How much do you charge?
   
My base price is $350 for up to 1 1/2 hours. This includes music for the entire ceremony as well as during the arrival and exiting of guests.

How do you provide the accompaniment I hear in your music?
   
Great question. I feature myself as solo cellist on all of my original works as well as my arrangements of traditional music. I bring with me a high end sound system that I use as my accompanying symphony. I like to say I bring the orchestra with me. The end result is a full, rich sound with my performance on the cello being the focus. I can be as loud or soft as needed and have experience indoors and out. I come with all of my own equipment.

What do you perform?
   
I perform a combination of my own original compositions and traditional wedding classics. I feel my music speaks for itself. My intention is to capture the love, joy, excitement and anticipation of the moment. The music I perform at weddings is very uplifting and inspirational. I am a passionate composer and cellist and I love what I do more than anything.

How do I decide the order and placement of the music?
   
I will work with you along the way up until the day of the wedding. This is your wedding and I want it to be exactly how you envision it. A lot of people come to me with very specific ideas, while others leave it up to me. I usually suggest bringing me an itinerary of the ceremony. After listening to my selections you decide where you want my music. I am very experienced in wedding performances, if you want to leave it up to me I am also capable of improvising the timings.

Do you ever perform with anyone else?
   
Yes. I perform with pianists Jeanette Alexander or Stephen Jacob, both northwest composers and performers. When performing together we enhance each other's music in a live and dynamic duo creating a unique sound and performance experience. Although more expensive, we also provide even more variety and generally perform for both the ceremony and the reception. If a real piano is not available at the location of the wedding, both pianists can bring with them high end portable keyboards.

Start by contacting me to find out if your date is available. I am available to meet with you if you are local. Your date is only held once the contract is signed and received. See booking policy.
