I provide ceremony, prelude (pre-ceremony), and cocktail hour services for any type of wedding!

Solo, acoustic, or even trio (jazz trio, if you’re really keen!) are all available.
Check out the “Tennessee Wedding Music Packages” section below to learn more! -
We’ll first schedule a free 15-minute phone call to explore your hopes & goals for your music, and make sure I’m your perfect fit!
If you decide to work with me, I’ll send you a contract & fee estimate within 24-hours of our call to sign and hold your date. A 50% deposit is required to confirm!
You’ll receive a specially curated document to complete that gives you an overview of a typical ceremony music program and a guide on curating yours, as well as space to add your 3 special song requests (yes, I’ll learn ones that aren’t already. in my repertoire, just for you!)
30 days before your event, the remaining 50% fee for services is due & I’ll check-in to ensure any changes - musically or otherwise - are known!
Then, it’s off to the races for your Tennessee wedding music event!

This is unique to your event! For a religious ceremony, it is common for music to soundtrack many moments of your event - such as prayers, interludes between readings, and so forth. For a shorter or non-religious ceremony, you may wish to streamline the music to an entrance song and exit song - but, again, there are many options!
Book a free discovery call with me so we can discuss the best fit for your Tennessee wedding. :) -
It would be my honor to perform a custom song for your Tennessee wedding ceremony! I’ve been fortunate to do this for many a couple, and happy to curate a performance that matches your original song’s vision. Book a call with me to learn more!
-
Nashville has no shortage of incredible event spaces! Because your vision for your wedding is unique to you, I recommend considering guest count, event vibe, and budget before researching Tennessee wedding venues - this helps you really drill down specifics and prepare to reach out to various space coordinators!
From there, I recommend using directories like The Knot & Zola to filter to your preferences. And then, once you pick your date and venue, reach out to me to book your music! :)
