Planning a wedding means thinking about a thousand details, and music plays a key role in setting the tone. Considering live wedding music for your cocktail hour? Wondering how it all works in practice? Let me walk you through, step by step, how I work with couples to create a unique, elegant, and unforgettable atmosphere.

Getting in Touch
It all starts simply, a message, an email, or a phone call. You tell me your date, venue, and overall vision. Together, we chat about the kind of atmosphere you want to create, your musical preferences, and the vibe of your day.
My role at this stage is to listen, guide, and reassure. Every wedding is different, and my goal is to tailor the performance to your world.
Quote & Booking
Once your needs are clear, I’ll send you a detailed quote covering every aspect of the performance: duration, equipment, travel, and more. When you're ready, a deposit secures your date. From that point on, your booking is confirmed and I stay available right up to the big day.
Musical Preparation
A few weeks before the wedding, we’ll reconnect to go over the details:
Song selection based on your tastes
A personalized setlist to match the atmosphere you want
Technical planning, location, acoustics, and any gear needed
Everything is designed to feel smooth, natural, and perfectly in tune with your event.

The Big Day: Setup & Performance
On the wedding day, I arrive early to set up the equipment, do a soundcheck, and make sure everything is ready, all without disrupting your schedule. And once that’s done… I usually relax with a crossword puzzle before the show begins!
As your guests arrive, the music starts. A warm, eclectic repertoire that resonates with all generations, performed live in a chic and laid-back style. My mission: to create a musical bubble that enhances the moment without overshadowing it, adding elegance, feeling, and charm.
After the Last Note…
Once the performance ends, I quietly pack up my gear, making sure not to interfere with the flow of your day. And most importantly, I leave you to fully enjoy your celebration, surrounded by your loved ones… and hopefully, some beautiful musical memories.
In Short
Working with a live musician for your wedding means:
✔️ A personalized ambiance ✔️ A smooth and professional experience ✔️ A meaningful memory for you and your guests
