Here is a list of some of the songs I play for weddings & other events, however my repertoire is not limited to the songs on this list, as I know many other songs, and can learn additional songs, if needed. My goal is a happy Bride & Groom, so I will always do my best to accommodate your wishes. It’s been a few years since I’ve updated this list, and I am in the process of recording and uploading samples of each piece. The underlined pieces have samples, mostly audio, but occasionally a Youtube video.

Final Note
For most weddings, I recommend a selection of classical pieces for the Prelude (while your guests are being seated), but I will gladly play any music you select. If you don’t have a specific piece in mind for the seating of the parents, I can continue with classical selections. You’ll want to select Processional & Recessional pieces, & if needed, music for Unity Candle, or other special music. Of course, you are welcome to come hear me play before you make any selections!
For Receptions, cocktail hours, & dinner events, I play a big mix of Classical, Rock, Jazz, & a variety of other styles. If you don’t see the pieces you want on this list, please let me know & I will do my best to add them!
I can also provide additional musicians: Flute, Violin, Cello, Viola, Bass, Trumpet, Oboe.
In most cases, all of the above pieces will still be available, plus additional pieces that I play with
specific combos, for example, with flute I include:
Intermezzo from Carmen Suite No. 1 - Bizet
Pavane - Faure
Meditation from Thais - Massenet
AveMaria - Caccini
...and many other pieces.
