With Jessica Styler's rare Swiss instrument, she creates uniquely beautiful wedding music to make your ceremony and cocktail hour as magical as you’ve always imagined it will be…
The Swiss PANArt Hang (pronounced hung) was invented circa 2001 A.D. and is the result of a marriage between art and science. With this instrument, Jessica creates a gorgeous musical wedding experience, from the moment your guests arrive, during the processional, the cocktail hour, and through dinner. By gathering some of the most talented Bay Area musicians, she will help you plan a perfect musical backdrop for your wedding day.
As the Senior Events Officer for the San Jose Museum of Art, I required something that was unique and would fit within our Gala theme The Wonder Ball. I came across Heavenly Wedding Music on Gig Salad and couldn't believe it, this was exactly what I was looking for and didn't know existed! Jessica was a joy to work with, she understood the tone our guest would enjoy during the reception and suggested the perfect accompanied instrument/performer to join her that evening. It wasn't just their eclectic music that made the evening, it was their professionalism to our guests that evening that made them such a hit! For an event planner, there are so many things you have to worry about the evening of a event and that particular evening there was a major challenge with our AV company. Jessica and Evan saw that I was not able to manage their placement and performance and took it upon themselves to self direct and go with the flow of the evening. I can't thank them enough for being such great partners, I can't thank them enough for being an important part of our evening's success. Our guests loved them, they went above and beyond!! I would definitely hire her again and can't recommend them enough for a wedding or event. They are not your average performers and their music is something so special!!
The fabulous Jessica Styler of Heavenly Wedding Music created and coordinated the music for our entire Carmel-by-the-Sea wedding - the pre-ceremony, ceremony, dinner, reception, and after party!!! Jessica, Aharon, Evan and Vir performed the most divine musical compositions which evolved throughout the afternoon and evening to compliment the flow of events. As I walked down the aisle and the first notes struck him, my husband’s tears began flowing. From the ethereal and dreamlike ceremony to the wild and spirited Middle Eastern after party music, we couldn’t have imagined it more perfect. On top of it, Jessica is a joy to work with. She is super sweet, always quick to respond to our calls and emails, and very knowledgable about event planning. We will most definitely book her again for future events… She is also a lovely new friend who we will love to invite as a guest! Thank you for making our intimate wedding so spectacular, Jessica. You are amazing. We love you.
Hearing Jessica's Hang as I walked across the vineyard toward my wonderful man was like being escorted by a chorus of angels. My sturdy big brother said that as she started playing the first note he was overcome with emotion (very unlike him) and for the whole ceremony he was in happy tears.
Jessica is an extremely talented musician! Her music transported me and all my guests into the magical wonderland I had dreamed of for months!
I am so grateful that she made my wish come true!

Jessica Styler puts together beautiful and unique duos, trios, and full ensembles with the instruments of your choosing, to create a perfect musical backdrop for any activity during your wedding day. *Visit her brochure in the photo gallery to see your instrument options.
Jessica Styler has studied and performed classical music for 20 years, with a major in voice performance in college. She first heard the Hang (pronounced 'hung') in 2005 and changed her life in order to take a trip to the PANArt Company in Berne, Switzerland, where the Hang is made. The HANG was invented in 2001 and births a new dimension of musical instrument creation, for it is a vibrationally based instrument that can individually create an acoustic cathedral of sound. At the Hangbauhaus in Switzerland, Jessica participated in the inspired process of finding the Hang that resonated with her. She has been recording and performing since that day. Aside from singing opera and playing the Hang, Jessica also plays the Ukulele, Piano, and the Harmonium.
We compose all original music. We can learn one special song to perform during your ceremony (if desired).

We will provide our own sound system and sound tech if you are booking us as a duo. If you would like a trio, quartet, or larger ensemble to perform, you will have to provide the sound system and sound engineer yourself. Further details will be discussed
