Planning Your Event
I offer a large selection of music from many different styles, including light classical, folk, Celtic, sacred, popular, Broadway, movies, Disney, Beatles, etc. I would love to help guide you as you plan your ceremony music or reception. I have an extensive repertoire and I’m also able to take your special requests if the music is available ahead of time.
