Your Wedding
- You may have a phone or email consultation to answer any questions.
- I’ll send you an information packet with a Wedding Sampler CD, a helpful worksheet and performance agreement. Several of the selections on the sampler have been added to the "Listen" page.
- A deposit is required to reserve the date and payment is due two weeks in advance of the event.
At a private wedding in Wakefield, RI.
- I arrive an hour before the ceremony.
- I begin playing Prelude music a half hour before the ceremony. This usually includes light Classical and Celtic music that’s joyful and appropriate for weddings. Listen to "Minuet d'Exaudet"
- I play music at appropriate times during the ceremony.
- Processional music is played for the entrance of the wedding party. This may include a separate piece for the seating of the parents and/or grandparents, a separate piece for attendants, and a processional. Listen to "Pachelbel's Canon"
At the Fall River Historical Society
- During the ceremony I may play for your candle lighting, sand pouring or meditation.
- If you are having a Catholic Mass, that may include about five separate, religious pieces at specific times during the Mass, there is a $50.00 surcharge. A Catholic Mass will also require a consultation with your celebrant or music director.
- If you request a short piece (1-2 pages of music) that I agree to compose or arrange and perform for your ceremony, there is a $50.00 surcharge. Please note that due to my schedule, I may not always have time available to learn new pieces.
- Recessional music is joyful music that is played at the conclusion of the wedding ceremony as the wedding participants exit the venue. Listen to "Trumpet Voluntary"
- I usually do not perform an extended “Postlude” after the wedding ceremony. Unless you are being married in a large Church where it will take much time for everyone to exit, I find that at most weddings, guests will go directly to the cocktail hour or reception after the event. If you would like to book a cocktail hour with your wedding, this service is also available.
