About Wedding Guitar (services)
When playing for a wedding ceremony, it is important to work closely with the client to help pick the music that they like and that will bring a smile to their guests. Traditional songs like the Bridal Chorus (video) or the Wedding March (video) are standard fair for most weddings and they sound fantastic on the guitar. Please listen these songs in the audio player or watch the videos to hear me perform these songs.
Some Ideas:- Try classical guitar to set the mood for your wedding announcement party...
- Have you though about calming everyone with soothing Guitar at the rehearsal dinner?
- Guitar during the cocktail hour...
- Add a second guitarist to any occasion and have a lovely duet!
- For anniversary parties: add a lovely backdrop of guitar to your 1'st or 50th anniversary
If you are considering the guitar for your wedding ceremony, you are trying something more unique. The normal String Quartet or Harp music has been played out. With a live guitar the song choices become much more diverse. Songs like 'Here Comes the Sun' have become commonplace locally in San Diego since I started playing it as a recessional some 10 plus years ago. Now many guitarists use it as the recessional to the ceremony.
I have played songs like the theme from 'Snoopy' because the couple wanted to use the dog to bring in the rings. It was great and now many years later, the couple still remembers that as a special moment.
My passion is making the songs for your ceremony special, working with you to plan the ceremony and make sure that what I play, is what you enjoy. At the discretion of the client, I can meet at my home studio to create the outline for your ceremony. At the meeting I can audition some songs from the guitar repertoire that are mostly known only to classical guitarist aficionados that could be used in the ceremony in leu of the traditional wedding songs.
All Wedding events are confirmed with a contract and the client sending the deposit to officially reserve the date. After you have watched some of my videos and please contact to receive an official price quote. I am setting up the option of using a webcam to both introduce myself to a client, play for them live and plan the music via webcam appointment. Guitar only service includes (but not limited to): Wedding Guitar Packages
Wedding ceremony only service allots for time in the following way: - Up to 1.5 hours of time starting 30 minutes prior to the official start of the ceremony
- Ends when the recessional is over
- Should the ceremony start late and take more than 1.5 hours, overtime would be incurred
