A regular-sized chair without arms.
No electric outlet is needed - my setup is completely battery powered.
I need only directions to the venue and/or ceremony site. It would also be helpful to know when I can access the venue for setup and also if there is a point of contact person I could get in touch with.
I provide all of my own sound equipment, unless there is an in-house speaker system already in place.
This is not really applicable since I am usually performing on the guitar.
Absolutely! I am based between Berlin and San Francisco and I can travel to events anywhere in the world.
I performed at a house wedding right on the beach in Lanikai and Adam Divine and his girlfriend at the time, Chloe Bridges, were friends of the groom and they danced to my arrangement of Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours." It was really sweet and they are now married today. Another highlighted wedding memory was when I performed at the historic Asian Art Museum in San Francisco for 500 people.
Weddings of any size.
I started performing for weddings and events in 2009 and have played for over 500 events since then. I have mentored other musicians to become expert wedding musicians as well.
The Beatles have been the most influential in the way of arranging songs for the classical guitar. Performers that have influenced me include Segovia, Jason Mraz, John Legend, and Christina Perri. Composers that have influenced me include Bach, Beethoven, and Tarrega.

Absolutely! I have a battery-powered system that doesn't require any access to power outlets. As long as the temperature is above 58 degrees F or 14.5 degrees C, I am happy :)
Quoted prices include your choice of songs found within my current guitar repertoire. However, I am also happy to take custom song requests and specially arrange something for you on the classical guitar. There is an extra fee for this service depending on the song.
Breathtaking, elegant, and beautiful are the most common words that others use to describe my playing. I have been complimented by previous clients as a "guitarist's guitarist" and sounding like a harp with the character, versatility, and personality of a guitar.
A typical wedding ceremony may look something like this:
-Prelude: music begins 20-30 minutes prior to the ceremony as guests arrive
-Processional: A piece of your choosing from my repertoire is played to accompany the bridal party’s walk down the aisle
-Bridal Processional: A piece of your choosing from my repertoire is played to accompany the bride’s walk down the aisle
-Special Music: (Optional) signing of the marriage license, candle lighting ceremony, or other
-Recessional: A piece of your choosing from my repertoire is played at the end of the ceremony
