WEDDINGS

Wedding Ceremonies:
Imagine the romantic warmth and elegance of having your guests arrive as a guitar or mandolin is softly playing in the background. After all  are seated, and with a nod from the officiant, a violin begins to play as the bridal party begins their procession down the aisle. The magic has begun!

Whether your affair is large or small, inside a catering facility or outside on the beach, your first marriage or the 'second time around' - my goal is to make your ceremony as wonderful an event as it deserves to be - and one that you will remember fondly the rest of your lives

 * I can also provide a 'top notch' PA for your ceremony including a microphone for your officiant as well as myself. Having your wedding on the beach? I can also provide a sophisticated battery operated  PA system so
your wedding will sound as wonderful outside as it would indoors!

OTHER SERVICES

Anniversaries  Consider adding the 'icing on the cake' to this celebrated occasion as I play for your guests (including a few 'special songs' for the happy couple!)  I can either be there as the guests arrive, or come as a surprise during the dinner hour. Either way, it will make for a joyous and memorable time for all.

Holiday / Theme Parties  Whether you're having a get together for Christmas, Hanukkah, St. Patrick's Day  or other holiday / theme  celebration, treat yourself and your guests to a memorable time with songs of the season, includes sing along sheets for everybody!

Dinner Parties  Either for a birthday or get together with good friends ... soft guitar in the background, an occasional request, and light dancing add 'just the right touch' to your special evening. Depending on the whims of your guests, it just might evolve into an evening of sing alongs, name that tune, and other musical fun.

Elderly Entertainment  One of the things I really enjoy is playing for the elderly, as they know so many of the beautiful American songs of the 30's and 40's and are always eager to sing along.  
Let me help them recall the 'good old days' at either their 75th (or more) birthday party or for a special event at any of our local assisted living facilities.

Beatles Sing Alongs  Here's something different for all of you of 'baby boomer' age. We all know the words to lots of Beatle songs, but I'll bring lyric sheets for everybody anyway. Includes a Beatles Jeopardy game and Name That Tune segment. Makes for a great time for everyone - including me!

Memorials  Though the passing of a loved one is never easy, the addition of sensitively played music at the gravesite or memorial can help soothe those in attendance, and enhance the atmosphere of remembrance.
