THE PERFECT SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR LOVE STORY
Live acoustic guitar for ceremonies, cocktail hour, and reception.
Your wedding day deserves music that feels as
personal and timeless as the love it celebrates.
Every detail matters. The atmosphere, the emotion, the way each moment flows into the next. As a guitarist who grew up with a dream of being a wedding musician, I bring fifteen years of experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to create a flawless celebration.
As a Hudson Valley wedding ceremony guitarist specializing in classical, acoustic, and Spanish guitar, I provide live music for weddings throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I take the time to understand your story, vision, and the atmosphere you want to create. From processional to cocktail hour ambience, every note is shaped around you.
Personalize your journey below. Not sure where to start? I’ll guide you every step of the way.
WEDDING CEREMONY MUSIC
A PERFECT START
Each moment of your ceremony is scored with music chosen specifically for meaning, emotion, and timing.
-
A selection of heartwarming welcoming music as guests arrive to the ceremony area.
-
Carefully selected, meaningful musical selections on cue to match the procession of the officiant, wedding party, families, ring bearer, flower girl and other special guests.
-
The moment we’ve all been waiting for, a special selection is performed as guests stand to welcome our stunning bride (or groom) for their magical walk down the aisle.
-
Special selections may be chosen for designated sections or transitions during the ceremony such as a candle lighting or passing of a sacred object.
-
A triumphant celebratory song immediately following the official pronouncement of marriage is performed.
-
To help kick off the post-ceremony festivities, additional mood-setting selections may be performed following the recessional as guests exit the ceremony area.
-
In addition to a cutting edge line-array speaker system, professional grade wireless microphones may be added to support the speaking elements of the ceremony, including officiant, vows and readings.

Cocktail Hour Music

Immediately following your ceremony, as your guests gather to mingle, toast to your happiness, and enjoy delicious appetizers, the ambiance sets the tone for the rest of your celebration. This is the perfect moment to enhance the atmosphere with elegant, engaging live music that invites relaxation and conversation while keeping the energy light and joyful.

Reception Entertainment
Whether you’d like a fully live soundtrack or a blend of live and recorded music, I’ll work with you to shape a musical experience that reflects your style and vision. In addition to playing guitar, I can also MC including welcoming guests, introducing special moments like entrances, first dances, or toasts so everything flows naturally and feels seamless for you and your guests.
