“You should only play pieces that you’re willing to marry..”

What could set a more romantic mood for your wedding than beautiful live Spanish Guitar Music played by a professional musician?

Wedding Reception
Weddings

Weddings are my favourite events! After many years playing for weddings I still really enjoy each new one I play for. Each is as different and individual as the couples who are getting married.



I always take great care to discuss each event with the bride and groom a few times before the day, to get an idea of what music will work best, and to work out the logistics of the big day to make sure everything runs smoothly.



Contracts are exchanged in advance to ensure attention to detail and peace of mind. I have a wide repertoire of music and can tailor the mood to suit the occasion - please ask for details.

Ceremony

Often requested at the ceremony is gentle, melodic background music to provide an ambience as the guests assemble. You can select pieces from an extensive repertoire to be played either for the Bride's entrance, during the signing of the register or at the Recession.

Reception

Whether you would like gentle background music or something more upbeat and lively for the reception, the guitar is versatile enough for all moods. I can provide gentle amplification for up to 300 guests if required, or can play 'unplugged' for smaller more intimate numbers, in accordance with your wishes. More portable than pianos / harps etc I can set up almost anywhere and add a very special musical flavour to your Big Day.

“Mini DJ” Service

As I will (most likley) be bringing my 400W PA system to your event, why not use that to play CD music for other times during the day/evening? This may offer a simpler and MUCH more affordable option than hiring a DJ. I do not have the full dance floor and disco lights equipment, nor do I have the extensive music library that an ordinary DJ has - but if you tell me in advance what music you would like, or if you would like to bring your own CDs / MP3 player etc we can use that. Please ask for further details.

All my equipment is fully insured and PAT tested to meet legal requirements.
