Wedding Ceremonies

What's Included With Every Booking

Personalized Planning & Support
Your booking includes ongoing phone and email support with me. I'll help you select music for your ceremony, coordinate the musical details, and ensure everything fits the vision you have in mind.

Custom Music
Your booking includes up to two custom ceremony song arrangements/transcriptions, arranged specifically for the instruments you select.

If you'd like more than two songs that are not already in our extensive repertoire, additional arrangements are $50 per song.

Ceremony Pricing

Our ceremony package includes:

  • 30 minutes of prelude music, with selections curated by us

  • Your choice of ceremony music from our repertoire

  • Up to two custom song arrangements

  • Personalized assistance with selecting your ceremony music

Our most popular instruments are piano, strings, and guitar, but we can assemble a wide variety of instrumental combinations to suit your event.

Ceremony pricing is based on the number of musicians:

  • Solo musician: $350

  • Each additional musician: $300

For example, a string trio or piano/violin/cello trio would be $950 total.

We'll do our best to accommodate specific prelude requests, as well.

Cocktail Hour & Rehearsal Dinner

Cocktail hour and rehearsal dinner music is $200 per musician, per hour.

For a one-hour booking with only one musician, the rate is $250. This single-musician minimum does not apply when cocktail hour is added to a ceremony booking.

You can choose the musical style you'd like, and we'll curate selections that create the atmosphere and vibe you're looking for. We're also happy to accommodate specific song requests whenever possible.

We typically have a one-hour minimum, but when the same musicians are performing both your ceremony and cocktail hour, we're happy to pro-rate the cocktail hour.

Sound System

We also offer professional sound system rentals for your ceremony.

Our system can include:

  • Wireless microphone for your officiant

  • Wireless microphone on a stand for readings, etc.

  • Speaker

  • All required cabling

  • Sound technician/operator

Pricing is $300 for the first microphone and $100 for each additional microphone. A one-microphone rental includes all required equipment, cabling, and a sound technician.

Venue-Dependent Charges

Travel: A travel fee may apply for venues located more than 20 miles from the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. Any applicable travel fee will be discussed with you before booking.

Certificate of Insurance (COI): If your venue requires a Certificate of Insurance, we can provide one for $50.

Parking: If your venue does not provide reasonably close, free parking for musicians, a $20 parking fee per musician will apply.

Location Change: If your ceremony and cocktail hour are in different locations, a fee will apply.

Longer Ceremonies

Our standard ceremony pricing covers ceremonies of up to 40 minutes. For ceremonies lasting longer than 40 minutes, an additional $50 per musician will apply.

Ceremony Rehearsals

In our experience, most couples do not need the musicians to attend their ceremony rehearsal. We help you plan the musical cues and timing in advance so everything can run smoothly on the day of the ceremony.

Rather than requiring you to time your entrance to a fixed recording, we tailor the length and form of each musical selection to match the timing of your processional. This allows you

to walk at a natural pace and gives the musicians the flexibility to extend, shorten, or repeat sections of the music as needed.

If you'd prefer to have your musicians present at the rehearsal, we're happy to arrange that for an additional fee based on the rehearsal's timing and location.
