Music for Special Events
Music creates the atmosphere for special events. Finding a musician you can trust is essential to capturing the moment and making it memorable. What will make your event special is the unique part of you that it represents.
Personalized Music
To personalize your special event, I schedule a consultation with you to select music that fits the style and mood of the occasion. Whether you are considering music for a formal event such as a wedding or background music for a holiday party or reception, I have a wide range of classical, jazz, and popular tunes, and I am also happy to play specific music requests as well. I travel within the greater Seattle area.
For any Occasion
- Wedding ceremony music, including vocal solos if requested
- Ceremony and special music for graduations and funerals
- Personalized music for wedding receptions, banquets, dinners, and corporate events
- Live piano music for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, and retirements
- Christmas parties for family, friends, or businesses
Weddings
Testimonials
“As the bride, the music on your wedding day is one of the most important aspects of your 'big' day. Lindsay was everything and more you would expect in your pianist. She gave great recomendations for music, was on time and came professionally dressed for rehearsal and the ceremony and always had a smile! She played an important part in making our day memorable."
"Lindsay was super great to work with and helpful in every aspect. At our first meeting she played several sample songs that totally fit what we were looking for. When we couldn't find the music for a very special song she was able to transcribe and play it perfectly. Not only was everything leading up to our wedding easy and smooth, but the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. It was obvious that Lindsay had done a lot of preparation for our special day and all the compliments we heard from our guests confirmed it."
“Lindsay is very professional and it was easy working with her to pick out our wedding music. I appreciate Lindsay’s creativity and her beautiful touch when playing the piano! For our communion song, Lindsay arranged a special version of “All Creatures of Our God and King” to play with my sister on violin, and it was a beautiful duet! I wanted to have live reception music at our garden summer wedding, so Lindsay even powered through playing outside in 98 degree weather!”
Weddings are one of the most requested events for live music, and the elegant music I bring to these events is unforgettable and completely customized for you.
What are you available to play?
I play both solo piano and ensemble music. If you wish me to accompany another musician (vocal or instrumental), I am happy to perform with them. For the additional coordination and rehearsal time, I charge an extra $25 fee to play special music with another musician.
What would you wear?
For formal events, I wear professional musician attire: a black dress or black slacks/blouse. I do my best to comfortably blend into the formal setting.
What is your payment/cancellation policy?
I request a $100 non-refundable deposit to reserve the date for your wedding. The payment balance may be paid by check to me either before or at the rehearsal.
What are your fees?
The cost for weddings typically ranges from $200-$350, depending on location and the time involvement. I offer a free music consultation for selecting exactly the style and songs you would like at your wedding. I have many traditional and non-traditional options to suggest, and am also open to any special requests.
My basic wedding package is $200 for your ceremony, which includes the rehearsal time, prelude and postlude music, and also special solo music.
The deluxe wedding package is $300, which includes everything in the basic package, plus 1 ½ hours of elegant reception music. I charge an additional $50/extra hour. If you have special budget needs, please ask me for further options on how to make this do-able for you.
How far do you travel for events?
I travel at no extra charge up to an hour radius from my home in Redmond. My travel rate for anything further is an additional $40/hour, rounded to the nearest quarter of an hour.
