Music

Wedding ceremonies  in the old Church of Santa Fe are especially enchanting for classical guitar and I have performed for dozens of weddings around Albuquerque; in churches of every denomination in addition to hotels, banquet halls, public parks, and in the backyard.

A wonderful thing about bringing in a classical guitar to a wedding ceremony is that it can fit and work nearly everywhere for any size wedding.

A solo classical guitar creates an elegant and romantic ambiance for a ceremony. Whether you envision a traditional ceremony with classic repertoire or a non-traditional ceremony with a fresh interpretation of the matrimonial rites, I will do my best to help make your special day perfect.

Performing for a wedding ceremony is a great honor in addition to being a tremendous thrill. It is also a great responsibility, and I pride myself in my professionalism and positive demeanor. I am happy to meet with you early in the planning process to work through the right music for your day, including music during the pre-wedding prelude, music for ceremony itself, and music for the reception. And of course, I am always happy to share my experiences and offer counsel if asked.

Some folks hire me just for the ceremony, while others are interested in having me play for the post-wedding cocktail/dinner hour. I welcome all opportunities, but of course, I always find it to be a terrific transition from ceremony to reception if I perform for both, and package pricing is available !

With advance notice I am always willing to adapt with special music selected for your event.

Traditional wedding music always in my repertoire:

• Bridal Chorus Richard Wagner

• Canon in D Johann Pachelbel

• Over the Rainbow - Harold Arlen

• Wedding March Felix Mendelssohn

• Here Comes the Sun - Lennon/McCartney

• Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring - JS Bach
