I can play for your guests while they are assembling
before the ceremony,
during parts of the ceremony, while you are
signing the book, and afterwards. Let me know what parts
of your event you want me to play for.
Note: I have many other pieces from the
standard
classical repertoire. Feel free
to suggest or request other items.
