My Wedding Rates
My wedding rates are not based upon what I think you'll
pay me or upon some convoluted formula. Instead, my
rates are plain and simple. I charge $500 for three
hours of live music!
After playing live keyboard and guitar with no breaks for
three hours, my rate is then lowered to $100 per hour,
thereafter. So, if I play live music for a total of five hours,
your total cost is $700. If your event is more than 50 miles
away, I may ask to be reimbursed for travel and/or lodging
expenses, but I'll always negotiate with you in advance.
That's it! No hidden charges and no surprises. If you
want a contract or performance agreement, I'll provide
one. I'm also happy to play music on a handshake.
And remember: I'm so confident you and your guests will
love my music, I provide a double-your-money back
guarantee in writing on your contract. Oh, by the way,
I'm always willing to negotiate my rate or payment schedule.

Generally, here's how many of my clients utilize my services:
Rehearsal Reception: Many of my clients want me to play during
the reception of their wedding rehearsal, and it's not always just
playing quiet music in the background. They want to dance!
Wedding Ceremony: Very often, I'm asked to play pre-recorded
classical music for the ceremony. It's one less thing for anyone to
worry about. However, more and more couples are requesting a
combination of original music for the ceremony with some
traditional pre-recorded classical music. Because the wedding
ceremony is usually in a different location than the reception,
I'll set up different musical and sound equipment in each location.
Wedding Reception: Immediately following the wedding ceremony,
and while the wedding party is involved in the photography session,
I'm on my way to the location of the reception. I'll arrive before any
of the guests and will play piano quietly for about an hour. As MC, I'll
announce the members of wedding party when they arrive.
Dinner: As MC, I'll introduce all the people making toasts, explain the
logistics for dinner, and then play quietly in the background while
everyone is eating. I also provide a microphone for guests who want
make announcements (or sing). For the rest of the evening, I'll make
certain all of your requests and wedding activities run smoothly.
Dance Party: This is the time when I crank up the volume to get your
party started. Of course, I'll continue to coordinate all of your activities
and provide the kind of dance music everyone, at any age, loves to hear.
I'm also ready for the would-be singers, musicians and speechmakers
who want to use the guest microphone -- if you're willing. I'll also make
a video for you, and subsequently a DVD, of all your special dances.
Wedding Video: While you're on your Honeymoon, I'll work directly with
your videographer to produce original music for the soundtrack of your
wedding video.
