Category: I Love My Work

I love how weddings continually open musical doors for me. Sometimes they rock, I mean like crazy. Like a blistering metal band that performs in their own traveling concert venue (bus), rebelling against the system by avoiding venue and record label fees… This experience came into my life because I said “YES” to the gift of music in exchange for my wedding work. This bride traded me tickets to this epic Nine Inch Nails show for part of our wedding package. That’s a good deal for me any day!

People ask me regularly: “Do you ever get sick of weddings? The same ceremony over and over? The same songs played?” My resounding response is always “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” I find every wedding, ceremony, vows, toasts, dance party and group of people to be entirely unique. Each couple brings together a unique concoction of loving traits that teach me about what’s humanely possible and what’s available to me, if I act with love. After 400+ weddings, I still tear-up, pretty much every week. And what blossoms in my life from this continual river of love that I choose to bathe in every week, it always grows good fruit in my life. This video is an example of how that tends to play out.

I have an insatiable musical appetite. I am ALWAYS seeking new musical experiences. Music is my drug of choice 😉 Weddings keep me learning and growing as the musical needs are different every week. Imagine how different a Mexican/Indian wedding set is than a Country/Rap wedding!?! See my example sets for a glimpse into these uniquely curated wedding sets.

One of my favorite perks of the job… I’m “forced” to buy myself great suits and my clients get to choose which one I don for their big day. There’s nothing like strutting around in a slick suit…
