Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL

Why live music for the ceremony?  Live music will add that touch from the heart that a CD cannot. The music will not fade in and out.  Live music can compensate for many of the unexpected things that occur during a ceremony.

Can you play outdoors?  Yes. That is a specialty of mine. The violin and flute have exceptional acoustics for the outdoor events.

What needs do you have for the location?  All I need are a couple of chairs.

How will you dress? I enjoy coordinating with the colors of your wedding and have many dresses/gowns to choose from.

WEDDINGS

How much music do I need?  I take care of providing all the music you will need to cover the time guests are being seated until they have left the ceremony site.

How do I choose all of the music? I will have a meeting with you where we go step by step through the entire ceremony plugging in the selections you choose. This way the ceremony includes music that is special to you as a couple.

Do we have to time our ceremony so the music fits? No. That's my job. I keep an eye on each group as they enter and time the music appropriately.

When do we need to decide on our music?  You will need the song selections in time to get your program printed. I recommend getting together
about a month before the wedding. Some do so sooner.

PLANNING OUR EVENT

How soon should I book you? Popular dates book quickly and should be reserved well in advance. Many couples typically book 6 months in advance.  If I am available, I can also help brides with last minute bookings.

What combinations do you offer?  I offer violin alone or with the guitar, flute or piano. When we speak about your event, I can help you decide what instrumentation may work best for you. A strolling violin works well for the cocktail hour.

Will I need you at rehearsal? No. The meeting I have with you serves as my rehearsal.  After we meet, I know what is expected of me. All I need the day of the wedding is a signal to end prelude and begin the ceremony.
