"Being a part of a wedding is a privilege in and of itself.   Being able to project my passion -- music -- at a wedding is a gift.  From meeting an excited couple for the first time, to getting to know their hopes and interests, to their last dance after a fun night that was tailored to their personalities, my role is one of fun, creativity, and detail.  I once had a client who said, "Great weddings are made of good food, good music, and great people."  I have an appetite for a great wedding.
