Overview
Great music can turn a blasé event into a memorable one. Let’s make it shine.
Events such as weddings and corporate events are often complicated productions with many moving parts. The music has to appeal to a diverse range of people in order for the room to come together into a high-impact, unforgettable event. When I’m hired for an event, I work with planners to get a sense of the vision for the event and then curate a set list that will appeal to interns and board members alike and enhance the energy of the space. You can expect a polished, reliable professional with state-of-the-art equipment to show up on time and support the success of your event.
