What are your rates?
Our rates are determined by a number of factors including the ensemble you choose, the season, and travel from the Denver area. For more specific rate information, Contact Me to receive a personalized wedding or event music proposal.
Do you take special song requests?
We love learning new music to add a special and personalized touch to your wedding day! If you would like us to play a song that’s not in our repertoire, we can add it to our repertoire and learn it for a “new song fee”.
If a high-quality music arrangement written specially for your ensemble isn’t available for purchase, I will compose a custom professionally scored music arrangement. These music arrangements typically involve 4-5 hours of meticulous work, and I will create them for the same price. Because of the time involved, I request that you make such requests at least one month prior to your wedding.
6+ months prior to wedding:
$15 per musician per song
2 - 6 months prior to wedding:
$20 per musician per song
1 - 2 months prior to wedding:
$25 per musician per song
2025 Pricing: Add $5 to each dollar amount listed
Solo Flute Signature Package Exclusive: I can purchase and learn up to five new songs, included in your package, if sheet music is available. This is available for solo flute songs with no backing tracks.
How can I book you?
Contact Me to reserve your date. In order to reserve our music for your wedding or event day, I require a non-refundable deposit of one half the total bill and an (electronically) signed contract. For payment, I accept credit cards, Venmo, Zelle, and personal checks. The remaining balance is due one week before our performance.
Do you play outdoors?
When playing outdoors, our goal is to provide a performance that’s consistent with our very high musical standards and to protect our delicate musical instruments from the elements. The specifics of our plan for inclement weather depend on the venue's layout and policies, instruments hired, and time of year. From initial suggestions in our first communication to refining the plan based on your needs, I will work with you to tailor our weather plan to your event.
Will the music be loud enough?
The sound of our acoustic ensembles carries very well, but our sound can be lost in certain outdoor settings or during a noisy cocktail hour and/or reception. Because of this, amplified music can provide a richer, more immersive sound experience than acoustic ensembles in some spaces. We provide optional professional sound equipment to amplify our instruments so that your guests will be able to fully appreciate the beauty of our live music in any setting. If needed, amplification will be included in your wedding music package at no additional charge.
Do you travel outside the Denver metro area?
We travel to Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Colorado mountain locations including Vail, Breckenridge, Estes Park and more. Your wedding or event music proposal will always include travel costs, if applicable.
Do you personally play for each performance?
I personally play my flute for every flute-inclusive booking and my cello for most string-only bookings, and you’ll be sure to get my dedicated care and attention from booking us through the final performance. In the rare case that I won’t be playing, my talented and experienced team members will be sure to impress.
Do the ceremony musicians come to the wedding rehearsal?
We are available to come to your wedding rehearsal for an extra fee that will be included in the contract, however it is very rare that we are contracted for a rehearsal. We are experienced with weddings and know how to time the music to fit your ceremony. I also speak with your wedding coordinator, the site manager, and/or your officiant before the wedding ceremony to coordinate the ceremony details and cues.
Will you perform with other musicians, or only your musicians?
I will perform with any other musicians as long as they make arrangements for the music with me at least a month in advance and arrange to rehearse with me before your wedding or event.
How does the music selection process work?
You can choose your level of involvement in selecting music. Once I get a feel for the type of music that you want, I can create a personalized set list for your wedding or event. If we are playing for your wedding ceremony, you will receive additional guidance and help in selecting your processional and recessional songs at our consultation.
What is your break policy?
We will need one ten minute break every hour for performances two hours or longer.
Will the musicians need to be fed?
It’s not necessary to feed us for a ceremony or cocktail hour performance, but if we’re playing for the reception or dinner, food is very welcome.
Are there any upcoming performances where we could see you play live?
I mostly perform at private events and weddings, however, I do occasionally have a public performance which you are welcome to attend. Before you book, you are also welcome to join me for a complimentary personal music consultation.
