Wedding and Event Performance

I play solo acoustic or jazz guitar for wedding ceremonies, private parties, corporate events, and cocktail hours,

Rates are as follows:

Wedding Ceremony, including some requests, Flat Rate: $350, $125 Rehearsal fee.

Cocktail Hour/Parties/Corporate events. $200 for an hour, $125 per additional hour, $125 an hour if paired with a Wedding Ceremony

Additional Travel fee may apply for locations outside of Seattle area.

In addition to my specialty of solo performance, I have a plethora of amazing musicians with whom I work. Whether you are looking for solo jazz guitar or guitar and vocals, guitar duos with a female vocalist, keyboard, or any sort of brass/woodwind. Jazz trio, quartet, quintet, or larger ensembles for your event.  I can provide lower key dinner or cocktail music, or full on funky groove sets with plenty of danceable covers.

We are able to setup and takedown our own equipment (PA rental fees may be an additional charge) and are flexible in working with the unique acoustic challenges and opportunities of both indoor and outdoor venues.

Our rates are very competitive. Please contact us to inquire about our wedding and event services or to request a quote for your big day. We’re also happy to answer any questions regarding our pricing, musical style, availability, etc.

See some videos below of me playing!
