COORDINATORS... Wedding coordinators can really make a difference when it comes to planning your wedding. It's like having a conductor for the orchestra. I have a few coordinators that I work with consistently and I highly recommend them. They can do everything from simply helping you find a location to handling every last detail from beginning to end.

Saint Augustine, Florida has always been a very popular spot for weddings. With it's numerous picturesque gardens and courtyards, romantic horse-drawn carriage rides, five-star restaurants and quaint inns, it's no wonder that it's such an ideal spot for wedding ceremonies and receptions. "For many years now, I have been providing the musical ambiance for many of these memorable events. Whether a large extravagant wedding or a simple affair, indoors or outdoors, the guitar can be a wonderful addition to your ceremony and reception. I have battery powered equipment so I can be heard at the beach or anywhere outdoors just as easily as an indoor setting. Because I am playing the music live and in person -- I can time the music to fit the processionals. When you reach the alter the music will end in a normal, natural sounding fashion and not stop abruptly or fade out too quickly. You don't have to worry about following the music -- The music will follow you. It's one of the benefits of using a live musician. Give me a call or Email Me me and let me know how I can be of service to you or if you have any questions."
 WEDDING MUSIC... Most of the weddings I play follow a basic format, although any of it can be altered or customized to your liking... anything goes, it's your wedding. In
general, weddings are divided into five sections: prelude,
processional, ceremony, recessional, and
postlude. I have a number of songs that have proven to work
well for each of these sections. To personalize your wedding, you can
choose the selections of music to be performed during each of these
portions from any of my song lists. If you have no preference then I will be happy to choose for
you. Here are some suggestions for musical selections. Keep in mind
that any of the pieces of music can be used in any section of the
wedding... these are only suggestions. There is also a master song list
on my homepage for additional ideas. This is the music that is heard 20 to 30 minutes prior to your ceremony as the guests are arriving and being seated. I've found that a variety of light classical and New Age music works the best. Sometimes a jazz standard or love song is a nice touch. As the ceremony nears I usually play more classical. The last piece in the prelude is usually a special selection for the seating of the mothers, grandparents, and other special people... a more serious classical or religious piece works well here.
Processional Once everyone has been seated then the processional music begins. There are usually 2 pieces of music chosen... one for the bridal party (bridesmaids, flower girls, etc.) and one for the bride. The bride's processional music is typically more spirited than the bridal party's processional music. Pay special attention to how long the bridal processional will be. I've had some couples pick out several minutes of music only to have the bride race down the isle in 20 seconds. A short piece of music can be repeated, but a long piece of music can sometimes be awkward to end abruptly. This entrance is one of the most important moments of the day.
Ceremony Sometimes music is
used during the ceremony, perhaps during the Unity Candle or as a
meditation. If you have someone who wants to sing a song, I can
probably back them up on guitar. A special love song can work well
here, or no music at all. Dreamgift
is a nice song for a unity candle. This music is played as you and your new spouse exit arm in arm. The music should be majestic and joyous with a quick tempo. I often play several pieces of music, one after the other.
Postlude This music is performed as your guests are leaving, or perhaps there is a receiving line or photographs yet to be taken. I usually play a variety of music for about twenty minutes or until people start to filter out towards the reception or the bride and groom leave the scene. Any of the songs from the previous sections or the master song list may be used.
