Live Guitar

live performance

One of my favorite parts of being a wedding musician and likely one of the most unique aspects of my offerings is my Live Performance. I play guitar and sing professionally and I absolutely love to do this at weddings! I can play during any section of the day and I regularly begin as a “wandering minstrel” while guests arrive and continue for the Ceremony Processionals & Recessional. But don’t get me wrong, I love to lead a sing-a-long during cocktail hour or serenade guests while they enjoy dinner!

Though my musical repertoire (catalog) is quite large, I happily learn songs for my clients. If you have a dream, I’d love to bring it to life, LIVE!

DJ Set + Live Performance

This is a real game changer. Want to have a BAND at your wedding (but don’t want to drop $10k), and also want a DJ? Without spending $5-10k on a band, live musicians can bring classic songs to life along with my DJ set. I have played in bands since I was 15 and I have many professional musicians at my disposal. Just say that word and we can add on Sax, Violin, Drums, whatever you’d like. My network is stacked with talent!

Guests can even jam along with live musicians (for better or worse at times ;). Beau on standing drum kit!

Special Moments featuring Live Music

First Dance featuring Live Guitar

First Dance Live Guitar “Wonderful Tonight” Eric Clapton cover, looping guitar
I couldn’t play this song without the iconic solo, so I brought out the loop-pedal, so there could be two of me bringing this dream to life.

First Dance – Written by the Groom!

1st Dance written by Groom performed by The Celebration DJ
When the Groom asked me to perform a song that he wrote for his wife, I basically fell in love with him too! And of course, I said “YES”
