive through the last dance, it adds a unique energy and a personal touch to every moment. With an experienced performer who knows how to read the room, adjust in real time, and keep the party going, live music can turn your special day into a memory you and your guests will cherish forever.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING WITH ME
Have a special song you would love to hear? I would love to learn it. One song in particular that you just can't stand? We will make sure to knock that off the list. It is your day - I work closely with each couple to choose the perfect songs, handle all sound equipment needs, and ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.
​
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels warm, genuine, and full of great music, I would love to help make that happen.
​
When we connect, I will ask for the big picture details, like when and where, to make sure that I am available for your big day. After that, I will work with you to set up a time to talk over the phone to plan all the smaller details. I am excited to work with you throughout the entire process - from the moment we say hello to the moment you say I do. ​
