Bringing a destination wedding to fruition entails a seamless interaction between wedding planner, officiant, photo/video, and musician, and we, as Virgin Islands wedding professionals, have the experience to make everything go smoothly. I can help you construct a custom music program, or you can simply leave it to me, as many couples choose to do, with great results either way.
The violin and the guitar are both very classic and romantic. Also, consider violin for the ceremony, and guitar for the cocktail hour, for a diverse and engaging musical experience. I do this over and over again, to rave reviews. (I’ve often done the reverse too!)
I can provide both traditional wedding classics, and more contemporary romantic songs, with a little island flavor thrown into the mix if you like. I’ve performed for many Catholic, as well as Jewish weddings, and am intimately familiar with both the flow of the services, and the musical subtleties. I can also provide entirely secular, non traditional music, if desired.
LGBTQ are welcome - One Love!
I also offer lovely sounding, and well rehearsed violin/guitar, and violin/piano duos. Other duos, or even trio combinations may be options, depending on the wishes of the couple, and the availability of the musicians.
For both guitar and violin I bring a small, battery powered, stereo amp - just enough to make sure I’m heard clearly by all present, regardless of location. I am extremely selective in the way I reproduce the sound of both instruments, and seem to get many compliments.

No wedding is quite complete without beautiful music, and I’ve now provided the enchanting soundtrack to hundreds of them. I hear time, and time again that the day would have never been the same without my contributions!
Choosing Songs
Below is a list of suggested wedding songs. The ‘traditional’ section lists the common classical themes that are often played as preludes, processionals, and recessionals. Generally, I advise couples to choose two or three themes, either classical or pop - no rules here - for the ceremony itself, and allow me to fill in the rest with appropriate material. If there’s ones you see that you really like, feel free to let me know, and I’ll do my best to fit them in. I perform pre-ceremony music, the ceremony itself, and post ceremony (while photos, cake, toasts, etc. often happen). This is typically around an hour, overall.
If you’re not familiar with some of the classical themes listed here, many can be found at this web site
I can also prepare a special request or two for you, as long as they’re adaptable to the instrument. I learn new music all the time for folks. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns!
